Micha M. Waithe and James Stuart Robertson, the two Barbadian students benefited this year with scholarships to study at the Latin American and Caribbean School of Medicine (ELAM), received a warm farewell by the Cuban Consul in Barbados, Ana Labaut de Dios, before travel to Havana to begin the school year on September 3, 2018. Accompanied by their families and friends, they expressed their satisfaction for having received this special opportunity and committed themselves to overcome the difficult challenge before them. After signing off the code of ethics, the Cuban diplomat wished them the best successes in their career, with the aspiration that on a not so distant day they could serve their people; in this sense she recalled the essence of the thought of the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution, who was the architect of ELAM, with the noble purpose of serving the humble in all the developing nations of the world.
