"In a textbook example of country-to-country
sponsorship, Mexico succeeds in getting Cuba's first group going in
February 1993: Grupo Sueño (Dream Group), in Havana. The year before,
Cubans Ciro V. and Juan A. had asked government officials for permission
to provide information about A.A. - in their words, "a program without
nationalities, a political agenda, or financial interests" - but without
success. Once A.A Mexico informs the Cuban government of the
particulars of A.A.'s program of recovery, the government changes its
mind and welcomes the Fellowship. By the end of 2004, some 200 groups
will have become active in Cuba."
