Author fasting visited Cuba and came to the conclusion that if he had a choice, he would have spent his childhood there. What is it, childhood in Cuba? If you could choose where to spend my childhood, I have no hesitation would choose Cuba. Judge for yourself - the country occupies a leading position in Latin America in terms of Human Development, the literacy rate is among the highest in the world (99, 8%), high quality free medical care and universal access to higher education. And the sun, the ocean, the beaches, etc. Well, if not heaven on earth !?

Cuban children are without a doubt one of the happiest children in the world, because they live in a state that from an early age taking care of them. From birth to 6 years, they are entitled to free milk. However, there are faults with it, but you drink it every day and you will not, so sometimes it is possible to suffer a week or two.

Products are mere pennies. Let the choices of the Cuban small stores - almost never candy and soda only currency, but after all it is harmful to health. But almost always have bread, eggs and fruit! Of course, some items have to be purchased on the cards, but it's the little things, too.

Health Cuba was recognized as the best in the world (and this is no joke, but a formal decision by the World Health Organization in 2012). Of course, to get to the doctor, I have to take their turn before dawn. But in the morning is not hot, and to hurry up so early.

Education in Cuba is free too. In addition, school supplies and children as a form provided by the state. Children from disadvantaged and single-parent families receive financial assistance to ensure a level playing field with their peers from more affluent Cuban families.

The system of education from an early age instills a love of country and the government. Already in kindergarten students get acquainted with the glorious history of the Cuban Revolution, exploring the national anthem of Cuba and attend classes in the discipline.

The primary and basic school children are proud to wear the uniform with a red tie and prepare for adult life.

After all, without exception, have the opportunity to continue their studies in higher education or go to college to become a professional in his field.

After school, the children enjoy visiting clubs and sports clubs. Especially popular among boys enjoyed boxing and baseball.

And for girls - volleyball and athletics. In many areas of Havana can meet public children's playgrounds, furnished caring hands of those who sincerely wants to make Cuban childhood happy and full.

But childhood has come to an end. In adult life, the way of yesterday's teenagers disperse. Some people have more luck - they will serve the tourists to take them by taxi, offer them girls and cigar room to pass and earn 200, 300 and even $ 500 a month.

Those who are not lucky, have nothing to do in public institutions for 30-50 dollars a month. Most doctors will be unlucky, and for the same money they would have to work without a chance to travel outside of their country.

In the meantime, they are children who do not know the social networks, McDonald's, trendy gadgets and just enjoy life on his small island paradise - live chatting with friends, yard fun, swimming in the ocean, first love, and other simple but sincere joy that once filled and my Soviet childhood.
