Seryosha Garcia Alvarez


Today I traveled to Cuba. While there I meet with Senor Alvarez. We meet at the 69th floor of his office when I contacted him he said I "would not be disappointed by the view"and I was not. Here is a picture of him. Senor Alvarez talked about how Cuba was prepared before the Great Panic because of how informed their leader, Fidel Castro was. Fidel was informed because there were so many doctors in the area when the first out break occurred he knew what happened in a few weeks. Senor Alvarez described how the Quarantine Resettlement program worked. Eventually the housing areas or settlements were overcrowded, so jobs were made and the pay would let people take relatives out of the settlements and make them buy their own homes. Senor Alvarez began to describe how Cuba turned into an international power house and symbol of hope. Because of all the political change, Fidel ended up saying he was the reason for change and good fortune.
