A theft that occurred in Santiago de Cuba left the private nursery Sonrisas without resources, impacting both its founder and several children who depended on that childcare space.
The incident was reported on Facebook by writer and activist Yasser Sosa Tamayo, who recounted that the establishment was looted during the night, and the perpetrators took practically everything that was inside.
According to the explanation, the thieves took away equipment, educational materials, hygiene items, and the money stored in the safe, leaving the site completely empty after forcing doors, bars, and locks.
The incident occurred in a context characterized by frequent power outages, which, according to Sosa himself, facilitated the theft under the cover of darkness, in a scenario he described as increasingly common.
The entrepreneur Mary Borges also spoke out on about what occurred and detailed that among the stolen items were refrigerators, televisions, study materials, and products intended for children's care.
“Stealing at Sonrisas is like desecrating a temple,” Borges expressed, a metaphor that undoubtedly illustrates the magnitude of the event.
The entrepreneur emphasized that the impact is not only material but also emotional, as it is a project built with effort by a mother providing a necessary service during the crisis.
Following the incident, calls for solidarity have multiplied to help reclaim the space.
Several people have requested support with donations of supplies, materials, or financial resources to facilitate the reopening of the daycare.
For her part, Isa Berenguer, the creator of the project, expressed her gratitude on Facebook for the support received and assured that she will not give up despite what happened.
In a subsequent post, he confirmed that the center has reopened its doors despite the losses, highlighting that, although many resources are lacking, the support received has been crucial for continuing.
The case reflects the difficulties faced by entrepreneurship in Cuba, where insecurity and the economic crisis directly impact private initiatives aimed at meeting the basic needs of the population.
On the other hand, it also highlights the insecurity that the population suffers, both in their homes and in the ventures that they manage to establish with great effort.
A few days ago, a violent assault was reported near the Tropicana cabaret in Santiago de Cuba, where several individuals broke into food and beverage warehouses and managed to steal a significant amount of products.
According to a report by social communicator Yosmany Mayeta Labrada on Facebook, those involved acted in an organized and swift manner, leaving two storage areas within the facility almost completely empty.
