The tough situation my beloved Venezuela is going through is no secret to anyone, but being here and living it is another level of concern and it is that ultimately some are more vulnerable than others.
En mi urbanización decidimos unir esfuerzos y hacer una gran sopa, envasar y salir a repartir por las calles de Caracas a la gente que viéramos en condiciones más críticas.
In my urbanization, we decided to join forces and make a great soup, pack it and go out to distribute the people we saw in more critical conditions through the streets of Caracas.
El tema alimentación es, en general, muy sensible pero cuando te toca escoger a quien darle y a quien no (porque no sabíamos si nos iba a alcanzar) lo es aún más, y es allí cuando toca ponerse la mano en el corazón y entender que si te ves a primera vista (físicamente) bien eso no quiere decir que en tú estómago haya comida y que realmente estés como la impresión que das.
The issue of food is, in general, very sensitive but when you have to choose who to give and who not to (because we did not know if it would reach us) it is even more so, and that is when you have to put your hand on your heart and understand If you see yourself at first glance (physically) well that does not mean that there is food in your stomach and that you really are like the impression you give.
Así que, simplemente a todo el que íbamos viendo le íbamos dando una sopa, hasta donde se pudo, hasta donde nos alcanzó. Fue una experiencia plenamente enriquecedora para nuestro espíritu y fortalecimos nuestra solidaridad para que siga siendo indomable y para que sin mirar lo mucho o poco que tengamos siempre estemos dispuestos a ayudar al prójimo.
So, we were simply giving everyone we were seeing a soup, as far as possible, as far as we could. It was a fully enriching experience for our spirit and we strengthened our solidarity so that it continues to be indomitable and so that without looking at how much or how little we have, we are always willing to help others.
Si tienen la oportunidad de servir y ayudar, sin esperar nada a cambio, por favor no duden en hacerlo.
If you have the opportunity to serve and help, without expecting anything in return, please do not hesitate to do so.
