Internacional Varadero’s Gift to the Cárdenas Nursing Home

Cárdenas – To embrace them through altruism, a representation from the Internacional Varadero hotel arrived with its load of affection at the Humberto Álvarez Nursing Home in this city, and offered a peculiar service there for the benefit of its 72 residents.

A special lunch was shared with people like Regla Guardia and Carlos Manuel Ramírez, who thanked the initiative, especially the fact of remembering us, they expressed emotionally to the press that covered an event already habitual among the members of the Provincial Hotel and Tourism Workers Union (SPTHT).

These acts of solidarity are inherent to people of good will. It is a duty to be assumed by all economic actors in the country. It is simply about sharing what one has with those most in need, considered Alejandro Ríos, general secretary of the union bureau of the facility managed by the Gran Caribe hotel group.

Similar words were expressed by Félix Martínez, Party representative at the Internacional Varadero hotel, who assured that actions like these take on greater value in the context of the centenary of Fidel Castro Ruz’s birth, who bequeathed us his human stature.

Sharing what one has with those in need defines the stance of this collective, with the notable precedent of having donated more than one million pesos to victims of Hurricane Melissa in eastern Cuba.

These are typical courtesies of the SPTHT, proudly assures Yarisleydis Torriente Sánchez, the highest representative of this organization in Matanzas, a territory where many other centers from this sector in Varadero maintain ties with the Cárdenas nursing home.

She recalled that not long ago, the Villa Cuba hotel donated two wheelchairs, described as invaluable by the institution’s directors, for their help to patients with total or partial loss of mobility.

At that time, Teresita Roosburgh Sotolongo, general secretary of the union bureau of that tourist facility, referred to the satisfaction of contributing to improving the living conditions of the elderly interned there, as they also do with children from the José Smith Comas boarding school in the Merceditas settlement, those from the home for children without family care, and those who study at the José Antonio Echeverría Special School.
