As the new school year is almost ready to begin, nostalgic memories emerge as the eternal gratitude of these young men and women from other nationalities is felt. Some are leaving the Villa Clara Superior Education classrooms. Others return to their countries while holding on to the love and affection, the rigor of their teachers and the pride of knowing that they are going to serve their people with a wide range of skills that they've learned here in Cuba. And still others stay to continue their specialties and studies to learn more, but they all keep in their hearts the love for our island.

Vier Guyen Tron is from Vietnam and studied at the Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences.

"We start to face a new life with a new profession. I will continue with the specialty in Integral General Medicine for 18 months and then I will specialize. Will then return to my homeland to help the Vietnamese people. This is what I've learned from the Cuban people."

Donderai Ben Canzamundanga arrived from Zimbabwe and is already a graduate student in Veterinarian Medicine and Zootechnics, thanks to his studies at the Central University of Cuba.

"I thank the Cuban Revolution for giving me a career, a profession which I will practice in my country. The Revolution also taught me to be more humane and the importance of solidarity."

Isaac Chucumeta, from Nigeria, also graduated from the Central University of Cuba, but in Computer Sciences.

"It is a very big opportunity to be able to study in another country, especially in Cuba. I learned a lot about Cuban culture and other things that will be useful in my country. I'm now preparing for my masters. I will thank Cuba all my life."

For Carolina Lizzi Castañeda Peña from El Salvador, the years she spent at the Medical Sciences University are unforgettable. It is a period that, she said, marks her life forever.

"We thank the Cuban people who gave us the opportunity of graduating as doctors because in El Salvador we would not have been able to accomplish our dream and reach the goal we set ourselves when we left our countries."
