The speaker, Alex Tienda, shares the success of a fundraising campaign called "Thank You Venezuela" that he and his team organized. The campaign was aimed at raising funds to support the children of the Petare community in Venezuela. The team had set a goal of $25,000, but they exceeded this amount significantly, raising more than four times the initial target.
The funds raised will be managed by a non-governmental association that supports people in the Petare community, particularly children and homeless individuals. This group of Venezuelans is in partnership with media travelers and Alexandra, who represents media travelers. The funds will be used to provide support for children with various pathologies, families with deficiencies, and support for nursing homes, among other initiatives.
The money will be distributed over a period of time, from now until December, to ensure efficient use. The team has created a website, thankyouvenezuela.com, where donors can find information about the campaign, the actions being carried out, and how they can continue to support. The website also answers frequently asked questions about the management of the funds.
In addition to financial support, the team encourages donors to support in other ways, such as donating items or offering their skills. They also urge supporters to spread the good actions being done and to provide information when they encounter misinformation or doubt about the campaign. The team is grateful for the support they received, which made the campaign a success.
