Cuba's government confirmed Saturday that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter will travel to the island Monday to meet with President Raul Castro, religious leaders and members of the Jewish community.
A press note released Saturday by the Cuban Foreign Ministry said Carter will arrive here Monday morning and meet with Castro Tuesday at the Palace of the Revolution.
On Monday, Carter is expected to visit the the board of the Jewish Community of Cuba and meet with other Cuban religious leaders.
On Tuesday the U.S politician is scheduled to visit the former Convent of Belen, where the local government develops a social aid program involving hundreds of volunteers before meeting with Raul Castro.
On the third and final day of his visit to the island, Carter's agenda includes a press conference at the Convention Palace in Havana.
The Carter Center announced Friday that Carter will discuss with Cuban leaders Cuba-U.S. relations, Cuba's economic reforms and the 6th congress of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) to be held from April 16 to 19.
According to the Carter Center [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the trip will be a "private and non-government mission." This would be Carter's second visit to the island. He last visited Cuba in May 2002, becoming the most important political figure to visit the country since the triumph of the Cuban revolution in 1959.
Some observers here see Carter's visit a chance to appeal for the release of U.S. contractor Alan Gross, sentenced to 15 years in prison in Havana for allegedly helping anti-Castro groups on the island.
However [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], neither the Carter Center nor the Cuban authorities mentioned the case. Gross, a 61-year-old technician working for a company subcontracted by the U.S. State Department, was arrested while distributing satellite communication devices. The Cuban authorities accused him of being a spy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], something denied by Washington.
U.S. authorities maintain that Gross's mission was to provide Internet access to Cuban Jewish groups and said that his imprisonment is a serious obstacle for a rapprochement between the two countries without diplomatic relations for 50 years. But Cuban jewish leaders said Gross never contacted them.
Cuba insists that a rapprochement to Washington requires the lifting of the decades-old embargo and the release of five Cuban agents sentenced to high prison terms in the United States on espionage charges. Cuban authorities consider them political prisoners and give them the treatment of "anti-terrorist heroes." However, the State Department refused months ago a possible exchange between Gross and one of the five Cubans.

World Literature Network invites you to enjoy : the day without you ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’v e the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
see you when you
will want to see you when they hate you and you fight like
Bicker like
wonderful
full day without you
bored tedious days without you feel that everything
lost luster without you
missing vitality and energy
day without you ... ...
I can not go thought
day without you what will become of me I do not know
really do not know
