Head Scarves
January 12, 2012 by staff
Head Scarves, Muslim students are not violating the Education Ministry's dress code by wearing a headscarf or the hijab, Education Minister Woravat Auapinyakul said yesterday.
He said this in response to a rally held yesterday by a Muslim group, which was protesting against two students being suspended by Wat Nong Chok School for wearing a headscarf in class.
After a 30-minute chat with a senior official, Woravat told the gatherers that wearing a hijab did not violate the ministry's dress code for students.
Woravat said he would discuss the matter with the school management and order them to hold extra classes for one of the two suspended students.
The ministry's jurisdiction will be redrawn to accommodate more schools, from 225 to 268 zones, which will divide them into primary and secondary levels, and govern them under two supervisory bodies under the Office of Basic Education Commission.
The Education Council will approve this change, possibly by this month, once all sides have been heard.
There will also be a mission to enhance the high-school curriculum by possibly creating a new formula apart from the existing regular and vocational course. Students who intend to go to university take the regular course, while those who want to start working immediately opt for the vocational course.
The new formula will focus on both courses, but will not include subjects that are not needed for further study.

1 Program Design for Practitioners Children s Education Savings Accounts: A Case Study of San Francisco s Kindergarten to College Program by Jade Shipman Bevans June EARN Page 1
2 Program Design for Practitioners Children s Education Savings Accounts: A Case Study of San Francisco s Kindergarten to College Program by Jade Shipman Bevans June 2013 I. INTRODUCTION Kindergarten to College (K2C) is an innovative program that provides a college savings account to each child entering kindergarten within the San Francisco Unified School District. The City and County of San Francisco s Office of Financial Empowerment (OFE) administers the K2C program, which was launched in In partnership with OFE, the EARN Research Institute has completed two in depth studies of parent preferences, with the goal of informing K2C s administration, account features, and marketing strategies. Although the program is young, this early phase research has yielded valuable insights into program design. This report has been created for practitioners involved with children s education savings accounts. Specifically, we present the features and elements that appeal to parents when they choose a particular account to save in for their children s education. We also present effective marketing channels, messengers, and overall thematic messages that are compelling to parents. Our findings are based on focus group and survey research completed with parents who have at least one child in the K2C program. This research is relevant because there is room in the marketplace for accounts that are similar to those of K2C. Children s savings accounts for education are a promising way to encourage a college savings plan, which in turn can influence college attendance and completion. Studies have shown that college graduates have higher employment rates and earn more money over their lifetimes than those with only high school diplomas. These facts are not lost on parents. Nationwide, 87% of parents state that obtaining a college degree is important for their children. Approximately 69% state that saving for their children s education is one of their household s top savings priorities, yet only 53% have started saving. At the same time, typical mainstream accounts for higher education savings do not have account features that appeal to parents. 1 Appropriately designed accounts can encourage families to save for their children s higher education and long term financial stability. 1 Jade Shipman Bevans and Nga Chiem, Saving for Higher Education in the US: Parents Beliefs, Behaviors, and Preferences. EARN Research Institute, EARN P. 1
3 II. ABOUT K2C K2C is designed to improve the long term educational attainment and financial stability of today s children. To date, approximately 7,500 K2C accounts have been opened for eligible children throughout San Francisco. K2C includes several important elements and features. 2 Automatic Enrollment The accounts are opened automatically when a child enters kindergarten. Parental consent is not required to open the accounts. However, parents are given the option to opt out of the program. Less than 1 percent of the families have opted out to date. Universality Every child enrolling in kindergarten receives an account. Each account is held in trust for a specific child by the City and County of San Francisco. Publicly Funded Seed Deposits Each account is seeded with a $50 deposit. If the child qualifies for free or reduced price lunch, the account receives an additional $50. These seed deposits are funded by the City and County of San Francisco. Savings Incentives The accounts currently include two incentives to save: a dollar for dollar match for the first $100 of family contributions; and a $100 incentive for a minimum $10 monthly contribution for six consecutive months. Savings incentives are funded by private philanthropy. Numerous Deposit Options Deposits can be made in person, by mail, or online. There is no minimum deposit amount. Parents, family members, and friends can all contribute to the accounts. Restricted Withdrawals Funds deposited into the accounts can only be accessed for qualified higher education expenses such as tuition, fees, books, and supplies required for enrollment or attendance. The K2C Program s allowable withdrawals follow Federal rules for Qualified Tuition Plans, also known as 529 accounts. 3 In the case of an emergency, the student, parent, or guardian may submit a withdrawal request to the K2C Program for review. Many Types of Educational Institutions are Eligible Funds can be used at a broad array of postsecondary institutions in the US, including private colleges, public universities, community colleges, graduate schools, vocational schools, and trade schools. Schools in other countries also may be eligible. Financial Education The accounts are used as a teaching tool and are paired with age appropriate financial education curriculum integrated in the classroom, beginning in kindergarten. 2 Program information was provided by the City and County of San Francisco s Office of Financial Empowerment and is current as of February 1, Program details are subject to change. 3 All withdrawals must be made prior to the student attaining the age of 25. For students that serve in a national service program (such as the US Military or Peace Corps), each year of service may increase the maturity date by one year, to a maximum of five years, or attaining the age of 30. If a student does not use these funds for a qualified withdrawal, any non K2C program funds (such as those deposited by a parent or guardian) will be returned to the student. Any funds contributed by the K2C Program will be returned to the K2C program EARN P. 2
4 III. METHODOLOGY The EARN Research Institute conducted two phases of mixed methods research, including focus groups and a telephone survey. EARN selected FM3, a public opinion research firm, to administer the research plan and to provide strategic guidance. Research Phase 1: Six focus groups were held in September Forty seven parents of children who were kindergarteners during the academic year attended the focus groups. Each session was held with a different demographic subgroup, to ensure that the research reflects the diversity of San Francisco parents. Groups were as follows: Parents who had made at least one deposit at the time of the research; Non college educated parents with household incomes at $44,000 or below; College educated parents with household incomes above $44,000; African American parents; Monolingual Spanish speaking parents; Monolingual Cantonese speaking parents. Research Phase 2: A 20 minute telephone survey was conducted in March Participants were 300 parents whose children were kindergarteners during the academic year. The survey was provided in the three languages that have high degrees of representation within the school district: English, Spanish, and Cantonese. The margin of error for the K2C parent survey is +/ 5.4%. The survey focused on parents self reported opinions, attitudes, and behaviors. IV. PROGRAM DESIGN & MARKETING FINDINGS Our research identified a series of findings, of which four are especially relevant to share with the field. In the subsequent pages, we present detailed data points on the following major research findings: #1: Parents like flexible account features. #2: Parents prefer direct contact with the program. #3: School staff and administrators are the best messengers. #4: The most convincing message mentions a 12 year head start on saving for tuition. These findings are significant because parents surveyed express high levels of interest in education savings accounts modeled like K2C. After receiving a brief description of an unnamed account with K2C s features, 77% of parents express interest. More specifically, 55% of parents report they are very interested, while 22% are somewhat interested. Approximately 11% of parents are neutral and just 12% of parents are not very interested EARN P. 3
5 Finding #1: Parents like flexible account features. As shown in Figure 1 below, parents like flexible account features. Approximately 96% of parents find it appealing that funds can be used at different kinds of educational institutions. Some 90% like the fact that friends and family members can contribute and that deposits can be big or small. While still very appealing to more than half (52%) of parents, financial education in the classroom was less compelling than other features. All of the K2C features tested were viewed favorably by parents. Figure 1. Flexible Account Features are Appealing to Parents Very Appealing Somewhat Appealing Total Funds can be used for different kinds of educational institutions 82% 14% 96% Friends and Family Members can make Contributions 70% 20% 90% Your child may be able to earn additional incentives for academic performance or attendance 66% 28% 94% Contributions to your child's K2C account can be as big or small as you like 62% 28% 90% If your child does not use the money by the age of 25, the funds will be returned to the student 62% 25% 87% K2C offers financial education in the classroom for students and in the community for parents 52% 36% 88% Source: K2C Parent Telephone Survey, N=300. 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% These strong findings represent an opportunity for future programs. Our research indicates that organizations should select account features mindfully, and consider including features that allow parents flexibility and safety for their child s educational savings. Selecting unpopular account features may result in less traction among a target population. For example, in a recent EARN survey 79% of parents nationwide state they would be more likely to use an account in which deposits are guaranteed not to lose value. 4 With 529 accounts a taxadvantaged type of account for amassing educational savings deposits can gain or lose value depending on investment choice and market performance. Thus, such accounts are not optimal for many parents. At the same time, parents like withdrawal restrictions, which help ensure that their savings will be used for their child s education. Regular savings accounts do not meet this important need. 5 Understanding and prioritizing consumer preferences is a critical step to creating appealing accounts. Groups serving different target markets may want to consider conducting additional research to understand consumers opinions. 4 Bevans and Chiem, Bevans and Chiem, EARN P. 4
6 Finding #2: Parents Prefer Direct Contact with the Program. To date, parents have received K2C marketing materials through many different channels, including over the telephone, by mail, and in person. EARN tested the appeal of various channels of communication. As shown in Figure 2, the most appealing method of communicating with parents is via mail: 89% state that they would like to be communicated with through letters and postcards. Making information available at school events is popular among 77% of parents, and 72% find appealing. Posting information on the K2C website and telephone communication are channels that appeal to lower percentages of parents: 59% and 51%, respectively. Figure 2. Parents Prefer Receiving Information via Mail and at School Events Mailing letters or postcards to your home 89% Making information available at school events Sending you an 77% 72% Posting information on the K2C website Reaching you by phone 51% 59% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Source: K2C Parent Telephone Survey, N=300. The focus groups yielded additional findings. For complex programmatic information, parents stated that mail is the most appealing channel. We also learned that direct mail materials should be brief and easy to digest in one sitting. Parents requested an FAQ, because it would allow them to hone in on the specific questions they have. Parents also stated that they paid attention to letters about K2C and opened them because the return address was from the school district, and the envelopes were addressed to the parent of with their child s name. This research indicates that practitioners may want to consider reaching out to their target market with communications materials that are clear and succinct. Complex account information may be best communicated via mail. Ideally, if serving parents, communications that are personalized for them or their child may have the most appeal. In addition, the materials may be received best if they come from an organization that the individuals recognize as important, in this case, the school district EARN P. 5
7 Finding #3: School Staff and Administrators are the Best Messengers. EARN sought to understand which messengers are most believable to parents. As shown in Figure 3, teachers & school principals are cited as the most trustworthy sources of information about K2C, with 71% and 65% of parents identifying them as very believable, respectively. All other sources were very believable to 34 38% of parents. For practitioners in the field, teachers and school principals could be brought on board as advocates. This could help ensure that parents trust and utilize children s education savings accounts. For groups that are not partnered with a school district, this research implies that believable messengers could include individuals who parents already know and trust, regardless of their degree of financial knowledge. However, it remains important that the program these advocates are supporting is appealing to parents and meets their needs. Figure 3. Teachers and School Principals are Very Believable Sources of Information about K2C Your child's teacher 71% Your child's school principal 65% The bank where the account is held 38% A financial advisor 37% School secretaries 35% Other parents at your child's school 34% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Source: K2C Parent Telephone Survey, N=300. Note: There is no statistically significant difference in believability between the bank, a financial advisor, school secretaries, and other parents at the child s school. Within the San Francisco Unified School District, school secretaries work at individual schools as front line administrative professionals EARN P. 6
8 Finding #4: The Most Convincing Message Mentions a 12 year Head Start on Saving for Tuition The K2C program has utilized six major messaging concepts. As shown in Figure 4, a majority of parents stated that all six messages were very convincing. Most messages had more than one central theme or idea, which makes it difficult to generalize these findings. However, one message was most popular and was identified as very convincing by 68% of parents: K2C helps you get a 12 year head start on tuition. Starting early and saving what you can, when you can, will help your child achieve the dream of attending college if he or she chooses. Another appealing messaging concept is: With K2C, money deposited is kept safely in trust for your child s education. Unless there is a serious emergency, it cannot be touched until he or she goes to college, pursues vocational training, or turns 25. For practitioners working on similar accounts, comparable messaging concepts could be utilized. The two messages above had broad appeal across all demographic groups. However, it is worth noting that different demographic groups had substantially different interpretations and opinions regarding some of the messages. This was especially true across languages. Thus, the demographics and languages of a specific service area could affect the appeal of different messages. This is a key area that may warrant additional research for other practitioners, especially those in geographic markets with particular demographic compositions. Figure 4. A Majority of Parents State All Six Program Messages are Very Convincing 12 year head start on tuition can help your child achieve the dream of college Deposits are kept in trust for your child's education and cannot be touched unless there is a serious emergency A routine of saving regularly can make it more manageable to achieve savings for college Money is held at a bank in your child's name and is backed by all the guarantees and protections of regular bank accounts No deposit amount is too small. Over time, even a few dollars a month can grow to thousands of dollars You are not saving alone the City and private donors chip in to help you save 68% 63% 59% 57% 56% 55% Source: K2C Parent Telephone Survey, N=300. 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 2013 EARN P. 7
9 V. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES In addition to the research findings above, this research has identified challenges and opportunities. Challenges include the barriers to K2C participation, which include not making participation a priority, financial hardship, and the need for more information. As shown in Figure 5, the top reasons parents cite for not making K2C deposits are: 1) they plan to do so and simply have not yet gotten around to it (27%), and 2) financial hardship (21%). Some parents use a different savings vehicle (12%), while others need additional information about the program (11%). Just 6% of parents have not contributed because they are not interested or dislike something about the K2C program. Figure 5. Main Barriers to K2C Participation Planning on it / Haven't gotten around to it 27% Can't afford It / Financial hardship 21% Have another account 12% Need more information 11% Not sure how the program works 7% Not interested in the program 3% Negative view of the program 3% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% Source: K2C Parent Telephone Survey, N=189. This indicates that efforts to motivate participation in similar programs may be most effective if they encourage a sense of urgency or immediacy among parents. Also, participation could be boosted by emphasizing that even small deposits will count toward their child s future. For the parents who are using other savings vehicles, EARN s approach is that K2C type programs should not attempt to convert such parents to change savings strategies. If parents are saving effectively for college elsewhere, we view that as good news for their children. Yet even with these barriers, the K2C program presents a substantial opportunity for parents to save. When it comes to saving for higher education, we learned that K2C Accounts are among the most popular savings mechanisms and are just as popular as Regular Savings Accounts. Among K2C parents who report that they have started to save for their children s higher education, 34% say they save with K2C, while 35% report they use regular savings accounts (see Figure 6). Other mechanisms for saving include 529 accounts (18%), savings bonds 2013 EARN P. 8
10 (8%), and saving informally outside of a bank (8%). The K2C program is a popular choice among those who are saving. For the field at large, we believe this indicates that if you make savings accounts for education easily available, parents will utilize them, and their children will be better prepared for college as a result. Figure 6. For Parents who Save, Regular Savings Accounts and K2C Accounts are most Commonly Used Regular Savings Account 35% K2C Account 34% 529 Account 18% Savings Bonds In a Safe Place, but Not a Bank or Anything Formal 8% 8% Coverdell Account 4% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Source: K2C Parent Telephone Survey, N=204 VI. CONCLUSION Practitioners in the field who are interested in creating accounts for children s higher education have a tremendous opportunity. Parents want to save for this important purpose, and there is demand for welldesigned accounts that meet parents needs. This demand is largely unfulfilled in the marketplace. When created with flexible account features and effectively marketed, such accounts are broadly appealing to parents. With this research, we learned that: Parents like flexible account features. Parents like easily digestible materials received through the mail. School staff and administrators are believable messengers. Participation may be effectively boosted by encouraging a sense of urgency to begin saving and by emphasizing that even small deposits will add up over time. Though the K2C program is young, these early phase results are promising and we look forward to additional studies of K2C in the future. We hope this research is useful to practitioners in the field. Most importantly, we believe coming research will bolster the initial evidence that indicates these accounts have the power to improve the lives and futures of children by helping them attend college and access greater financial stability in the years to come EARN P. 9

Russia invading Ukraine; Obama/Biden say 'Let's Move!'
Thousands of Russian troops have reportedly already entered Crimea region of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, at the White House:
Also, shortly after Obama spoke yesterday and told Russia they will pay a price if they send troops into Ukraine ("if"?), Obama declared "happy hour" (I kid you not):
Sleep well, America.
Russian parliament just gave Putin unanimous permission to do what he was already doing anyway.

Eindhoven: Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink celebrated his return from a two-month injury lay-off with his eighth and ninth goals of the season as PSV Eindhoven thrashed NAC Breda 4-0 on Saturday. As former leaders AZ Alkmaar, who occupied first place throughout the winter break, had been held to a one-all draw by NEC Nijmegen on Friday, which ended a 10-match winning run, PSV knew that three points would take them to the top spot. A Rob Penders own goal and a quickly-taken Mark van Bommel free-kick completed the rout as PSV now lead arch-rivals and third-placed Ajax by eight points. The Amsterdammers face a tough trip to fifth-placed F.C. Utrecht on Sunday while fourth-placed Feyenoord entertain Vitesse Arnhem. (AP)

DENVER -- After his record-tying field goal, Sebastian Janikowski of the Oakland Raiders has reached two of his three career goals.
Janikowski hit a 63-yard field goal on the last play of the first half in the Raiders 23-20 Monday night win over the Denver Broncos.
The boot, which tied the NFL record for the longest field goal ever, matched the 63-yarders by Tom Dempsey of the New Orleans Saints in 1970 and Jason Elam of the Broncos in 1998.
Janikowski is a 12-year vet. His previous long had been 61 yards.
"It means a lot," he said. "I'm not big on setting goals, but I want to be 10 years in the league, break or tie the record (for longest FG), and I want to win the Super Bowl. So maybe I should get a third one."
The Raiders were up 13-3 when they got the ball back on an interception at their own 24-yard line with 24 seconds left in the half.
Instead of just running out the clock. Two plays and a 15-yard facemask penalty got them out to the Denver 45 before Janikowski was sent out. They ran right to set up his kick.
"Most teams would be like, 'Man, why are they running the ball in that situation?' " said Raiders QB Jason Campbell.
"But we see that in practice all the time. This guy kicks 65, 70-yard field goals. We knew if we could set him up on the right hash, his preference (Janikowski is left-footed), it gives him the opportunity to kick that field goal. ... We ran the ball because we have trust in him."

The Ultimate Catholic Orthodox Debate
This a wiki with a difference. Unlike a normal wiki where competing interests fight for control of an article, each article here comes in two flavours: a Roman Catholic article and an Orthodox article. Over time, each side of the debate will be continually refining their arguments against the corresponding wiki of their opponent until each wiki presents the most compelling argument on a particular topic for each side that can be made.
There are two main sections. The first section is a time line, and the second section is a topic index. Whereever possible, put a new topic in the time-line so that readers can get an overall sense of how early in the history of the church a particular event took place. Things that should go in the time line are commentaries on the writings of particular church fathers, commentaries on particular councils or events. The second section is the topic section. This is partly to cover topics that aren't associated with a particular chronological event, and partly for people to put together summaries which point to other articles on common themes, or to link together the various articles by a particular ECF to form an argument about what that ECF believed. The Time Line index has a special section at the beginning for scriptural arguments. This section should be ordered according to the traditional book order in the bible. The next section is for arguments about events that happened BC (Before Christ).
Time line articles about ECF quotes should ideally link to an external copy of the entire document. Ideally it should be on a well known site like http://www.ccel.org.
If you are Roman Catholic you should not edit the Orthodox pages. If you are Orthodox do not edit the Roman Catholic pages.
The prefix W- refers to the Western (Roman Catholic) view, and E- refers to the Eastern (Orthodox) view. Timeline article links should be prefaced by the year it occured. (e.g. 1054Schism) Naturally this will sometimes be an estimate.
Make link names without spaces and beautify the links using the wikia syntax.

Everything was flawless from the initial contact to the end of our trip.
The people-to-people interactions we had in Cuba helped to change our perspective not just on Cuba, but on our own lives.
By far the best trip I've ever been on. No exaggeration.
Read more Google reviews
CUBA CANDELA provided travel services for 137 Harvard students and friends visiting Cuba during Harvard's Spring Break in March 2016.
Going to Cuba is an important life experience. Even when the world impact of the internal changes of Cuba will not be as big as those from the USSR, East Germany or China, Cuba's current and possibly future reforms are a live laboratory to prove many theories and hypothesis. Anyone interested in government, business, law, education or any other aspects of civilization should find Cuba's current situation a great place to think about our current state of affairs, where our institutions come from and how important they are. Cuba is also fun, beautiful and exotic. Like all secretive places it is not easy to navigate. CUBA CANDELA proved to be key for the objectives of my trip.
CUBA CANDELA provided the spring break experience of a life-time. While relationships with the US are improving and the country is becoming easier to visit – it is still far from absent of troubles to book and plan individually. CUBA CANDELA abstracted away any of these cumbersome complications and provided such a streamed line and holistic experience of the country, it was a true cultural immersion and a huge amount of fun! Our itinerary covered sights and events in both Havana and Varadero (beautiful beach town). We explored around old Havana, drove in classic cars, visited their cigar factory, toured Ernest Hemingway's property, had lunch at an unbelievable finca and the list goes on. Make sure to try a few (or more) authentic mojitos and soak in some sun, buy a painting or two, and chat with the locals! The last part was fascinating as the locals were very open to talk about anything from personal life to politics and I found them very welcoming to the improving relations between our two countries. This is truly a unique time to visit Cuba and I am incredibly happy to have traveled with CUBA CANDELA."
Wow! Cuba is an amazing country! Beautiful scenery, wonderful & warm people in an energetic and vibrant culture found nowhere else. I want to give a HUGE thank you to Chad & Cuba Candela for making this unique experience possible. I had the trip of a lifetime. I definitely recommend others to book their adventure through Cuba Candela. You will not be disappointed!
Going to Cuba with Cuba Candela was an amazing experience. We drove vintage cars through Havana, danced salsa, and enjoyed a beautiful Caribbean beach. It was everything we could have hoped for and more — truly one of the best Spring Breaks I've ever had.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Cuba, thanks to the work of Chad and the Cuba Candela team. We had a great mix of informative sessions regarding the state of the country and sightseeing at historic locations, with plenty of opportunities to explore the local nightlife mixed in. I considered every minute well worth the time and money invested.
Cuba is a beautifully contradictory country. The Cuba Candela team made sure that we had a comprehensive experience - we attended talks on politics and health, went to the beach, shopped, and saw all the major sights. It's an experience I'll remember forever!
Dear Chad, I am writing to thank you for a wonderful experience in Cuba, thank you for opening my eyes to the Caribbean! I will certainly make multiple voyages back!
My Spring Break trip through Cuba Candela was a great way to see a wide range of aspects of Cuba – from the beaches of Varadero to the bustling streets of old Havana. It was a great opportunity to get a unique view of Cuba today, from learning about how the lifting of the embargo is impacting the economy of Cuba to learning about the history of the revolution and how it led to the current political situation in the nation. This was all balanced with time to experience the day-to-day life of Cuba, from walking along the Malecón (boardwalk) to experiencing local restaurants, bars and clubs. Overall, it was definitely a unique opportunity to see a unique country like no other I've visited.
Outstanding and easy way to access a country previously closed. Good value. An outstanding group of students from other schools to share the experience with.
I had an incredible spring break trip in Havana and Varadero as part of Cuba Candela's inaugural student trip to Cuba. I had a wonderful time and would recommend their service to others looking to visit Cuba and not worry about any legal restrictions or any of the planning. Cuba Candela put together a wonderful itinerary including visiting Old Havana, a Cuban cigar factory, the presidential palace, the home of Ernest Hemingway, farm-to-table meals at local Cuban farms and in the homes of local artists, driving in classic cars, as well as many other great activities. Cuba Candela works with a local tourist agency on the ground and our guide was funny, knowledgeable and a great guide to the city. While in Cuba, be sure to drink many wonderful mojitos and get out at night to the awesome salsa clubs. I found the locals to be very friendly and welcoming and I was happy to visit at such an interesting and important time in US-Cuba relations.
It was incredible to be able to see Cuba while it was still relatively closed off to Americans. I really cherished the opportunity to learn about their economy and culture from the Cuban perspective, and the people were so warm and friendly
I really enjoyed my time in Cuba through Cuba Candela. As the inaugural group to go on this trip, we experienced some challenges and glitches but those were expected due to the size of the group and the first time trip. I loved our guide, through her I became familiar with the nuances of the culture. I also loved the built in free time. The organized activities were nice, especially the visit to the medical clinic and the university, but nothing compared to being able to explore on our own and speak to residents about their lives. People watching there is so much more than observation: Cubans are joyous, full of life and exuberance, so grateful I had the chance to experience Cuba with great friends!
I had a blast during my Spring Break trip to Cuba through Cuba Candela. Cuba is an amazing place and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to beat McDonald's there. It is a timeless beauty and you really feel a sense of old world magic.While I enjoyed the beautiful beaches of Varadero, and the timeless architecture of old Havana, what I loved most about my trip was the opportunity to learn from the locals. Hearing their perspectives and learning from distinguished guest speakers, it was a truly memorable experience and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to experience it with the Cuba Candela team and my HBS classmates.
If you're new at international travel to Cuba, or if you want to find a fun group of people to travel with, Cuba Candela is a great company to make your trip to Havana amazing. Cuba is a beautiful country with extremely kind people—there is so much to see and experience. However, tourism is still developing, so it is a bit difficult to travel to and from Havana without encountering a few missteps, such as delayed flights. This is a normal part of traveling to Cuba. With Cuba Candela, we were able to transform these otherwise unpleasant aspects of the trip into really fun ones. On top of that, we had the opportunity to see and experience everything that Havana and Varadero have to offer without having to worry about planning out each day ourselves—Cuba Candela takes care of any travel and lodging arrangements. Because of this, we didn't need to worry about where we would be going next and instead could really immerse ourselves in the experience. I had an amazing, unforgettable time and made friends that I know I will stay in contact with for the rest of my life. It was great.
Overall, very positive. Everyone was super friendly and Cuba felt extremely safe. Food was only negative point - wasn't that different / interesting. Great group of people. Variety in what we saw / did (historical tours, art museum, history museum, beaches).
Extremely fun engaging experience. Though we had to go on group tour (which I'm not really a fan of when I visit a foreign country) the tours were interesting and engaging, plus we had plenty of free time for us to go explore the city by ourselves so it was great to learn history though a tour and through the locals. Cuban people are really open and easy to talk to.
Cuba Candela was an awesome way to experience a country that is otherwise largely inaccessible. I'm not sure I'd want to travel with such a big group all the time but for Cuba it was great. I wish the schedule hadn't been quite so busy - especially in a hot climate it was punishing at times - but I understand the current embargo rules played a part in this. My tour guide was amazing. Honestly I can't say enough good things about her. Friendly, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, etc. She worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great trip, even going on above and beyond by booking concert tickets and coming out dancing with us.I found Cuba to be beautiful and endlessly fascinating. Our guide would answer one question about Cuban life and I'd immediately think of 10 follow up questions. Such a strange and interesting place. For all their economic hardships, the island was shockingly clean and you can tell people take pride in their neighborhood, appearance, and personal belongings.I was surprised to sense so little resentment toward US citizens. Our tour guide explained that Cubans understand the difference between average citizens and the actions of our government, but I didn't get the impression they feel negatively towards the gov't either (though this could be related to Obama's visit coming right after ours). Contrasted with years of having to pretend you were Canadian when traveling in Europe while Bush was president, this was particularity striking.
Travel to Cuba is difficult to arrange and the trip was generally well coordinated.
Cuba is an amazing, beautiful and welcoming country. The people I was able to chat with were super friendly and helpful, and did not seem like they wanted to take advantage of tourists (we'll see how that changes!). Culture is super interesting and diverse. I would love to learn more about the way Cubans connect (or disconnect) with their African heritage.I liked getting to talk to Cuban people — our tour guides, professors, young people who attended our dinner, people at local bars and clubs. It was cool to get their unique, diverse and authentic perspectives, rather than to hear it second hand from Americans who visited Cuba.
The trip was well-planned with opportunities to engage with many industries (health, education, agriculture). Yet, there remained much autonomy for us to be able to engage with locals more deeply if we choose to. It was really helpful to have friends who spoke Spanish who could help translate our conversations and learn more about the local's experiences in Cuba. Marketing the program in a way that appeals to bilingual students may be more advantageous for Cuba Candela.I was really taken aback by how friendly and welcoming everyone was! On several occasions, a door on a street was open, and when asked where we were from and upon hearing our responses be "USA", the doors opened even wider. We were allowed to step into a few living rooms and people were VERY proud to have us there and be able to share their lives and accomplishments with us. It was truly amazing:)I liked the conversations with our guide the most. She was always able to quickly deconstruct our experiences and debrief much of the context we otherwise wouldn't have known about many of the places we were visiting and seeing—and not to mention, she was able to give us a local's perspective on how these systems impact her and her community!
For me, the highlights of the trip were the salsa lessons on Monday and clubbing in Varadero on Thursday. Salsa dancing is one of the best methods of inducing pure ecstasy on the planet, and I would have been totally okay with mandatory, nightly salsa parties.I had previously taken salsa lessons in California from an instructor who learned from a Cuban instructor who fled after the revolution, and I remember him repeating ad nauseam that salsa is a reflection of Cuba's soul – and it is a happy soul.
I enjoyed the experiences we had lined up-particularly eating at the specific restaurants throughout the week and visiting the farms. Our tour guide, Yani, was excellent. You want her on the next tour! I found the Cuban people to be very welcoming and warm and curious about the US.I enjoyed the ability to ask our taxi driver questions about his impressions of the changes between our countries and what life was like for him. 2/3 people in our taxi spoke Spanish, so we were able to have a rich discussion. The walking tour through Havana was nice, as well.
Cuba is a very interesting place. The people were very welcoming and excited to have us visit. I learned a lot through talking to individuals about their lives. Many people in the tourism industry expressed the fact that they had advanced degrees, but could earn more money through tourism. I had never considered this to be an issue. I actually really did not know too much about Cuba before I went. My history is rather spotty, so visiting contextualized a lot for me and inspired me to want to learn more. The music was wonderful everywhere we went— although our tour guide had to arrange to see the Buena Vista Social Club, which in my opinion should not be missed as this is quintessentially Cuban! Why was this not part of the tour to begin with?!The restaurants and food overall were delicious.I really enjoyed seeing the health clinic as it lent a unique lens into one element of Cuba that is very unique compared to other countries.

North Node in Aries represents your soul mission, according to karmic astrology. Aries symbolically represents the EMOTIONAL RESPONSES, ATTITUDES and ENERGY to adopt and explore throughout your life.
There are THREE STEPS you can use to consciously attract a soulmate. If you want to go deeper, book a private karmic astrology session with me.
The first step in claiming your North Node in Aries soul mission is to embody the highest expression of Libra (opposite to Aries). Libra represents your karmic past. So definitely appreciate — but! Don't make your Libra qualities the centre of your life.
Celebrate your gentle and refined side, and joyfully use your innate skill at negotiation and diplomacy (you do know how to smooth over the rough edges). Enjoy the harmonious environments you create, and the fantastic dinner parties you may like to give.
Study Libra to understand its highest potential, and choose to live that, holding Libra ever so lightly.
This is your first step to consciously attracting your soulmate.
With a North Node in Aries, your karma is around relationships, marriage and business partnerships. Have you created painful situations due to your own indecisiveness, ambivalence or denying you have needs? Have you not asked for what you want because you're fearful of rejection and not being seen as a "good" person? Bingo!
In past lifetimes, you might have been a judge, socialite, interior designer, or someone who lived on the surface of life. Have you created (or have strong feelings about) about superficial, social climbing, phony people where appearances are more important than anything else? There's your clue!
This shadow side of Libra has to do with a fear of independence and of standing alone. It also means not trusting your instincts and being afraid of expressing your independent preferences.
Aries has an unshakable identity, is independent and knows what it wants. It's the confident pioneer who follows her instincts, is unafraid of change and embraces new beginnings. Aries is assertive, active and often takes the initiative. It's the fearless leader.
>No matter how foreign this sounds to you, this is the energy to step into over the course of your lifetime. In past Libran lifetimes, you didn't fully develop a singular identity. You were "other" focused. A North Node in Aries soul mission is about developing that individual identity, a "me" focus.
If you want to know how to attract your soulmate, I'd even say put your needs first. I say this, because your tendency is likely to put others first, or getting into a serious relationship, before figuring out who you are (an early marriage?).
In this lifetime, it is imperative that you know yourself and take a stand. Not only that — you're here to learn how to constructively use and handle anger.
Strive for internal peace, rather than focusing on achieving peace and balance in your relationships. This will actually improve your relationships and bring you enormous fulfillment and satisfaction.
The house where your North Node in Aries soul mission expresses itself, is the area of life where your new Self is being re-invented and re-born.
