Statement of the Jamaica-Cuba Friendship Association on the ocassion of the 26th of July
The Jamaica Cuba Friendship Association joins with the rest of progressive humanity in the commemoration of the 66th anniversary of the 26th of July Movement’s attack on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de Cespedes garrisons in Cuba, an action that changed the course of history, especially for the down-trodden peoples of this world.
We in the Jamaica Peace Council are saddened by the loss of Ambassador Elinor Felix who was devoted to the Vision and Mission of a peaceful world. Elinor, the shortened French version of Eleanor, is an uncommon name for a most uncommon human being. It is uncanny how much she embodied the meaning of her name which we came across on two websites.
Whatisthemeaningofname.com defined Elinor as one with a friendly nature and a desire to please. The website also says, among other things that Elinor is expressive, diplomatic and easy-going.
