Supporting the Future of the Cuban Economy

Juan Triana is a brilliant young Cuban economist who teaches at Havana University. I met him on a recent trip to Cuba and was impressed with his passion to help his country move forward. Cuba is on the verge of great social and economic change. Juan is an emerging leader who is working to advance the future of the Cuban economy.

He needs your help to raise $1500 for airfare to attend an international economic summit at Nottigngham University, London in September 2014. Cubans do not have access to crowd funding websites and there are very few people within the country who could afford to donate to help Juan. It is essential for Cuban economists and other scholars to interact with their peers from around the world. In Juan's own words, "It is very important for Cuba and Cuban economists to share with people that can help us to learn how to lead our country to the 21st century with economic stability and prosperity."

Any amount of money you can give will help Juan reach his goal. I will make sure Juan receives the money in the proper manner and will keep you updated on his journey to London and progress in his career. This will be Juan's first trip outside of Cuba.

Thank you in advance for your support.
