With commemorations, commitments and concrete actions in favor of the communities, the day of August 13 takes place in Villa Clara, in commemoration of the 99th anniversary of the birth of the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz.
Workers and young Villaclareños joined in a tribute full of symbolism, summoned to the Provincial Blood Bank to make a voluntary donation.
Víctor Daniel González Núñez, a medical student, said that this gesture is loaded with the incredible human sensitivity that the commander bequeathed. “It represents the ability of youth to contribute its grain of sand, from this trench so important that it is to save lives.”
This initiative seeks to honor the legacy of the revolutionary leader, born on August 13, 1926, through actions that benefit the community and strengthen the Cuban public health system. Blood donation, an act of love and altruism, becomes a significant tribute to the commander in chief on this special day.
