Thank you for visiting the Cuba site of It's Just The Kids, Inc.

IJTK has been building playgrounds in Cuba since 2003, although the idea of the project was conceived almost 7 years ago. We invite you to use the menu links above to find out more about our organization, and why we build playgrounds in Cuba. Please also visit our Previous Projects section for photos, movies, articles and volunteer testimonials concerning our recent project in September 2005 and our flagship project in May 2003.

On April 3, 2006, we received a fax from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) stating that the terms of our original travel license would be amended. Our original travel license enabled us to take up to 25 volunteers (per playground site) to install playground equipment and it expired on April 30, 2007 . The original license also permitted us to stay in Cuba for up to two weeks (our previous projects have taken approximately one week to complete). The amendment we received stated that we can now only bring 3 volunteers per playground site, the project must be completed within 4 days and the term of our license was shortened to expire on April 30, 2006 , which has now passed. These new terms prevent us from moving forward with the scheduled playground project in June. However, we are taking several measures to get the terms of our original license reinstated. READ MORE > >
