Alicia Mederos Matamoro is a third-grade teacher who came from Havana. Here, she found love and stayed. She speaks to me with a hoarse voice, a dysphonia that doesn't impede the frank dialogue in her classroom and in a hallway of the Buenaventura primary school's semi-boarding school. "I've been in this profession for over twenty-two years, and here I've found a good team. We have difficulties with fuel to generate electricity; the blackouts almost bring us to a standstill. The families of our students struggle a lot to care for their children. But what can we do? Well, the answer lies in better classes, in efficiently attending to those who are less advanced, both in learning and education—that is, in comprehensive development."
