I want to begin this beautiful and fascinating initiative of
Many years ago as I mentioned in a previous post I started working with Young Adults as I affectionately call them, this has been a whole new experience for me since I came from working with teenagers, but when I was told that I should work with this group of people I did not hesitate to do it, on the contrary, it was something wonderful to put it in words, love at first sight, from the beginning there was a connection of affection and brotherly love for all those people who make up this team.
Una de las cosas que me motiva a emprender es aquello que dijo Teresa de Calcuta ayudar al necesitado no solo en lo emocional, mental y espiritual , sino también en las necesidades básicas como alimentación, vestido y calzado y , para este propósito nació en mi corazón una idea de formar un grupo de apoyo donde mensualmente cada integrante aportaría una cuota de acuerdo con sus posibilidades, es de mencionar, que ésta sería usada para comprar alimentos en su primera instancia, recuerdo que al principio nos alcanzó para preparar doce bolsas y llevar un poco de alegría a doce familias, sobretodo a los Adultos Jóvenes, que muchas veces se sienten como cargas en la casa , que no aportan y desde esa perspectiva surgió este Ministerio llamado "Dios ama a los Ancianos".
Así lo hice por varios años, hasta que Venezuela atravesó una gran crisis económica y el dinero no nos alcanzaba para seguir ayudando de esta forma. Pero nunca dejé de seguir soñando y creyendo que algún día volvería a retomar ese programa que tanto amo ya que muchas sonrisas pude ver reflejada en los rostros de muchos ancianos e inclusive habían días que hasta lágrimas corrían por sus rostros de la alegría. Que mejor motivo para emprender que ver el rosto iluminado de aquellas personas tan hermosas como los Adultos Mayores.
One of the things that motivates me to undertake is what Teresa of Calcutta said, to help the needy not only emotionally, mentally and spiritually, but also in basic needs such as food, clothing and footwear, and for this purpose was born in my heart an idea to form a support group where each member would contribute a monthly fee according to their possibilities, I remember that at the beginning it was enough to prepare twelve bags and bring a little joy to twelve families, especially to the Young Adults, who often feel like a burden in the house, who do not contribute and from that perspective this Ministry called "God Loves the Elderly" was born.
I did this for several years, until Venezuela went through a great economic crisis and the money was not enough to continue helping in this way. But I never stopped dreaming and believing that someday I would return to resume this program that I love so much because I could see many smiles reflected on the faces of many elderly and there were even days that even tears ran down their faces with joy. What better reason to start than to see the illuminated faces of such beautiful people as the Elderly.
Primeramente quiero agradecer a Dios por permitirme nuevamente realizar aquello que me apasiona y llevar alegría a mis Adultos Jóvenes con la puesta en marcha de mi Emprendimiento " Dios ama a los ancianos" después de tantos años paralizado pero gracias a las recompensas que obtengo #hive pude en esta oportunidad dar inicio con la compra de seis harinas y medo cartón de huevo los cuales fueron entregados a seis Adultos jóvenes quienes sintieron mucha alegría, aunque parezca pequeño para mí es muy emocionante y gratificante ver que todo es posible con tan sólo pequeños gestos de solidaridad. Esto ha sido un gran comienzo y confío que en la medida del tiempo pueda seguir creciendo y llevando mucha más alegría a mis adultos mayores. .
First of all I want to thank God for allowing me to do again what I am passionate about and bring joy to my Young Adults with the launching of my "God loves the elderly" Entrepreneurship after so many years paralyzed but thanks to the rewards I get #hive I could start this time with the purchase of six flours and half a carton of eggs which were delivered to six young adults who felt much joy, although it seems small for me it is very exciting and rewarding to see that everything is possible with just small gestures of solidarity. This has been a great beginning and I trust that as time goes by it will continue to grow and bring much more joy to my older adults.
Emprendo con amor y lleno de satisfacción viviré.
To conclude my greatest motivation to undertake is the love manifested not only with words but with deeds and actions that go beyond the trivial and everyday to a sincere, genuine love, full of truth and sincerity from my Young Adults to whom I am indebted for so many teachings and life experiences that I have received throughout all these years as someone said that we are the sum of our actions.
I undertake with love and full of satisfaction I will live.
