The delegation will remain in Santiago de Cuba until August 6 and will be responsible for repairing and painting educational centers in the eastern province, thus contributing to the maintenance of infrastructure affected by the limitations imposed by the United States’ economic, commercial, and financial blockade against the island, Cubainformación reported.
He also indicated that the group is transporting 66 packages of medical, school, and sports equipment, in addition to their personal belongings, donated by charitable organizations and individuals.
“These supplies seek to alleviate the shortages generated by the unjust U.S. blockade, which for more than six decades has hindered Cuba’s access to essential resources and has been reinforced with 250 new sanctions in the last seven years,” the source said.
Before their departure, members of the brigade emphasized the humanitarian and solidarity nature of the project and reiterated their commitment to Cuban sovereignty and resistance. “Our work is a grain of sand in the face of the hostility of the blockade, but above all, it is a message that Cuba is not alone,” they noted.
