The Annual Report of the José Martí Cultural Society in Guantanamo took place in the presence of about 50 members in the headquarters of the Cuban Writers and Artists Association, in which the work objectives and agreements not met between the years 2021 and 2023, with the subsequent proposal of solutions were analyzed.
This process was preceded by a visit to a neighborhood in the Caribe community in this city, by the highest representatives of the Cultural Society in Cuba, present in the territory, along with other local leaders and members of Marti clubs in schools and surrounding entities.
At the site, they exchanged about the educational work of these people for the new generations, as well as those in vulnerable situations, the study of the work of Fidel Castro as the best of Martí’s disciples and the strengthening of the “El Amigo sincero” Club of the Cuban Friendship Institute in this province.
At the headquarters of the Cuban Writers and Artists Association, Víctor Hernández Torres, first vice president of the Cultural Society, said that a strength of the organization is its alliances of political, ideological and artistic work with several entities of Guantanamo society in the face of barbarism countercultural and anti-ethical capitalist, a will that is equally important, as strengthening our agricultural systems.
The highly awarded architect Zulma Ojeda Suárez was concerned about the visible deterioration in the “25 de Abril” Marti Forest, adjacent to the University of Guantanamo, a long-standing desire for renovation of an identity area that does not have the resources to a better splendor; however, this reality is not the same in other forests and gardens with a similar purpose, but much more encouraging.
At the event, the members recognized the communication work integrated with the Provincial Cultural Sector and the local radio system, for greater dissemination of José Martí´s life, work and validity, in addition, the extension projects of the educational sector were recognized, with positive impact in the transformation of vulnerable communities.
