The school guarantees attention to some 160 students with special educational needs, Maira Fundora, general director of Education in the municipality of Trinidad, who emphasized that “the main objective is to prepare them for life”, explained.

She also pointed out that the Santander family, which preserves a long tradition in the World Cultural Heritage city, is interested in collaborating with the school through a project to teach how to make clay pieces.

Octavio Rubio, general director of La Estancia, explained that this delivery is made in the context of the activities of the Canchánchara Festival, Tradition and Culture, and he expressed the company’s commitment to maintain close ties with this educational center.

The Festival took place from the 8th to the 10th of this month in the third village founded by the Spaniards in Cuba.

The Santander family has kept alive the pottery tradition for six generations and made the vessel, where a large canchánchara was made, with a view to establishing a Guinness Record.
