A school is being rebuilt here.
Three classrooms, a bathroom outside, a computer laboratory.
A little school for 37 students in La Recontra, a small settlement five kilometers past the bridge over the River Duaba, in Baracoa, Guantánamo.
Working here, all day long, are members of the Martha Machado Brigade - an artistic group founded by Cuban visual artist Alexis Leyva Machado (Kcho) - volunteers, teachers, children, parents.
They paint, hammer, plan, decorate, and tile.
Here they are raising the vestiges of a school hit hard by Hurricane Matthew; it is called the Carlos Manuel de Céspedes.
They say it is going to look just like the house where Martí was born.
