6 - THE DAY TO DAY IN THE VILLA
La Villa Tarara, has several rooms where patients their meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and a Point; (or meeting place) where they place other recreational activities, the Clubhouse, a kind of reception, pool, grill and bar, disabled, and Bar and Boutique, still in operation. Everything under the command of Tony, head of the group that serves the house. This kind of "welcome" guests attended and provided other services, seen as lodging, took place in bungalows and villas, spread through the town. Now incorporated into the Mission Miracle, the Clubhouse serves as a local meeting, bringing together delegations from different countries and offers 2 or 3 times a week, dance sessions with artists shows local, which begin after dinner and extend until 22:00, under the leadership of the DJ and cheerleader Jamie (a sensational skinny), which does not hesitate to leave your desk for "fall" in the middle of dancers accompany the steps and figures of the latest hits of reggaeton, especially if "it touches" Homesickness is the Conga (Hey Santiago), as amended by the Sur Caribe Cuban group.
Although the hours seem to pass slowly in the quiet Villa Tarara ... the activity of Medicine, Nursing, physicians and nurses, do not stop instantly. Clinics (pre-operative and post-operative) work Monday Saturdays. The Nursing 24 hours a day, seven days a week in patient care.
is estimated to work in the Villa Tarara, about 20 doctors, technicians and many other Heads of Nurses (Senior) and 300 nurses (Junior), within the Mission Miracle, about 200 people providing assistance to patients and staff and social also work almost a hundred construction workers, gardeners, street cleaners and drivers. The staff serving in canteens, and other dealings number about 170 and have a dining room, just for them. If they join the staff of the Cultural Center, workers in the Transfer, which oversees and coordinates movements of the fleet of buses, which carry and fetch, patients, and for the Village Clinics, or take and bring other patients to hospitals in Havana and equipment maintenance and support to housing, we could risk a figure close to 1000 people involved in day to day, the Miracle in the Village.
Generally, workers who sleep in the town, working 24 hours at a time and rest another 24, according to the type of function. (Nurses and nurses, for example). The waitresses and other staff work 12 canteens and rest another 12 hours. The minibuses called "Buses" for about 30 passengers, transport workers of the town, from, to their destinations, and vice versa at no cost to the worker. The Cuban State is the payer, the service. At 07:30, they start to arrive. At 10:00 get a dozen micros (buses). At 17:00 another dozen. Finally at 22:00, the latest start ... to start all over again the next day.
In 20 days we were in the village, accompanied us Paraguayan patients, Ecuadorian, Panamanian, Salvadoran, Honduran and Guatemalan added to the Uruguayan oversteped quite possibly, the number of thousand patients.
The most cheerful and lively, proved the Ecuadorians. The Paraguayans, very loquacious, and hereby reserved including its neighbors. The Panamanians, Salvadorans and Hondurans, quite serious and quiet. The Guatemalans, very quiet, not try to hide their indigenous origin.
The rows in the dining room, approached the patients of different nationalities, who exchanged information about their respective countries had the nostalgia of a dish, or their relatives. The choice to enter the dining room was of children, then entered the post-operative (with the eye still covered), followed by those arriving in wheelchairs, the older and hard to move, and finally the rest. Some Uruguayans and some Panamanians fought, inch by inch, the prize "Golden Garron, without getting overcome. Was a little thing to see as a day after another, the same people, after 15 days going to the dining room, still unaware that the spot in line was behind the last place and not glued to the front door, as if the row does not exist.
