Guillermo is a 55-year-old father and scientific researcher in electromagnetic energy at the Universidad Oriente in Santiago de Cuba. His monthly salary amounts to barely 35 euros.
In Cuba, where material scarcity is part of daily life, solidarity and resilience have become a way of surviving — and of living with dignity. Helping and sharing among those who have less is not an exception, but a cornerstone of the culture.
Guillermo hadn’t shaved in two years. In this photo, he finally does so — with the razors we brought him. What might seem like a small gesture is, in truth, a powerful symbol: of self-care regained, of human connection, and of the quiet strength with which Cubans face everyday challenges.
