ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Primarily, we would like to thank Centro Martin Luther King for working hand in hand with Gisela. Without the partnership that you had with Gisela the visits that we got to enjoy and the transport that was provided for Sandor and Polo would not have been possible. We would like to express our gratitude to Sandor and Polo for the time that they took to translate as well as dealing with technical difficulties that were given and also taking the time to make this experience more enjoyable. We would like to also thank the effort that was made to pre-record some content and then share it in class. Those contexts, videos or just nice images were really appreciated. We would like to give our special appreciation to Gisela. For being an amazing coordinator and also making the creation of the field experience in a developing country possible, in such a short lapse of time. We would like to thank you for all the support that you have given us through our experience in this course as well as always bringing your smile and sharing encouraging words to uplift our moods in such times. We would like to thank you for your dedication to make our success possible. We will always be grateful that you created a safe space to feel comfortable enough to share our thoughts even if Spanish is not our first language.
We would also like to thank each speaker for sharing so much knowledge in such a short amount of time. It was really appreciated to learn about different topics and see the expertise of each one of them on their topics: Joel Ruiz Suarez Victor Rodriguez Rene Gonzalez Yohana Lezcano Lavandera & Naila Torres Loyet Garcia Doctora Barbara Romero Aniete Venereo Perez Castro Samuel Furé Davis
The Virtual Field Trip to Cuba was made possible thanks to the support of funds provided from Dawson College’s Student Success Action Plan, to the Peace Centre and to individual donations provided via the Dawson Foundation. 13
