Children pressed into duty collecting garbage

HOLGUIN, Cuba - January 29 (Yosvani Anzardo Hernández, Jóvenes sin
Censura / www.cubanet.org) - A group of 30 children and one teenager
have been organized into a brigade by members of the Panamerican Health
Organization to pick up solid refuse in the city.

Local government officials say there are not enough vehicles to do the
job and it is common to see piles of refuse in the streets.

The project, called by a Spanish phrase that could be translated to
"Live-end street" includes picking up garbage in the yards of residents
who want to participate.
