I have a question but they don't give me answers, the low weight module, A and B, that module is distributed in Havana and in the eastern provinces, especially in Guantanamo, they will never distribute it again. We're going to be there for 6 months and after we enter this year they never distributed it again and in Havana every month and in the East, when is what I want to know?
Greetings, I don't know what people you call vulnerable because in this country practically everyone is vulnerable. Salaries are not enough and product prices are sky high. I am the father of two children and their mother has psychiatric problems and no one does anything. A social worker offered her a job sweeping streets or cleaning floors with a minimum wage of 2100 pesos. God bless you and thank you for everything.
every population is vulnerable
I don't understand the inequality of the distributions, we are all vulnerable, provinces that have already received the 7 pounds of rice from April and even through donations, in Santiago 1 kg of sugar per person from donations, in Holguín and other provinces they have given rice and spaghetti to the population by nucleus composition and here in Granma we are the last card in the deck, everything is very unequal, it was only in April that the distribution began and only 3 pounds, I hope it is evaluated and there is more equality, we are all vulnerable.
Milk for chronic diseases is not even known what month it is
I imagine the pound-a-dollar sugar limit per consumer is to protect Cubans from diabetes. Deprive us of breakfast, a little dessert, or something. Thank you for taking such good care of us.
I don't understand how diabetics are not given anything for so many years. They never stopped giving them anything. The sick can no longer live in Cuba. We have done so much for our country.
And Sancti Spiritus, doesn't it exist on the map of Cuba? Well, Trinidad in particular is in a bad way. What's happening with this province?
It is disrespectful to only give respect to the vulnerable. Everyone in this country is vulnerable.
But here in Santiago de Cuba it is only for social cases because it is assumed that the vulnerable are sick people and they receive nothing.
Always with the topic of vulnerability in Cuba, we are all vulnerable since food is a serious problem. Adolescents who are developing are stunted. They should go to secondary school and pre-school. In general, the average population is vulnerable. People are all stunted.
Hello, the cigarettes have already arrived in my warehouse. What I don't understand is that tobacco arrived at the beach. Why didn't they bring it to my warehouse? I'm from Marianao, 1523. Thank you.
On the beach people don't talk much either.
And they don't give anything to the disabled.
Here, only children from 0 to 5 years old eat. What kind of children are the older ones? Why do they need it just like the others? Why do they get hungry too? And the vulnerable? Everyone in this country is vulnerable.
When Asher was born and when they were going to give the diet and milk to the pregnant woman
I'm curious to know who the vulnerable people are, and what happened with medical diets for chronic illnesses. No one remembers that anymore, but those who suffer from them do need them. Once, they said they wouldn't renew them because they were chronic; but they never gave them again. Super difficult...
Good afternoon.
What they don't explain, or I didn't understand, is whether the 14 pounds of rice is for the entire population. And also, why just one pound of sugar, if until last month, they were giving two pounds per consumer.
I'm from Ciego de Ávila, and I'm very sorry that this province doesn't report much, even though it has a Telegram channel. However, the information on this channel is very brief, with only a few wineries, and without much detail. They've almost always used the channel to publish photos, and more photos, of wineries, but without much detail.
If possible, in the province of Ciego de Ávila, they would give better use to the Telegram channel, so we can stay informed.
Thank you, and have a great afternoon everyone.
