Social Workers Pay Tribute to Cuban Heroine

Havana, Jan 11 (acn) Social workers from the 169 Cuban municipalities 
paid tribute on Thursday to Celia Sanchez Manduley, Heroine of the 
Cuban Revolution, commemorating the 28th anniversary of her death.

During the ceremony, participants sang songs, read poems and laid a 
wreath by a bronze sculpture dedicated to Celia at the Lenin Park in 
Havana.

Ariel Fonseca, head of the program of social workers in Granma 
province, recalled that since the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 
1959, Celia was also paying attention to and taking care of the needs 
of children, women, farmers and workers.

He added that Celia is an example to be followed in order to continue 
working with dedication and sacrifices for the development of our 
nation and to honor her memory.

This ceremony also served as inauguration for the national meeting of 
Heads of Social Workers at the municipal and provincial levels that 
takes place until Saturday in Havana to analyze the work done in 2007 
and discuss the plan of actions for 2008.
