00:00Hurricane Melissa hit Eastern Cuba, solidarity flooded the Caribbean island.
00:04A campaign promoted by youth organizations has mobilized hundreds of people
00:08who are not only donating material goods, but also messages of hope
00:12from several broader nations. Our colleague Isabel Diaz gives up the details.
00:19This is how the day begins in several institutions
00:22and centers in Havana, where teenagers and university students organize donations
00:26for those affected by Hurricane Melissa after it struck the east of the country.
00:30We, as young people, are joining the effort to collect donations
00:35to help those vulnerable provinces in the east of the country
00:38that are facing a difficult situation after the ciclone passed through.
00:46In this solidarity campaign, culture embraces difficult times,
00:51where the artistic vanguard joins these initiatives of the Cuban people.
00:54We are already working, as we did last time, and as we will always do,
01:03to collect donations of anything that may be useful to our brothers in the east,
01:06which could be anything.
01:07We are also holding concerts dedicated to them, and many friends have joined us,
01:13with others constantly calling us to say, they also want to be part of these initiatives
01:17being carried out by the association that always wants to belong,
01:20in the most useful way possible, to all these processes.
01:27These gestures of support are in addition to donations from other places,
01:32with essential resources that have begun to arrive from neighboring countries,
01:35such as Venezuela.
01:41Venezuela comes with a message of solidarity, support,
01:44and more than solidarity and support, to get involved in what has to do with the well-being
01:47of the Cuban people, who are today affected by a natural disaster.
01:58We have also conveyed to the Cuban government, on behalf of President Maduro,
02:02to the President of Cuba, and Army General Raul Castro,
02:04we have conveyed a message of solidarity, and congratulations for the resounding success
02:09achieved yesterday at the United Nations Assembly.
02:14These are times for solidarity, support, and brotherhood toward those affected by Hurricane
02:20Melissa in eastern Cuba.
