It was reported that the Quisicuaba Un Proyecto de Vida soup kitchen currently guarantees food to 3,516 people in the Havana municipality, including homeless people and cases from the Family Care System (SAF).

Lazo Hernández was interested in the progress of the expansion work of this important social work and in the number of participants in the project.

Likewise, Dr. Enrique Alemán delved into the work at the Agricultural Camp, located almost 40 kilometers from Havana, with a capacity for approximately 500 people.

“It is moving to observe the comprehensiveness, humanism, solidarity and collective dedication of the project.

Here a true act of love is put into practice, Fidel's concept of Revolution and Martí's phrase 'With everyone and for the good of all'.

This is only possible in the Revolution and with the Revolution.

It is an example worth transmitting to the youngest, in addition to the fact that Centro Habana and Havana can share this experience with other municipalities and provinces of the country”, said the head of the Cuban Parliament.

He recalled that the work in the neighborhoods of the capital began at the end of the 1980s by Cayo Hueso, Atarés and La Güinera, at the initiative of Fidel.

In this regard, Enrique Alemán added that the imprint of the historical leader of the Cuban Revolution is also present in Quisicuaba's resolutions and ratified his gratitude to the Party and the Government, both provincial and municipal, for their permanent accompaniment and support.

The member of the Political Bureau of the Party also inquired about the link with integrated community work (TCI) and the social diagnosis of the delegates.

On this subject, he learned that in this popular council its 15 delegates have TCI, prevention and transformation groups, as well as 19 social workers.

Later, Esteban Lazo toured the streets of Los Sitios popular council to exchange with its inhabitants.

He opened the La Mariposa winery, with a capacity for 903 consumers, and visited the Hermanos Ameijeiras School of Trades and the Arab immigrant park.
