Caimanera en Guantánamo: más que un enclave militar

Alegoría al natalicio de José Martí en Ecured

En este afán por contribuir al perfeccionamiento humano desde Guantánamo, me complace anunciar nuestra colaboración con Raisa Martín Lobo. De su blog La Guantanamera, extrajo las primeras entregas para la FB-DG (familia de blogs Desde Guantánamo…) y les aseguro, que muchas vendrán con palabras enaltecedoras de nuestros valores y otras, retándonos a ser mejores cada día.

Esquina (caimanera)
Esquina caimanerience.

Para algunas personas, vivir en Caimanera, municipio más pequeño del país y pueblo pesquero del mismo nombre, significa estar asociado directamente a la Base Naval norteamericana que ilegalmente ocupa hace más de un siglo el gobierno de los Estados Unidos en territorio guantanamero. Sin embargo, Caimanera es más, es la primera trinchera antimperialista de Cuba.

Caminar entre sus pobladores, es presumir que por sorprendente que parezca para algunos, no temen vivir tan cerca de dicho terreno. Y esto lo confirma el espíritu de cubano convencido de sentirse más orgulloso por vivir cerca de ese pedazo de tierra amputada a la fuerza, en la entrada a ambos lados de la bahía de Guantánamo, la mayor en tamaño y la tercera con forma de bolsa más grande de nuestro planeta.

Su vegetación es amarillenta, y su clima es semidesértico, muy caliente. Es un poblado pequeño, donde el sol provoca un calor insoportable, motivo esencial para que el nivel de evaporación y las bajas lluvias del entorno, dan fe del éxito de las salinas Cerro Guayabo y Frank País, esta última definida como la de mayor producción nacional.

Caimanera tiene sus cosas buenas y malas…

Adonis Navarro Durand, habitante de Caimanera.

“Siempre he vivido aquí en Caimanera, mi familia siempre ha estado acá, me comenta Adonis Navarro Durand a quien encontramos en la librería Andrés Frómeta de este municipio. Vivir aquí, como en todo lugar, tiene sus cosas buenas y también malas.

”Lo bueno, a mi juicio, es respirar el aire marino, sentir el olor a pescado, ver cerca las inmensas montañas de ese infierno blanco que es la salina, disfrutar de la felicidad de ver a nuestros niños y niñas crecer, despuntar en sus proyectos. ¿Lo malo? es el intenso calor que sentimos en este costero poblado y que cada noche, queramos o no, tenemos que compartir nuestras horas de sueño con los “vecinos” de al lado.

”Estar aquí, pegadito a la ilegal base naval, no ha influido en ningún aspecto de mi vida laboral ni personal y estoy completamente seguro de que tampoco en ninguno de los pobladores. La Revolución Cubana ha puesto aquí en Caimanera, lo que tenía que poner, en mi caso particular, me he superado profesionalmente y estoy muy orgulloso de ello.

”El cien por ciento de los caimanerenses hemos nacido y vivido con la presencia del enclave militar ahí mismo, en nuestras propias narices. Sin embargo, como otros cubanos, gozamos de todos los programas de la revolución como la salud, educación, deporte, cultura…

”Estoy orgulloso de vivir en Caimanera. Nosotros tenemos una conciencia patriótica, somos pobladores que estamos muy orgullosos de vivir aquí, de andar sus calles de tierra o pavimento, de visitar una de esas tantas casas e instituciones que se levantan del agua sobre pilotes, de caminar por la orilla de la playa, de bañarnos en ella, de convivir con los pescadores.

”Si no tuviéramos la presencia de la ilegal base naval, nuestras conquistas sociales estuvieran a un mayor nivel. Por eso siempre digo que aquí, en Caimanera, tenemos un doble bloqueo: el del gobierno de los Estados Unidos y la presencia del enclave”, concluyó Adonis.

Y es que solo conversar con sus pobladores, presupone la explicación de la estación naval de la Bahía de Guantánamo que se estableció en este espacio del municipio costero de Caimanera tras anexarse la Enmienda Platt a la Constitución cubana de 1901.

De aquí yo no me voy…

osmara calderon bell (caimanera)
Osmara Calderón Bell, habitante de Caimanera.

Osmara Calderón Bell es una mujer de 73 años que siempre ha vivido en Caimanera. El profundo amor que siente por esta tierra lo evidencia en los gestos y en sus convincentes palabras: “Yo nací en Caimanera, mi familia es de Santiago de Cuba y mis antecedentes vinieron para acá desde hace ya mucho tiempo.

”Nunca he salido de aquí, sólo cuando me fui a alfabetizar y posteriormente estudié en La Habana, pero regresé. Mi familia siempre fue muy integrada, recuerdo que pertenecíamos a una institución no gubernamental que llevaba por nombre los BoyScaut, era una organización como si fuera de exploradores, la integrábamos los jóvenes y ahí hacíamos diferentes actividades.

Osmara, quien fue además maestra voluntaria, fundadora de los CDR, la FMC, aseveró que: “Jamás he pensado irme de Caimanera, de aquí no salgo, jamás podré salir de aquí porque me ata la tierra, la sal, el olor a mar. No podría vivir en otro lugar, mis padres y mis abuelos también vivieron aquí. Yo amo demasiado este pedacito de Caimanera.

”La presencia del enclave militar aquí jamás influyó en nuestras vidas. Me gusta tanto lo cubano que el hecho de que aún estén tan cerca de nosotros, no tiene significado alguno para la gente de este pueblo a quienes nos caracteriza el amor a la Patria, el sacrificio y la lealtad a su Revolución.

”El lugar donde está la base naval es precioso, ahí estuve varias veces con mis padres de visita. Recuerdo que cuando tenía unos doce años me llevaron a una fiesta, otras veces iba de paseo en las vacaciones. Las playas son muy lindas de arena blanca y fina, son hermosos los establecimientos comerciales, sus calles, es un lindo lugar, muy lindo…

”La última vez que estuve allí fue unos días antes de la Toma de Caimanera, imagínate hace ya más de 55 años, sin embargo, lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy. Siempre le digo a mis hijos y a otros jóvenes que algún día podrán estar ahí, que podrán disfrutar de todo lo que hay en ese pedazo de Cuba que es nuestro. Ya se irán y nos dejarán lo que nos han arrebatado, de eso estoy completamente segura”, concluye Osmara.

Hoy Caimanera está lejos de ser aquel lugar que conoció muy de cerca lo que era el capitalismo. Es un pueblo que está lejos de ser aquel que se hundía en la miseria, el desempleo y el analfabetismo, infortunios erradicados con el triunfo revolucionario del 1ro de enero de 1959.

Caimanera es un municipio al cual el gobierno garantiza a todos sus ciudadanos el goce de las conquistas alcanzadas por la Revolución. Es un pueblo que crece en la medida de su historia, un pueblo que levanta su voz para tejer su propio destino y sus propias leyendas.

  29. Shsat practice test training! Is one better than the opposite?
    Can one completely exchange the other? Indeed plainly Shsat observe take
    a look at training is the best way of the future.

    Academic institutions, companies and government
    organizations alike already offer varied forms of digital teaching.
    Nevertheless, can a pc actually change a instructor and a blackboard?Each individual
    has a form of learning that fits them best. Some individuals achieve implausible
    results in courses taught Shsat observe check, nevertheless most people drop out of
    one hundred% computer-led courses. Academic establishments,
    in addition to companies in carrying out employees coaching,
    must recognize that there isn’t a ideally suited way to carry out the teaching of a
    large group of individuals, and so must design packages that most closely fits
    the needs of the group as a whole.People study using a number
    of senses. This entails learning by both theoretical components of a course,
    in addition to social interplay with each instructors
    and different students. Students be taught from each other’s errors and successes, not simply from what they’re told by instructors.Each particular person student has
    an excellent learning pace. Instructors are due to
    this fact faced with the problem of designing programs that move ahead such that those
    students with a slower learning pace do not get left behind, whereas not
    moving so slowly that college students with faster learning paces
    get bored.Within the age of excessive-pace information switch, Shsat practice check schooling is becoming a popular and cheap means
    for delivering educating to individuals exterior the
    classroom, and in some instances all around the world. Teaching will be by way of CD, web sites, or

    test education is still a comparatively new idea, and in lots of respects
    still in the teething stages. As such, varied issues arrive throughout different Shsat observe check training environments.
    For example: Lack of rapid suggestions in asynchronous learning environments: Whereas some Shsat practice check training environments akin to webcasts, webinars and virtual classrooms function live with
    the addition of an instructor, most do not.
    Teaching that is delivered via a CD or web site, though
    having the advantage of being self-paced, gives
    no speedy feedback from a stay instructor. More preparation required on the part of the trainer: In an Shsat
    follow check schooling environment, an instructor cannot
    simply stand in front of a whiteboard and deliver a class.
    Lessons in Shsat practice test training environments have to be ready forward of time,
    along with any notes and instructions that will accompany the
    teaching.In many circumstances it would also be obligatory that the
    trainer not only understands the ideas being taught, however the technology used to ship that teaching.

    demand on educational institutions. Not all individuals are snug
    with Shsat follow take a look at schooling: Education is not only sought by the world’s youth.
    With an increased trend towards grownup and continuing schooling,
    there is a need to design courses appropriate for college kids over a bigger age-vary, in addition to students from completely different and diversified backgrounds.
    It’s difficult, nevertheless, to design Shsat apply
    check training environments suitable for everyone.4.
    Elevated potential for frustration, anxiety and confusion: In an Shsat observe take a
    look at education surroundings, there are a larger variety of parts making up the system that
    can fail. Server failures might stop Shsat apply check programs
    from operating. Software program based educating purposes may require other particular elements to operate.
    Computer viruses could infect software program necessary to run Shsat
    apply check education environments. If these methods are advanced,
    students might choose the convenience of On-campus education relatively
    than taking the additional effort and time necessary to master
    the use of Shsat observe test education systems.
