“Somos La Tierra”: Ananda Marga Community Center, Havana, Cuba “Do all the good you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji Cuban society is undergoing an important political transition. Some of the consequences of this transition are economic inequality, ideological crisis, and emerging materialistic way of living. The economic instability and lack of knowledge about the dynamics of capitalism, puts the Cuban people at risk of being exploited.

HISTORY AMURT/EL became active in Venezuela in December 1999 after heavy rains caused landslides and floods. With the help of AMURT Switzerland, it started to work with the flood victims of Barlovento, a region in the state of Miranda about 2 hours east of Caracas, distributing drinking water, food and medicines. Observing the chronic poverty of the people in this area, AMURT/EL decided to open with a long-term project. It acquired three and a half (3 ½) hectares of land and built a community center from which to serve the impoverished rural villagers in the surrounding area.
