These stories about Cuban refugees, living in Missouri, are very interesting. One was a high school teacher in Cuba, now works in a factory but is still happy to be here with his family. Another family tells of forced labor and other hardships in Cuba. - - Donna Poisl

COLUMBIA — Eddy Del Sol, a 27-year-old Cuban refugee, came to the United States with his parents and younger sister in November 2007.
Del Sol works at the American Air Filter International parts factory in Columbia, making air conditioning filter components.
In Cuba, he was a high school chemistry teacher.
Still, he is grateful to be part of Columbia’s small but steadily growing Cuban community. "I have things that I never thought about having in Cuba," Del Sol said. "And I’ve only been here one year.”
Be sure to read the rest of this story! This is only a small part of it.
