The young woman from Santiago, Dayma Fajardo, gained admiration on social media after announcing on Monday that she had found a cell phone in a hospital and was looking for its owner.

"This morning (Monday), I found this Samsung A32 phone at the La Colonia children's hospital," the young woman noted in the Facebook group "AMAZON Santiago de Cuba.com," stating that she will only return the device to its owner.

In just a few hours, the post received numerous comments, mostly highlighting the young woman's kind gesture, which stands in stark contrast to the violent reality in the country, where a person can be injured over the theft of a phone.

Ángel Alfredo Rodríguez Freiría said, "What planet are you from? There are few people like you left."

A person by the name of Arelis Torres Torres remarked, “You are one of the few good people left in this province. May God bless you and your family forever.”

"Blessings to this wonderful person, who has been well-educated and has a kind heart. These are values that are instilled within the family," emphasized Mayra Pérez.

Yannelis Martínez Yero noted, "Good attitude, that speaks to the kind of person you are. I hope the owner sees this post or someone who knows them so they can stop being scared, because a phone today is expensive and some people acquire it with great sacrifice."

Despite the growing violence in Cuba, a problem acknowledged even by the regime, there are still individuals whose kindness stands out.

A young Cuban found a teacher's lost cell phone and promptly reached out to its owner to return it.

The incident occurred on Wednesday in Ciego de Ávila and was recounted on Facebook by Wilfredo Osuna Rodríguez, the director of the educational center where the fortunate teacher works.
