South American Solidarity Brigade will celebrate its 30th anniversary in Cuba

Havana, Jan 20 (RHC) Representatives from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay, comprising the South American Solidarity Brigade, will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the contingent with a unique event in Cuba.

The event will include participation in the March of the Torches and the 6th International Conference for the Balance of the World.

The reception for the activists will be held at the José Martí Memorial in the Plaza de la Revolución on January 21st. The event will include volunteer work days, a discussion about the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by countries, and visits to the Fidel Castro Center, Havana, Villa Clara, and Sancti Spíiritus.

The brigadistas will firsthand experience the Cuban reality through their interactions with combatants, farmers, young people, and workers. They will also  donate medical supplies at the Diez de Octubre Clinical Surgical Hospital.

The team will be based at the Julio Antonio Mella International Camp in Caimito, where they will assist in the restoration of ships and green spaces that were severely affected by Hurricane Rafael in November.

Moreover, they will participate in conferences on Cuba's 60-year-long economic blockade and cultural warfare, as well as the U.S. political subversion against the island.

This year, the South American solidarity brigade is the third to arrive in the country, following those from Australia and New Zealand, and Central America.

They join the Marathon of Love for Cuba, a global campaign organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Continental Solidarity Network. This project will continue until December 30, 2025, marking the 65th anniversary of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples. (Source: ACN)
