Santa Clara, October 3 (RHC-Granma)-- Thousands of students from the Cuban province of Villa Clara will carry out this Thursday the traditional walk along Che's route in honor of Ernesto Guevara, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his death in combat.

The tour will begin at the Marta Abreu Central University of Santa Clara and culminate at the Sandino Recreational Cultural Complex in the provincial capital.

“Che's Route” (“Por la ruta del Che”) is just one of many activities to be held in the province of Villa Clara, which has the honor of guarding the remains of the Heroic Guerrilla and his fellow combatants, to mark the 50th anniversary of his death. Voluntary work tasks will also be undertaken in workplaces and institutions, as part of the recovery efforts of the province following the devastation left by Hurricane Irma.

A postage stamp commemorating the 20th anniversary of the arrival of the remains of Che and his comrades in arms to the city of Santa Clara will also be issued, while 50 students of the Ernesto Che Guevara semi-boarding school will be recognized as Pioneers, in the act that will take place on the morning of October 8th in Santa Clara.
