Dear Cuba-Junky
We went to visit this home on April 1st. We were the first foreign visitors these children had ever met.
It is a small home with 8 children, 5 boys and 3 girls. There are 8 social workers.
The home in Cardenas shares their food, clothing, medicine with this orphanage with a real spirit
of co-operation. The children were a little shy to start but began to smile and laugh when the camera
was taking pictures.
The name and address is:
Hogar Por Ninos Sin Amparo y Filial
(Home for Children Without Parents and Family)
Mario Munoz #260
% Marta Abreu y Glotilde Garcia
Colon, Matanzas
Cuba
Telephone 31-2619
This is an orphanage in a relatively remote area about one hour from Varadero. The city of Colon is
an agricultural community but has some excellent Spanish colonial architecture. It is unlikely
that foreigners will visit Colon but there is always a chance somebody will want to go on an
adventure.
