Auckland.- As part of its close relationship with the Letras Latinas library, the Cuban Embassy made a book donation covering a diverse group of topics.
Letras Latinas is a community library based in Auckland, the only institution of its kind in Romance languages, associated with ALAC (Aotearoa Latin America Community), which in turn offers social services to the Latin American community in New Zealand.
It seems to be a perfect timing for this action, given the fact that ALAC will be soon celebrating their 25th anniversary.
The donation was made during the visit of the Ambassador of Cuba, Mario Alzugaray, to the ALAC headquarters, where he could also exchange on the possibility of future collaborations that can contribute to the goal of bringing New Zealanders closer to the history, culture and traditions of Latin America and Cuba in particular.
During the exchange, the director of Letras Latinas, Mirtha Álvarez, expressed her gratitude for the gesture of the Cuban Embassy and confirmed the will to continue exploring joint projects.
The titles donated include topics like the history of Cuba and emblematic figures of the Revolution as Che Guevara, as well as books referring to the most diverse aspects of the culture and traditions of the Caribbean country. (Embacuba NZ)
