Paris, August 7.- The Cuban spiritualist religious institution Quisicuaba recently shared experiences in France regarding its community and social work, focused on providing comprehensive support to vulnerable people, its president, Enrique Alemán, said today.
In a meeting with the island's State Mission in France, the deputy also highlighted meetings held focused on interreligious dialogue and solidarity. Alemán and the accompanying delegation explored opportunities for collaboration with entities such as the French Popular Relief (SPF, for its acronym in Spanish), a non-governmental organization dedicated to solidarity work for eight decades, and the Cuba Coopération France (CubaCoop) association, which has been promoting socioeconomic development projects for three decades.
Regarding Quisicuaba, he emphasized its non-proselytizing, non-profit, and inclusive nature, in defense of the work of the Revolution and the principle of "leaving no one behind".
He also mentioned the space gained over time and the national and international recognition of the institution created in 1939, which has consultative status in the United Nations.
According to Dr. Alemán, who coordinates the Platform for Interreligious Dialogue in Cuba, Quisicuaba is involved in 34 social projects nationwide, including the Soup Kitchen, one of the best known for its reach.
Regarding membership, he estimated it at more than 150,000 members from the most diverse sectors of society, with 13 branches spread throughout the largest of the Antilles and 18 abroad.
We are a collective that makes homeland at every moment of the Cuban nation, involved and united all in the ways of faith and committed to the Marti’s precept of "with all and for the good of all", he said.
The Cuban ambassador to France, Otto Vaillant, expressed his gratitude for Quisicuaba's humanitarian and social work, which he described as important to the nation, as well as for the exhibition held here by Alemán. (Text and photo: PL)
