Los Arabos Research Paper

575 Words3 Pages

This summer I went on a mission trip with my church to Cuba for one week. We visited our companion church which is located in Los Arabos, It is four hours away from Havana. While we are in Los Arabos the people of the community were nice enough to let us live in their homes for a week. This was my second year going and it was a lot of fun helping the people and giving back to the community. Los Arabos is the complete opposite of Havana, its more farm land and open greenery while Havana is more touristy. Having been to Cuba both before the embargo act and after, I could really see a difference. For one, there was a lot more technology this year then there was last year. Some of the kids from Los Arabos had tablets and smart phones. There was even a cell tower that had been built recently in the city. As fas as …show more content…

One of the main ones is the fact that a lot of these people dont have clean water to drink. Through out the country there are " Living Waters" center where they have water filters that clean the water for the people and make it save for them to drink. Before our mission trip the water filter in Los Arabos unfortunatly broke. Even thought the pump was producing bad water the people still drank it because it was the only water they had. When we arrived to Los Arabos the first thing we did was help them fix the filter. The shaperones on our trip were trained by the Living Waters center to help fix the filters if anything like this were to happen. The water pumps were filled with magnesium and we litterally had to shovle it out. Once word got out around the community that we had fixed the filters and cleaned the pumps there was a giant mob of people surround the church. They all look happy and were thankful that we fixed it for them. Something as simple as water can make a huge diffence. In America we take water for granite and waste

  • Kenneth Pollak Understanding The Arab Awakening

    Kenneth M. Pollak expresses several reasons which explain the emergence of the uprisings in Understanding the Arab Awakening. Pollak begins by explaining that the main reasons behind the Arab uprisings are the frustrations the people were living initially due to a stagnant economy that underwent no change since its beginning. While other economies were evolving and developing, Arab communities were lagged behind. Pollak continues to claim that another factor that contributed to the lack of development lied in the also stagnant educational system in the Arab countries. The lack of development of any kind of critical thought led Arab countries to remain in the mindset of accepting and internalizing any repressive regime that imposed upon them.

    The bible is a book filled with narratives that form principles that are still used in stories today. This particular artifact tells the biblical story of Moses and how he frees his people, the Israelites, from slavery. The narrative does hold historical significance, especially to Abrahamic religions, due to its outcome being the basis for which the ten commandments are created. For those who are unfamiliar, the ten commandments are the building blocks for which societies morals and ethics are based upon (not lying, not stealing etc). My research question that I am hoping answer is: What exactly can this narrative’s themes teach its audience about Abrahamic religions.

  • Essay On Cuban Embargo

    It has been over 50 years since the Cuban Embargo has been placed. Within that time the United States have gained nothing from it; which means change has to happen. Obama’s presidency has already made big changes within the act, such as improving human rights, U.S. economy, and many restrictions that were imposed have been lifted already; such as trade and financial restrictions. Furthermore, the United States has been lifting the Embargo Act slowly but surely resulting in prosperity and by doing so, it is only smart to continue if the results are positive. After the Cuban Embargo was placed, the United States goal was to repress Cuba in hopes for them to have a democracy government.

  • Ahmed Rafaat Ami's Arguement In The Arab Revolution

    407 Words  | 2 Pages

    “I was willing to pay whatever price our freedom costs”, says 22-year-old Egyptian protester, Ahmed Rafaat Amin. This seemed to be a very popular sentiment for many participants in the Arab revolution from December 2010 up to mid-2012, initially, or, as others would argue, as far as present day. The Arab world has been frustrated with the status quo, the misuse of power, and the lack of organization of their individual governments for a number of years now. The afflicted people finally lashed out when they were provoked by the unjustified treatment towards Tunisian worker, Mohamed Bouazizi by a police official that lead to his death on December 17th, 2010 (The Globalist, 2). The activist’s intentions were to achieve a better future for their
