“ANITA'S REVOLUTION”

Friday January 25
7pm
Joe’s Café ~ large north hall
1150 Commercial Dr. (at William St.)
Vancouver, Canada

One of the greatest achievements of the Cuban Revolution was to
eliminate illiteracy, which was accomplished just two years after the
triumph of the Cuban Revolution. Vancouver Communities in Solidarity
with Cuba (VCSC) invites you to a special evening with acclaimed
author Shirley Langer about her novel “Anita’s Revolution”.

>> About ANITA’S REVOLUTION:

“Fidel Castro announced before the United Nations in 1960 that Cuba
would be “a territory free from illiteracy” by the end of 1961. How
Cuba achieved that goal is what Anita’s Revolution is about. Cuba
called upon its young people to volunteer to become teachers, and more
than 100,000 of them answered the call. It was to be the adventure of
their lives!”

Who is Anita? What was her adventure? Why did she become a volunteer?
Why did more than 100,000 like her become volunteers? What challenges
and dangers did these youth face? How did their heroic effort change
the future of Cuba?

“Anita’s Revolution is a tribute to the potential and spirit of youth.”

“ANITA'S REVOLUTION”
(La Revolución de Anita)

Viernes, 25 de enero
7pm
Joe’s Café ~ large north hall
1150 Commercial Dr. (at William St.)
Vancouver, Canada

Uno de los grandes logros de la Revolución Cubana fue el de eliminar
el analfabetismo, lo cual fue logrado apenas dos años después del
triunfo de la Revolución. Las Comunidades de Vancouver en Solidaridad
con Cuba les invitan a una noche especial con la
aclamada autora Shirley
Langer, sobre su novela “Anita’s Revolution” (La Revolución de
Anita).

>> Acerca de ANITA’S REVOLUTION:

“Fidel Castro anunció ante Naciones Unidas en 1960 que Cuba sería
‘territorio libre de analfabetismo’ para el final de 1961. Anita’s
Revolution trata de cómo Cuba logró esa meta. Cuba convocó a los
jóvenes para que se ofrecieran como voluntarios y se convirtieran en
maestros, y más de 100,000 de ellos respondieron al llamado. ¡Fue la
aventura de sus vidas!”

¿Quién es Anita? ¿Cuál fue su aventura? ¿Por qué se ofreció como
voluntaria? ¿Por qué más de cien mil como ellas se ofrecieron como
voluntarios? ¿Qué retos enfrentaron esos jóvenes? ¿Cómo su heroico
esfuerzo cambió el futuro de Cuba?

“Anita’s Revolution es un tributo al potencial y al espíritu de la juventud.”
