Life itself is an underserved gift; a sacred gift to honor, not only in ourselves but also in others.

Once we realize this, it takes us from thinking of ourselves as individuals separated from one another to realizing we are connected to the whole of humanity.  When we do good, we reach humanity. And when we do good together we can overwhelm the world with good. We can overwhelm Cuba with good. 

This good was at work a few days ago when Gustabo knocked at Sadiel and Zady’s house. Gustabo is a pretty good handyman (In the photo below he is repairing a rice cooker). He is deaf and has trouble finding work. He had not eaten for a day or so when he knocked, hungry, at their door. She was making soup for her and Sadiel, but it stretched for Gustabo as well (pictured below with Zady).

Connected to the people in their town, Sadiel and Zady reach out to the destitute, the ill, the orphans, and those who are hungry. And people in the community know that when they go to them, they will be heard, cared for and loved. Aliento Cuba partners with Sadiel and Zady in their ministry.
