Centro Félix Varela is a non-profit organization founded in 1993. The mission of CVF is to promote the values of ethics while helping to achieve economic and social development. These goals are achieved through training and publications. The organization’s principles and name stem from Félix Varela. Born in Cuba in 1788, he was ordained a Catholic Priest at Havana Cathedral and then became a staunch advocate for freedom for slaves and from Spanish control. Cuba has created the Orden Félix Varela honoring those who have contributed to the country’s culture.
