Dissident pushes for change in Cuba, one ladle at a time

Jose Daniel Ferrer stepped onto his front porch in Santiago de Cuba on a recent morning, shaking hands and asking after people's health as he greeted a small crowd of the ailing and elderly gathered at his doorstep.

Inside, he, his wife Nelva Ismarays Ortega, and a staff of around a dozen dispensed steaming rations of boiled potato, yucca, pumpkin, chicken, rice and spaghetti cooked in steel cauldrons over an open fire on their back patio.

But Ferrer's is no ordinary soup kitchen.
