A group of activists in Cerro, Havana, announced via social media that they would be providing lunch for low-income individuals affected by the collapse of the National Electric System (SEN) last Friday.
"Starting today, Monday, until Friday, we will be providing lunch to low-income individuals, in addition to our 35 elderly residents, preferably in the Cerro area, from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM," indicated the activist Yankiel Fernández, leader of the project "Aliento de Vida," on Facebook.
The activist stated that if anyone knows someone in need of assistance, they can reach out to them: "At Aliento de Vida, we always know how to lend a hand to those in need," he asserted, highlighting the group's commitment to solidarity and support for the most vulnerable during these challenging times.
Regarding the reasons for this initiative, Rodríguez stated: "It's not that we have a lot, but the little we do have, we don't want and cannot afford to let it go to waste when so many have lost even the little they had."
In her post, she shared a beautiful message: “Without power and without water, no one can take away our solidarity, empathy, and love.”
The collapse of the SEN caused thousands of people to lose the little food they had in their homes, prompting some individuals to stand out for their solidarity.
Santiaguero Daniel Nieto Vega, for instance, offered his help to the community through a post in the Facebook group “Baireros por el Mundo,” demonstrating a gesture of solidarity amid the energy crisis: “My people, anyone who needs to charge a phone or a lamp, the generator is running at my house.”
The renowned private restaurant "Ley Seca" in Old Havana also played a role in a gesture of solidarity this Monday by distributing fish, chicken, and meat among local residents.
