Mentoring Academy's program to Cuba involved a stop at the Bay of Pigs, a significant part of history between the USA and Cuba. One of our students, Joey, and Mentor, Garret, also took advantage of a scuba dive in the area and Joey captured some great video of the event.

We visited the town of Trinidad and explored a ceramics studio by a local artist. Thanks to our student Tucker for recording the visit.
