Venezuela

It’s in your hands to make a difference

Yaneira

Caracas, the principal city of Venezuela is becoming more violent every year. This situation significantly impacts children from disadvantaged communities who are forced to stay away from school and their families due to domestic abuse or violence and at least one – if not both parents, being incarcerated in prison.

Aspen Venezuela again chose to support the Foundation Casa Hogar San José, an NPO that cares for 18 children.

Volunteers carried out routine maintenance at the institution and enjoyed leisure time activities that included a visit from a magician and a delicious meal for the very grateful children.

The South Africa Embassy’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Her Excellency Ms. Shope-Linney again joined the Aspen team in commemoration of this special event.
