Santa Clara, Aug 5 (RHC) The German solidarity group SJD-Die Falken (The Falcons) ended the day before visiting historical and cultural sites in the central Cuban province of Villa Clara.

Klaus Schlichting, founder of this project since 2014, told the press that in this opportunity, they again felt wonderful emotions and greatly enjoyed meeting the Cuban people, both in Villa Clara and the provinces of Havana, Pinar del Río, and Matanzas.

He pointed out that the purpose is to add more members to keep the project alive under the protection of friendship and solidarity with Cuba.
