Cuban activist Yasser Sosa Tamayo recently shared a heartfelt story on Facebook about his initiative, alongside fellow collaborators, to become improvised Magi and bring a day of joy to children in his village. With the aim of spreading hope to the youngest, Sosa traversed a "forgotten path" with balloons, candies, and toys, supported by friends both locally and abroad.
As described, the event targeted children who, despite lacking material wealth, possess a pure joy capable of transforming hardships into magical moments. “We became the sweetness of the candies, the wonder of the balloons, and the astonishment brought by the clown Amanda Sofía Fontanals, reminding them that they are still children. Allowing them to touch happiness contained in the magic of a sublime moment,” he expressed in his post.
The initiative not only brought smiles to the children but also inspired the community. Sosa expressed his gratitude towards local and international collaborators such as Fadila Berkani and Marion Kahrens, among others, who helped make this generous act possible, illuminating a neighborhood "far from sensationalist posturing."
The activist concluded his message by inviting more people to join his cause: “If you wish to help me give a magical day to the children of my village, contact me: +5351239208.” This act of kindness highlights how small acts of love and commitment can make a significant impact on the lives of the most vulnerable.
In recent months, Sosa has emerged as one of the leading activists in Santiago de Cuba, offering support to the most needy and vulnerable, demonstrating profound sensitivity. Amid the daily shortages and challenges faced by Cuban society, a group of activists and volunteers managed to bring a ray of hope to 150 needy individuals in Santiago de Cuba.
Sosa explained on Facebook that the initiative turned into an unforgettable day for those who benefited, who enjoyed food, art, and joy in an atmosphere filled with solidarity and empathy.
