The Namibia–Cuba Friendship Association wishes to express our solidarity with the people of Cuba, a sister country that has been hit by the Hurricane Irma.
We saw with deepest sadness how this meteorological phenomenon destroying the infrastructure, the homes, the plantations, factories and the environment of the Island. The images of the destruction in the provinces of the Country in which many of us studied have impacted in our hearts. During those days, in which Irma passed almost all the country, our thoughts and prayers were with our Cuban brothers and sisters.
In October this year, members of the Namibia- Cuba Friendship Association will visit Cuba to participate in the celebrations of the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of the International Schools in the Island of Youth by our late Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz.
We will ensure our participation in voluntary work together with other African Friendship Association with Cuba in the areas affected by the Hurricane Irma.
We are confident that with the strength and capacity of the Cuban people, the example of Fidel and the leadership of Comrade President Raul Castro Ruz the country will recover from the devastation of Hurricane Irma.
We would like assure the Cuban brothers and sisters that the Namibian people are with them in this difficult time. The solidarity between Cuba and Africa and Namibia in particular will always remain strong.
Long live the solidarity between Africa and Cuba!
Long live the solidarity between Namibia and Cuba!
Long live Cuba!
Long live Namibia!
Long live friendship!
