What would a nation be without its youth? How would we preserve heritage without having someone to pass on a legacy to?

Questions that crowd to answer: that youth, more than quarry or relief, continues to be hope for the future, airs of happiness. And despite the turmoil of the realities of the world or of the times, young people continue to resemble their time and the way in which they fill it with goals to meet.

XXI century, technology and history converge on the same stage, a century of change, of big challenges faster than light itself; but you open the door and there are the young people ready to occupy a management position as if they had always done so, there they are in complex projects that will adorn their city.

And it is that young people do not cease to surprise even those who are passing through and leave their mark for a while in work practices or simply in an exchange. It is then when we ask ourselves again, is it only here in our big house: the Office of the Historian of Camagüey city? Of course, this reality must be repeated in all the places where a young soul with desires fills the work space with extreme affection.

Just today, April 4th, the day on which the anniversaries of two organizations are celebrated in Cuba: the OPJM and the UJC, we congratulate and extend our gratitude to all the young people who give up their dreams for the preservation of heritage. To each one of them that we prefer to honor with the word and not with names, because the list would be colder than this hug; congratulations.

Continue to be that executor who receives and transmits heritage to future generations. Continue adorning the present with your ideas because the future full of dreams awaits you.
