For his part, Iván Francisco Fernández, an official of the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, explained that the shipment materialized “in record time, with the participation of friends linked to the international movement of solidarity with Cuba” and recognized the work of the Juan Gualberto Gómez Cuban Association in Toronto.

This group of immigrants from the island belongs to the Canadian network of solidarity with Cuba and its work includes actions against the U.S. embargo on Cuba and campaigns in the digital environment.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the island has received several donations from solidarity organizations and immigrants, as well as from governments and international entities, with the aim of helping the island face the infectious disease. In recent weeks the donations, which are organized in different parts of the world, have focused mainly on contributing to the vaccination process in Cuba.
