History

[edit | edit source]

CubaOne Foundation was launched in 2016.[3] It is modeled loosely after Birthright Israel, the Jewish organization that offers young Jews free trips to Israel. The organization was founded by four Cuban Americans from Florida: Daniel Jimenez, Giancarlo Sopo, Cherie Cancio, and Andrew Jimenez.[4][5]

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Since its launch, CubaOne Foundation has received mainly favorable press coverage. It was called "a groundbreaking organization" by Vivala[9] and "a wonderful initiative" [10] by NBC Miami. An opinion editorial in The New York Times said that the program is an idea that Cuban American politicians "should ponder."[8]
