This central Cuban province was distinguished for the positive results attained in most fields, so there are plenty of reasons to celebrate, as a family and with the working people.

According to Belquis Díaz Jiménez, secretary general of the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC) in Sancti Spiritus, the recognition translates into commitment, into better performance in work place, school or home, in order to continue participating in the development of this province.
