The José Martí Youth Movement (MJM) in Las Tunas delivered the Joven Patria Award (Young Homeland) to Julio Esquivel Tamayo and Yordan Caballero García, in a simple activity organized with the entire sanitary rigor that these times demand.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- The young student and professor at the Zoilo Marinello University of Medical Sciences are both passionate about Martí; they remain active with researches that help to study and disseminate the thought and work of who is considered, with total fairness, the most universal Cuban.

The activity is part of the celebration in this province for the 168th anniversary of the Apostle's birth. Flowers were deposited there today, but his example is honored every day from an academic training of excellence in the competitive and necessary health sector in Cuba.

The Joven Patria Award was instituted in 2002 and is the most important granted by the José Martí Youth Movement in the country, to recognize the contribution of "the new pine trees" in facets of the life of José Martí. Several sons of this eastern province already hold this distinction.
