 Cuban theaters, movies, squares, parks, streets, sports fields, and beaches today are the stage for activities to celebrate Children´s Day, a festivity in the Island on the third Sunday of July.
It includes outdoor and indoor shows, contests, festivals, and dance, as well as reading and new technology and communication activities.
According to the vice president of the Jose Marti Pioneer Organization, Manuel Valera, the country´s 15 provinces will carry out activities for the children.
In a statement to the National News Agency, Valera said this is a special day with lots of reasons for happiness because everything here is made for the wellbeing and defense of the children´s right to life.
Valera recalled that the third Sunday of July festivity was proposed by the children themselves during a meeting with Cuban Revolution leader Fidel Castro, in 1974. (PL)
