The group of Cubans that contributed to the eradication of illiteracy in Bolivia said on Tuesday in Havana that
they dedicated this victory to the 50th anniversary of the Revolution and to its leader, Fidel Castro.

The Coordinator of the Cuban Educational Mission in the Bolivian Department of Chuquisaca, Alexander Ávila, pointed out that this victory was also dedicated to President Raúl Castro and to The Five anti-terrorism fighters unjustly incarcerated in the United Status since 1998.

The over 120 educators were received at Havana's José Martí International Airport by top officials from the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party, the Ministry of Education, and other organizations.

During the ceremony, the First Secretary of Cuba's Young Communist League, Julio Martínez, said that the elimination of ignorance in Bolivia is a response to the prevailing social inequality in the world.

More than 820,000 citizens from that South American nation learned how to ead and write, thanks to the use of the Cuban method Yes I Can, applied n almost 30 countries.

On December 20, Bolivia became the third Latin American nation to radicate illiteracy, after Cuba (1961) and Venezuela (2005).
