A new era for the community
«In the conditions in which the country develops its economic and social life, being able to inaugurate this children’s center is an exceptional act,» said Broche Lorenzo.
Located in the town of Gelpis and with an approximate capacity of 180 children, the Sonrisas de Camilo circle, with more than four classrooms for infants from 2nd to 6th year of life, will be a great benefit for the residents of the community.
Created as one of the noblest and most enduring works of the Revolution, the kindergartens guarantee the full incorporation of women into working life, help to create habits, customs and norms of conduct, and at the same time reinforce the education of the home and promote the integral and multifaceted development of children.
