Ambassador Justin Sterling Simpson met with many of those served by the Order of Malta, along with those responsible for delivering meals and services with care and compassion, recognizing the dignity of the whole person.

The Ambassador, together with Counselor to the Embassy Dr. Antonio Acosta-Rua, visited a number of projects supported by the Cuban Association of the Sovereign Order of Malta in the provinces of Havana, Pinar del Rio and Matanzas.

As it does in a number of countries around the world, the principal work of the Order of Malta in Cuba focuses on the elderly, working to ensure that older citizens live with dignity.

Ambassador Simpson commented “It is a privilege to see this work in action, and to meet the elderly citizens it serves. Those who work to assist our elderly brothers and sisters deserve our thanks and our praise.”

The Order of Malta hopes to increase its levels of service to the elderly in Cuba in the coming months.
