applications for the over-50 population, since it is necessary to
educate our people in health related activities in general. It is
impossible to have one physiotherapist for each of the millions of
people that need to perform these exercises.

The European and U.S. hierarchy would love to buy up Cuban doctors,
just as they do with graduates from African and Latin American
countries, and from other places in the Third World, thus depriving
these regions of the professionals that they have educated with such
great sacrifice!

In one single African village -as we have already said and we shall
repeat as many times as necessary- a Cuban internationalist doctor
can at the same time train several excellent doctors at his side, in
the biggest laboratory in the world, the community, to struggle
against the particular diseases affecting each specific region in
Africa. The books accompanying this doctor would be used as a common
source of knowledge.

A health professional without a specialized textbook at his
fingertips is like a Christian without a Bible.

As I am writing these lines on a Sunday afternoon, I repeat the idea
of working on my Memoirs, if time would allow it. If someone pays for
them, I would direct those funds to the publishing of textbooks, in
Cuba, for our health professionals. Meanwhile, there are already more
than 100 thousand previously guaranteed books that will be
distributed in the coming months, not as thick, heavy, imported
volumes, but divided up into smaller books, organized by chapters.

Tomorrow, the Meeting on Globalization and Development Problems
begins. On the first day, the key-note speaker would have been our
dear friend the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa. He won't be able
to attend. We are hearing the loud clarion call of war in the
southern part of our continent as the result of the genocidal plans
of the Yankee Empire.

Nothing new! It was expected!
