We want to do everything in our hands to help those in need. The recovery will be tough and we want to be there to support the people,\u201d said founder and CEO of Tour Republic, Enmanuel Tirado.<\/p>\n<p>The amount collected will be given to the Catholic Church in Cuba to acquire and distribute the necessary resources at their discretion.<\/p>\n<p>Tirado worked as a small business management professor training dozens of local entrepreneurs in classes organized by the Catholic Church, and trusts this is the ideal way to get the help through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are coordinating efforts with the Church to find the best way to deliver Tour Republic\u2019s donation directly to those affected. We know that they will be entirely dedicated to help during the recovery of the most affected communities,\u201d Tirado said.<\/p>\n<p>The profit of the Cuban guides registered in the digital platform will not be affected in any way.
