Dressed in his inseparable olive green uniform, Garcia Frias, who is also a Hero of the Republic of Cuba and one of Che’s companions in the guerrilla at the Sierra Maestra Mountains, considered an honor to be able to visit the hamlet where health services in charge of Cuban voluntary workers are top quality, the Prensa Latina news agency reports.

In a doctor’s office, he spoke at length with physicians Luisa Martha Hernandez and German Martinez, and urged them to follow the example of the Heroic Guerrilla, to whom he paid tribute at the spot that recalls the heroic deed of Ñacahuasu.

Accompanied by Rafael Dausa, Cuba’s ambassador to Bolivia, and visibly moved, Garcia Frias entered the museum in which the small school where Che Guevara was assassinated was turned into, on the walls of which several inscriptions can be read, like “You’ll live forever Commander, friend.”

He also spoke with Bolivian children studying in primary schools in neighboring areas and urged them to be good professionals to build the new Bolivia.

The Commander of the Revolution, who toured the Mausoleum to he Guevara in Vallegrande on Tuesday –where his mortal remains where found in 1997-, headed the delegation that presented in La Paz the book The Strategic Victory, by Commander in Chief Fidel Castro, a ceremony attended by President Evo Morales.

Garcia Frias will return to Havana on Thursday.
