Havana will get plenty of media hype in September during the upcoming Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NOAL) at the International Convention Center with a massive turnout of Heads of State and Government, plus boldface names from the 116 countries that belong to this organization. The event’s wide-ranging agenda draws a bead on the need to find solutions for the sake of unity amid NOAL’s current diversity and the tough international scenario mankind has climbed on in these times. Cuba, the host country for a second time –the island nation was home to the sixth edition in 1979- is taking three interesting proposals to the gathering. They are a universal literacy campaign, the fast-track training of physicians, and the energy revolution, a plan that allows for considerable hard currency savings in oil and fuel imports. The first proposal is based on the experiences and achievements of Cuba’s “I Can” program, a system that hinges on volunteers trained to act as teachers in a literacy crusade. In the healthcare front, as many as 70,000 Cuban doctors are cooperating in other nations, while the “Social Hope” program –also spearheaded by the island nation- allows some 100,000 medicine students from different parts of the world to graduate every ten years. That’s why the Havana Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement will pan out to be such a major event, especially because attendants will address an array of hot issues and will focus on the implementation of a new economic and social order, far fairer and more equitable for the Third World people.
