Bayamo, Cuba, March 26 (acn) Canadian youths visiting Cuba expressed today their great sympathy for the people of the island, after touring historical sites of the Sierra Maestra mountain and other places of interest in the eastern province of Granma.
Members of the group made up of theater students and professors from the city of Trois Rivieres, Quebec, told ACN that they were happy for having been able to talk with Cubans of different ages and occupations, which allowed them to learn about the culture and history of the island.
Amelia Langlois, member of the Trois Rivieres Solidarity Committee spoke to ACN on behalf of the rest of the visitors, who in general expressed their interest in studying Spanish and travelling to the island again in the future.
She said the group loved the Sierra Maestra tour, where they met with children and adults in the communities of Providencia and Boca del Salto, scenarios of battles fought by the Rebel Army, under the leadership of Fidel Castro, during National Liberation War.
Langlois said they walked around the Revolution square in Bayamo and visited the museums of the National Anthem and the Motherland, as well as the Los Dolores chapel, which is a real architectural jewel in the main catholic church of the city.
The Quebecois committee has been organizing trips for community-based cultural exchanges to Cuba since 2006 with the Cuban theatre troupe La Guerrilla de Teatreros, explained Langlois, and added that the project seeks to introduce young Canadians to international actions of solidarity and increase their knowledge about other nations.
The Canadian group arrived in Cuba on March 15 and will conclude its visit on the 29th, coordinated by the Cuban Friendship Institute delegation in Granma.
