12 - THE RETURN AND THANKS ...
The return trip: Havana - Montevideo, began on April 10, 2006, at 11:30 am in a blue sky dotted with cumulus nimbus. The announcement of the Comandante Rodriguez, was that it would be flying at an altitude of 37 thousand feet and a cruising speed of 850 kms. per hour non-stop-Carrasco arriving around 20 hours. One of the escapades and caring for Board Commissioners, which had brought us to Cuba, named Nancy, also accompanied us on the return trip. A las12: 25, Commander, informed passengers that the plane was flying over the island of Jamaica. An hour later we were again flying over land and was able to observe the immensity of the Orinoco Delta on the coast of Venezuela.
From there, (it was difficult to distinguish what is happening below), we lost visual contact, because of the cloud mass that stood between the air and soil. When the cloud layer began to fade, the night was winning the sky, and it was impossible to see anything outside the glare of city lights, over which we passed. we flew so high that the temperature outside the aircraft marked 57 º negative. We played
soil, at 21:00 Carrasco Uruguay, exactly as had been planned by Commander Rodriguez, 8 hours after leaving the airport José Martí, taking into account the difference of an hour. When the IL 62 of the Cubana de Aviación "after taxiing down the runway, finally stopped in front of the terminal building, patients and their companions, the crew clapped and cheered.
Possibly this is not the last time I refer to Cuba, to thank the care they took me. And with the others. Or to salute his achievements as a result of the revolution of '59. Among these achievements, independent of many others, I would cite the creation of the International Medical Contingent, known as the Henry Reeves brigade. So named, in honor of Brigadier Henry Reeves, an American who fought against the English colonial army, the independence of Cuba in the nineteenth century. Fidel expressed thereon on September 19 last year, "as the tragedy in the world is becoming increasingly clear, we affirm the decision to create today, September 19, 2005, the quota Henry Reeves. "It will consist, first, the members of the current strength of that name. She will join 200 volunteers on the current graduation of doctors, 200 of the previous graduation 2003-2004, 600 students in their sixth year of Medicine from 2005-2006, and 800 of the fifth year of this own course. "Even I confess that the name given to chapter 11 of this newspaper, (A Cuba nothing human is alien to him) was taken from the front page of Granma, and calling for coverage on the work of Cuban doctors who had traveled to Pakistan for aid in the relief to the survivors of earthquake of October 8. The brigade succeeded em 5 months attending 73% of those affected, 1:300.442 patients.
Pakistani children maimed by the quake, were brought to Havana, for the implementation of necessary prostheses.
