Fundación Amistad’s founder, Luly Duke, and Board member Stephen Johnson were privileged to be in Cuba at the time of President Obama’s visit and attend a number of the events with his delegation during the President’s three days in Havana. Fellow Board member Michael Parmly, former Chief of Mission of the US Interests Section in Havana, closely watched the proceedings from his home in Geneva. Fundación Amistad has been working for nearly two decades on cultural and people-to-people exchanges in Cuba, and in humanitarian efforts that mirror the President’s focus on improving and empowering the lives of the Cuban people.
