In the run up to August 13, 168 people’s councils throughout the country will receive the 56th Anniversary distinction, stated Betty Oria González, a member of the CDR National Secretariat.
Among other activities planned for the coming months is the Second Scientific Event on the history of the CDRs, which will feature the participation of various provincial representatives, noted Oria González. Fidel will also be honored during the monthly voluntary work activities, neighborhood clean-up initiatives and blood donation drives.
