Guantánamo.- The “Diómedes Silveira Valdés” House of Culture in the municipality of El Salvador became the setting for an emotional political and cultural event dedicated to honoring young people preparing to begin Active Military Service, as well as five young women who have voluntarily chosen to join the Women’s Voluntary Military Service.
The ceremony, attended by government representatives, community members, and family members, paid tribute to the commitment and sense of responsibility demonstrated by these young people as they begin a new stage of training, discipline, and personal development.
Among those recognized were the five young women who, breaking traditional stereotypes, decided to join the Women’s Voluntary Military Service. One of them, Neilan Claudia Chivas Planche, shared her perspective with the media.
“For me, this is a source of pride and commitment,” said the young woman, who hopes to pursue a career in journalism.
She explained that the experience will provide valuable lessons for both her personal growth and future professional path.
“I will become a journalist in the future, and I am certain that what I learn here—through military life—will give me a perspective and discipline that will be extremely valuable in my career,” she stated.
The event represented more than a farewell ceremony; it was a celebration of hope, commitment, and the future. The stage of the House of Culture reflected a mixture of emotions: the pride of families watching their loved ones take this step, the sadness of separation, and the confidence that new generations are prepared to continue contributing to the country’s development.
