In each of the 13 centers of the CTC’s municipal committees the deliveries are received and here in the province we are already making progress in the classification of the items, to send the loads to their final destination on Friday.

In the case of Tourism, he added, all the packages are gathered by hotel chains to facilitate this collection process, so that things are made easier and not a minute is lost for our brothers and sisters to alleviate their situation as soon as possible.

The people of Matanzas are also summoned to donate and make their voluntary contributions in the way they deem appropriate, with the solidarity that characterizes them and that makes us so proud, Leyva Castellanos emphasized.
