A group of Cuban activists arrived in the rural area of Santiago de Cuba province to deliver clothing, food, disposable diapers, and medicine to people living in extreme poverty.
Yankiel Fernández, coordinator of the Aliento de Vida Humanitarian Project, showed on Facebook the moment when people living in villages in the Sierra Maestra and other remote areas of the province of Santiago de Cuba benefit from donations.
"Thanks to that wonderful team who, since they learned about our work, have not stopped sending weekly aid, mainly clothing, but many other donations are on the way," the activist pointed out.
Last June, Fernandez made a call on social media to collect donations intended for children and other residents of those communities, who lack the most essential things, such as food, clothing, and medicines.
"To those who inquire in Santiago de Cuba, in the hills, in the mountains, where many do not want to go, there is a representation of Aliento de Vida. Our brother Ander is delivering the donations from many of you," said the activist, suggesting that many of these rural communities face the inaction and abandonment of the regime.
Fernández thanked the wonderful team that, since he learned about their work, has not stopped sending weekly aid, and expressed his gratitude to those who, despite the difficulties, continue to support them in expanding the reach of the Aliento de Vida Humanitarian Project.
Recently, the members of this initiative distributed ham and cheese sandwiches to low-income elderly people in Havana, with the aim of improving the nutrition of this vulnerable group neglected by the regime.
Fernández explained on Facebook that they distributed ham and cheese sandwiches to the elderly because he considers it insufficient to give them lunch only twice a week and reinforce their nutrition on Fridays. "There is always much more to be done," he stated.
The activist also recently requested help for a little baby girl who is less than two months old and is currently admitted at the Hijas de Galicia Maternal and Child Hospital in Havana, because she only weighs 2,250 grams.
He pointed out on Facebook that little Hanna needed formula milk to gain weight and be able to be discharged.
