Felix Varela
Sometimes they say you must bloom wherever you are planted. That was the case with Félix Varela, a young Cuban man who always wanted to be a priest and always wanted to be with his people. He was a priest, a journalist, a writer, and educator. Exiled in New York for his work in favor of the independence of Cuba, he developed an intense activity writing and opening schools, and always defending the freedom and independence of his country.
