Cómo Ayudar a Los Refugiados e Inmigrantes Venezolanos? Con Humanitarian Action.

Episodio Especial - Ayuda a refugiados e inmigrantes Venezolanos!

No hay forma de que este episodio no me conmueva y no me haga sentir dolor y a la vez orgullo por el país de donde vengo. Es una mezcla de sentimientos que sé que muchos de ustedes comparten!

Tuve el honor de conocer un poco más sobre una fundación que admiro y respeto muchísimo. Humanitarian Action es una non profit que se dedica a ayudar a Venezolanos dentro y fuera del país.

En el episodio hablé con una de sus co fundadoras, Marisela y con una de sus voluntarias Ana Gabriela. Las dos nos ayudan a entender cómo su propio camino de inmigración las ha motivado a ayudar a otros inmigrantes.

Conversamos sobre los retos que los inmigrantes y refugiados enfrentan en las fronteras, formas en las que todos podemos colaborar, la importancia de la hermandad entre todos los latinoamericanos para apoyarnos y sobre un viaje que estarán haciendo en Abril para ayudar a los inmigrantes en la frontera con Arizona!

“Be the change” A Refugee's Journey to America with Warda

Season 4 is HERE! YAY!!!

Warda is a Somali-American writer and in this week's episode, she is sharing with us the reality of her refugee experience in the USA.

Her journey has been challenging, full of barriers and losses, and at the same time, she has risen, healed, and developed resilience. She is a first-generation college student and she wrote a wonderful book where she shares her immigration journey!

What has helped Warda the most in her journey is being able to ask for help and connect with kind people that are willing to support her.

We all have so much to learn from Warda and her determination.

Thank you for joining us in another season!
