A Cuban activist distributes ham and cheese sandwiches to elderly people with low incomes in Havana.

A Cuban activist distributed ham and cheese sandwiches to elderly people with low incomes in Havana on Saturday night, with the goal of improving the nutrition of this vulnerable group.

Yankiel Fernández, coordinator of the Humanitarian Project Aliento de Vida, explained on Facebook this Saturday that he decided to distribute ham and cheese sandwiches to the elderly because he considers it insufficient to only provide them with lunch twice a week and to reinforce nutrition on Fridays. "There is always much more left for us to do," he stated.

The activist pointed out that he could not remain "with arms crossed" because he believes that there is a "need" and too many vulnerable and needy people as a result of the inaction of the Cuban regime.

"Thanks to those who help us so we can continue helping. Thanks to God for touching hearts and sending us angels," he pointed out in his post.

In the shared photo gallery, it can be seen that at least twenty elderly individuals were benefited. It is also evident that they are people with low economic resources.

Recently, the activist himself launched a petition for help for children living in extreme poverty in villages in the Sierra Maestra and other remote areas of the province of Santiago de Cuba.

Fernández made a call on social media to all individuals who can collaborate with donations for children and other residents in those communities that lack the most basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and medicine.

In the midst of the economic crisis and extreme scarcity, as well as the inaction of the Cuban regime, many people are left vulnerable and helpless. This situation has sparked the solidarity of several activists.

In January, the young Cuban Massiel Carrasquero Ramos distributed "caldosa," along with friends, to vulnerable people in Havana.

From her Facebook profile, where she identifies herself as Massy Carram, this young woman announced that she wanted to make a hearty soup to go out and distribute. "People don't just eat on 12/31," she said.
