A mother proudly revealed that her son, Ián David Lorenzo García, is part of the team representing Cuba at the 65th International Mathematical Olympiad in Bath, United Kingdom, which will take place until July 21.
"Very proud of my son, my brave and persistent warrior, my life!" posted Miryorly García on Facebook, while sharing a photo of the Cuban team, made up of six young people.
"I'm very proud of this amazing team, of all these talented and dedicated young people; they deserve it! Wishing them great success!" remarked the excited mother.
