The First Pan-African Festival of Cuban Graduates, which concluded in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, was for its participants a way to express their deep admiration and gratitude to the Caribbean island for training them as professionals.
Dr. Malachy Dottin, coordinator of the Graduates of Cuban Educational Institutions in Grenada, thanked Havana online for its contribution and affirmed that it has become one of Saint George’s most respected, beloved, and committed partners in development.
Dottin emphasized that, for decades, Cuba has demonstrated unwavering solidarity with his country and the Caribbean in general through medical care, education, vocational training, and humanitarian cooperation.
“Cuba continues to serve humanity with remarkable courage, conviction and selfless dedication.”
He revealed that during the Month of Solidarity with Cuba, from May to June, a coordinated national effort is underway to mobilize one million dollars in humanitarian aid, including the collection of essential items such as solar lamps and small solar-powered devices.
Similarly, the initiative seeks to collect medicines and supplies, as well as hygiene and sanitation products.
The Grenadian graduate considered that the example of incredible Cuban resilience and perseverance provides lasting inspiration for struggle, tenacity, and steadfastness in the face of adversity.
The First Pan-African Festival of Cuban Graduates, a three-day event held both in person and online, features graduates from Ethiopia, Ghana, Angola, Grenada, and the Republic of Congo.
