Can I bring something for Cuban families?

Accepted Answer

Yes — small, voluntary gifts in your own luggage are deeply appreciated. What helps most is light and practical: powdered milk and other powdered foods, basic over-the-counter basics such as pain relievers, vitamins, antacids and simple first-aid supplies, an old phone that still works, batteries, and rechargeable fans or lamps for the frequent power cuts. Nothing big or heavy — a few useful things, given directly to the families you meet, mean the most.
