FROM CUBA Wind-damaged school remains unrepaired 5d453m

HAVANA, Cuba, December 6 (Roberto Santana Rodrguez / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - The "Jos Brias Garca" elementary school, about 8 miles outside the city of Camagey, was extensively damaged by a tornado August 13 and authorities have still not repaired it.

The 62 students who normally attend the school have been housed since then at the sector police headquarters and the home of the area's physician.

The children's parents appealed to the offices of the Popular Power, or local government, only to learn that the school had not been repaired for the 15 years prior to the tornado.

"What they have to do is repair the school themselves," one of the teachers told the parents, who feel that's the government's job.
