Puente and his sons speechless. In addition
to a quiver of beautiful boards and
gear, they carried aspirin, toothpaste,
medical supplies, toothbrushes and toilet
paper. Before leaving the States, they
creatively packed toilet paper around
the surfboard fins for travel.
“So when we unpacked the surfboards
you know what my relatives were
so enthusiastic about? The toilet paper.”
Everyday items that Americans take
for granted are either too expensive or
just aren’t available for sale. In Cuba,
attendants at the entrance to public
restrooms hand out one sheet of toilet
paper to each person.
The Puentes flew back to the States
several pounds lighter but with a sense
of good will.
“You feel like you have no choice but
to share as much as you have,” he said.
“When it’s all said and done, we have
so much more that’s extra, especially
in our society. It’s beyond what we can
imagine.”
Puente acknowledges it seems easy to
give when you’ve got so much, and yet
he is compelled to give back, not only
because he has so much, but because he
once had so little.
