Help clothe Venezuelan refugees for their travels
Donation protected
Hey everyone, I’m currently volunteering at a project called on the ground international in Pamplona, Colombia. This project helps assist with Venezuelan refugees who are fleeing their home, in search for a better life. There are different shelters along their journey that assist with basic needs to help them get to where they’re going. These shelters are functioning by donations, so it doesn’t leave much room for more necessary things like clothes and shoes to make their journey. What inspired me to do this is, witnessing 6 men with very little clothing, (one without shoes) being told about their next journey they will have to make, which will be a 10 hr hike up the mountain to the next refugee shelter. And that’s just to the next one. So this broke my heart and what broke my heart even more, was all of the refugees that came before them that didn’t have much resource to clothes as well. I saw 6 lives that were effected out of many many more who made the journey before them. As of now there’s a cold front coming in, and there’s a part of their travels to come that’s high in elevation and many have died because of the cold. I ask you if you’re able to give to this organization, I will show hands on where your money is going and lives will be saved here as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I hope you are as moved as I am and we can make some change happen here!
