Cuba's Muraleando, an Arts Center regenerating a community

 I had the opportunity to go to Cuba recently.  It was actually on a Caribbean Holland America trip with a two day layover in the Havana Harbor.  On our Taste of Cuba excursion we had an opportunity to visit an area of the city that had been repurposed from a very rundown space to an art center.  The center provides classes for creating art, music, dance and theatre for the region.  Many of the outdoor sculptures surrounding the center were constructed from recycled materials.
