Caring and committed local actor

By Gianna

Do you know anybody who helps other people? Well, Lito Cruz is one of them. He is a famous actor and he was born in Berisso. Despite his work, he has time to help the people of his town.

When he was little, Lito lived in Nueva York Street with his family, when that place next to the port received the immigrants. The operation of the meat processing plants was very important there because it gave work to a lot of people. When the factories closed, the neighbourhood lost splendour.

Some time ago groups of neighbours joined to recover their neighbourhood. Among those people was Lito Cruz. He told the story of the Nueva York Street in front of the president. So they declared that Street a “National Monument”. For that reason Lito is committed to recover the Nueva York Street.

He had an interview with the headmasters of the Number 9 School and the Number 12 Secondary School. They talked about the project to recover that special place. About the plans of the neighbourhood, Cruz said that the provincial authorities are thinking about the work to do in the Nueva York Street, which includes home repairs, new lights and repair to sidewalks and streets.

“Now it is time for the people from Berisso, the town hall and the people from the schools to carry out this stage to recover our loved street,” said Lito. His dream and the other people’s dream is to see the Nueva York Street as a place full of life and a tourist and cultural centre, active with work.

With these things Lito Cruz, the famous actor who was born in Berisso, shows us his love for his town and the people who live here.
