Mayabeque, Cuba: The seventh month of the year goes on without the characteristic hullabaloo of July because it coincides with the summer stage and the joy that reigns during the summer.
It is the second consecutive year that the Covid-19 pandemic changes the scenery in Mayabeque and throughout Cuba.
The summer plan with multiple options for collective enjoyment in cultural and recreational institutions has been left behind.
Today the scenario is different and social networks echo and option to bring cultural proposals to different audiences. The house is now the place to develop the imagination and look for alternatives that allow family enjoyment.
It is true that the pandemic has been prolonged; that there is stress and the need for distraction, but nothing justifies putting health at risk. Being healthy is reason enough to enjoy the summer even if it is different and adapt to the new reality.
Television programming, board games, reading and many other initiatives can be done from home on the stage.
It is true that we miss parties, the beach, amusement parks, gatherings with family and friends, but that all that becomes part of our lives soon depends on the responsibility with which we act today.
Let’s live the summer to the fullest, act with discipline and enjoy being with the family at home, protected and loving each other. That means betting on a risk-free future with health when together we can celebrate life.
