Activists give lunch to low-income people in El Cerro: "They have lost what little they had."

The reason is to take advantage of resources to help those who need it most, given that many people have lost what little they had due to the energy crisis.

A group of activists in Cerro, Havana, reported through social media that they would offer lunch to low-income individuals affected by the collapse of the National Electric System (SEN) last Friday.

"Starting today, Monday, until Friday, we will be supporting people with low resources with a lunch, in addition to our 35 elderly people, preferably in the Cerro area from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm," indicated on Facebook the activist Yankiel Fernández, leader of the "Aliento de Vida" project.

The activist expressed that if anyone knows someone close who needs help, they can reach out to them: “At Aliento de Vida, we always know how to lend a hand to those in need,” he stated, highlighting the group's commitment to solidarity and support for the most vulnerable during these difficult 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 can't afford to let it go to waste when there are so many who have lost 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 few food supplies they had in their homes, an event that prompted some individuals to stand out for their solidarity.

The Santiago resident Daniel Nieto Vega, for example, offered his help to the community through a post in the Facebook group "Baireros por el Mundo," showing a gesture of solidarity amid the energy crisis: "My people, anyone who needs to charge a phone or a lamp, my power plant is running at my house."

The renowned private restaurant "Ley Seca" in Old Havana was also the protagonist of a solidarity gesture this Monday by distributing fish, chicken, and meat among the neighbors of the community.
