Once Upon a Time, There Was a Country Without Children. / Monomad Challenge [Eng/Esp]

I remember that when I was in school—I must have been about 7 or 8 years old—the teachers used to say that the Cuba of the future would have a very aging population. More than 30 years later, that prediction has come true. |
Yo recuerdo que en mis años de escuela, tendría unos 7 u 8 años, los maestros decían que la Cuba del futuro sería de una población muy envejecida. Más de 30 años después se hizo realidad el vaticinio. |

It’s hard to find children on the streets like there were 20 years ago; scenes of them playing are very rare, and I’m not exaggerating—it’s the plain and sad reality. Havana and the rest of the country, I imagine, are in the same situation—so where did all the children go? |
Es difícil encontrar niños en las calles como hace 20 años; esas escenas de ellos jugando son bien escasas, y no exagero, es la pura y triste realidad. La Habana y el resto del país, imagino, estarán en iguales condiciones, ¿y a dónde se fueron los niños? |

"—so where did all the children go?"
"¿y a dónde se fueron los niños?"

|
It was and remains a country with a low birth rate, but migration has also played a role in this issue. |
De por sí era y es un país con bajo índice de natalidad, pero además la migración ha jugado su papel en este asunto. |

|
The fact is that not even at this ship modeling event I attended did I see as many children as I had expected. |
El caso es que ni aun en este evento de modelismo naval al que fui pude ver esa cantidad de niños que esperaba. |

Well, that’s our reality, and I’m documenting it as it unfolds; in other posts, I’ll share more on the topic. That’s all for now—thank you so much for reading. |
Pues nada, esa es nuestra realidad y por ese camino la voy documentando; en otros trabajos les comparto más del tema. Por ahora es todo, mil gracias por su compañía. |

Es una terrible realidad. 😔 las fotografías excelentes como siempre.
Si brother, vamos por un camino oscuro y sin esperanzas 😥
God forbid that this should happen, a country without children is a country without a future, a country without children's laughter and smiles is a country without happiness..... The photos are excellent as always, my dear friend!

That's right, my dear friend. Unfortunately, that's the path we're on in this country. I hope the future is different. Thank you for your kind comment. Hugs 🤗
