Oslo, December 16, 2022. The InFiL Foundation made a monetary donation to Cuba of 500,000 NOK, to help the recovery process from the damage caused by the fire at the Supertanker Base of Matanzas and the hurricane Ian in the western part of the country, particularly in the province of Pinar del Río.
The Norwegian organization decided to do that after realizing that the effects of those catastrophes came to aggravate the negative impact of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States against the Island for more than 60 years.
Through a letter, the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment, Ana Teresita González Fraga, conveyed sincere thanks to InFiL on behalf of the Cuban government and people.
InFiL was founded in 1980 by Inger and Finn Lie with the aim of fighting blindness in the world and supporting other health related projects in developing countries. (Embassy of Cuba in Norway)
