Following the earthquake that struck Venezuela on June 24, the Congregation, through the Province of Latin America, launched a Hospitality Solidarity Mission in Venezuela<\/strong>, with the aim of accompanying affected individuals and families, particularly through mental health care and support.<\/p>\n

The project, planned to last two months, is being carried out in collaboration with the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God, the Red Cross, and other congregations<\/strong>, seeking to offer a close and supportive presence in places where pain, uncertainty, and loss remain part of everyday life.<\/p>\n

Being There When It Is Needed Most<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

On August 18, Sister Lucy Campos, Sister Ana Luc\u00eda Castro, and Carlos Daniel Polo, a psychologist from Cl\u00ednica La Inmaculada in Bogot\u00e1<\/strong>, set out for Venezuela to begin this mission. Upon their arrival in Valencia, they were welcomed by Brother Jos\u00e9 Daniel, Superior of the community, and Brother \u00c1ngel Carvajal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During their first few days, the community at Hospital San Juan de Dios offered them hospitality and a warm welcome, helping them feel at home while gaining a close understanding of the reality they had come to accompany.<\/p>\n

On August 20, together with volunteers and members of the humanitarian brigade, they began visiting different areas of La Guaira. In Catia La Mar<\/strong>, they met families who were still living in tents and provided psychosocial and spiritual support, as well as essential food supplies. In Playa Verde<\/strong>, on the shores of the Caribbean Sea, they distributed clothing, water, food, and medication, while also beginning psychological support for affected families.<\/p>\n

There, they also met the teacher of Rinc\u00f3n de Luz School<\/strong>, who welcomes 35 children and young people between the ages of 2 and 15 into her own home. An agreement was reached with her to provide psychosocial and spiritual support to this educational community.<\/p>\n

The mission continued in Maiquet\u00eda<\/strong>, where they visited Hospital San Jos\u00e9, run by the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor of Maiquet\u00eda. There, they met with Sister Ignacia Cordero<\/strong>, Superior of the community, and other sisters. The hospital continues to provide care in tents set up outside its facilities. The team delivered food and water and agreed to organize a meeting with families in the area.<\/p>\n

Hospitality That Accompanies and Sustains<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The mission also focuses on caring for those who provide healthcare every day. For this reason, Belkis, Head of Human Resources at Hospital San Juan de Dios<\/strong>, coordinated with the team to organize psychosocial and spiritual support sessions for hospital staff.<\/p>\n

This first stage provided an opportunity to draw closer to a complex and deeply painful reality. Behind every affected family are loss, fear, uncertainty, and the need to feel accompanied. In the face of this reality, Hospitality becomes a presence: drawing close to those who are hurting, listening to them, and reminding them that they are not alone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The mission will continue over the coming weeks in different communities in the central-eastern region of La Guaira, including Caraballeda, Los Corales, and Tanaguarena<\/strong>, bringing accompaniment, listening, and hope.<\/p>\n

Every Gesture Can Be a Way of Accompanying Others<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Solidarity can also be expressed from afar. Every gesture matters<\/strong>: praying, sharing this reality, standing alongside those who are suffering, or making a financial contribution can help sustain this mission and continue bringing hope to affected families.<\/p>\n

Donations can be made through:<\/p>\n

Bank transfer:<\/strong> ES81 0049 1821 0724 1063 9312
Bizum:<\/strong> 02732<\/p>\n

Reference:<\/strong> VENEZUELA or COLOMBIA
Donor’s ID (DNI):<\/strong> Please provide DNI
Telephone:<\/strong> 659566805<\/p>\n

Today, more than ever, we are called to make solidarity a concrete presence. Because accompanying others is also a way of healing, and being close is a form of Hospitality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
