Thousands of Cuban youth are carrying out Sunday a brigade for voluntary work in the island, to remember the example of Argentinean-Cuban guerrilla fighter Ernesto Che Guevara.

Young Communist League's National Bureau member Maday Iglesias told "Juventud Rebelde" newspaper that efforts for the economic and social recovery will be focused on the country's eastern provinces.

After intensive rains, associated to Tropical Storm Noel by late October and early November, the eastern Cuba had material losses valued at $500 million.

The youth leader said that actions in the rest of the island's territories are aimed to the production and services, the campaign against the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, and the construction of social works.

Che personally created and boosted the first brigade of voluntary work in Cuba, on November 22, 1959.
