Highlighting the figure of the Cuban National Hero, José Martí, is a perennial call for the new generation in Guaimaro, especially those committed to the defense of the human work that since January 1st, 1959 saw the light as a beacon and guide of the world and the whole of America.
From several days up to the next coming 28th, the schools of the territory materialize a wide plan of activities to greet the 164th anniversary of the birth of the Apostle of Independence, actions that allow the timely, deserved and necessary approach to the life of the cordial and courteous man, humanist and firm in his convictions.
Special morning activities, revolutionary ceremonies, drawing contests, conferences, literature events, among others, are part of the proposals carried out by students and educators from the easternmost region of Camagüey.
In an effort to recall the greatness of the patriot who died "facing the sun" at age 42, there are also workers and CDR members of the municipality who, with responsibility and discipline, take on challenges and comply with the principles of the Revolution concept, issued by the undefeated and immortal Commander Fidel Castro Ruz on May 1st, 2000 in Plaza de la Revolución José Martí.
This Wednesday, January 25th, 2016, when the entire island of the Antilles remembers two months of the physical departure of the eternal leader Fidel, the figure of José Martí is reborn clean and fruitful, always at the service of the highest ideals, the same as children, youth and adults in Guaimaro have vowed to defend.
There are only three days left for hundreds of torches to parade through the streets of the city where the first Constitution of the Republic in Arms was signed, which also took up space in Martí's writings when he said:
"A month later, it was commanded with a 24-hour deadline for devastation, save it from the enemy, by fire, the sacred people, and give them ruins where they hoped Forts. Neither the mothers wept nor the men hesitated, nor did the limp heart stopped to see the cedars and mahoganies fall. With their hands they lit the bonfire crown to the holy city, and when the night closed, the sacrifice was reflected in the sky. Burned, roared and whistled the great and pure fire, in the house of the Constitution it burned higher and more beautiful."
