The educators arrived here 24 hours after the return
of a first group of teachers from the Central American nation, said
the director of foreign relations with the Education Ministry
Victoria Arencibia Sosa, who pointed out that education authorities
in Cuba maintained permanent communication with the workers even in
the country´s most difficult moments.
Ramon Lamoru, member of the group said that what
happened is a mere break for their noble struggle against
illiteracy, while Ariel Diaz, sports collaborator, explained about
the tense situation they experienced during their withdrawal, with
some of their comrades stopped at different border crossings.
The welcoming ceremony for the educators was attended
by deputy minister of Education Rolando Forneiro and deputy Foreign
Trade and Investment minister Orlando Requeijo Gual, as well as by
the first vice president of the Cuban Sports Institute, Roberto Leon
Richard.
