Support Cuban bloggers

Translating Cuba bloggers

Since Yoani Sanchez launched her blog Generaion Y in April, 2007, the Cuban blogosphere has grown to represent a variety of points of view and voices and played an increasingly important role in public discussion. One can discover blogs in collections like the state-run Reflejos blogging platform, the English language Translating Cuba site, Desde Cuba or elsewhere.

Internet access is extremely expensive for bloggers in Cuba.

While Cuban connectivity prices are among the highest in the world, those of us living outside of Cuba can afford to support bloggers we like and at least two companies, Ding.com and Fonoma.com allow us to donate Internet-access minutes to Cubans.

If you like what a Cuban blogger is saying, "top up" his or her Internet account.
