Cuba is Funded

You know what’s awesome? Kickstarter.

You know what’s even more awesome? Everyone who pitches in for my travel expenses on Kickstarter.

I’ve raised the money I need for Cuba, so it looks like I’m going. Most likely in November when it’s slightly less hot and I’ll be more prepared. Working there will be challenging and I need to work out some things in advance.

Thanks so much to everyone who is backing this project. I’m going to send personal thank-you notes, but I want to wait until the fundraising period is finished and do it all at once if that’s okay with everybody.

I could always use more revenue (can’t we all?), so there’s no reason the funding can’t continue just because I’ve reached my minimum goal. The minimum goal is just that: a minimum. If I can raise enough extra money, I’m thinking of going to Miami after Havana and interviewing some Cubans who recently fled. No doubt they’ll be able to speak with me more freely than those who are still on the island.
