Summoned by the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP), this initiative arose in 2014 and has the objective to show to the Haitian citizens, especially to the young people that there are majority in the group, the reality of his nearby nation in the Caribbean, the official of the institution, Yoandra Rodríguez, explained.

Also, the visitors take part in every trip in voluntary works, which today they developed in the community of Cortadera, in the municipality of Minas, where in 1933 a massacre happened to stop a working strike and several settlers who had come from Haiti died.

The brigade members attended Santa Cecilia Center of Conventions, in this city, where Jesus Polo Vázquez, vice-president of the Provincial Management Board, offered a conference on the economic Camagüey reality.

A special moment of the exchange happened in the night of this Tuesday, when the vocal group Desandann, representative of the choral heredity of Haiti, performed for them, and was recognized for its 20th anniversary in 2014.

For Robenson Silencieux, one of the brigade members and the director of International Learnings Institute of West Indies, the exchange turns out to be very profitable and enriching, since he can transmit to his students the truth of a country that it has always been an example of solidarity with his homeland.

Before returning, the Haitian visitors will have a contact with a descendants community in Birán, province of Holguín, then to set off from the city of Santiago de Cuba.
