The BORAH Charity organization coordinator for the Bogata Area in Colombia , Nasly Del Carmen Viloria de Arco reports: < br /> On Sunday, September 23, 2018, the first donation to Venezuelans in Bogota took place at the El Salitre ground transportation terminal. With support from the BORAH Charity Organization and its team of volunteers (Nasly, Miriam, Jolber, Maryori, Esteban, Margelis and Duvis, who arrived at this place at 11:59 with the following: food such as: boxed milk, boxed juices, bread, mortadella, yogurt, oatmeal, biscuits, butter, personal hygiene items such as bath soaps and laundry detergents, shaving sticks, cotton swaps, toothpaste, toothbrushes, toilet paper, moist wipes and deodorants.

The volunteers were touched by the sadness on the faces of the people they saw: children, pregnant women, women heads of household, the elderly, young people with nowhere to go, without work, having to sleep in the open air, exposed to the cold of the night with little shelter, being discriminated against by many people here. We had the opportunity to hear about their journey to Colombia; many came walking from Venezuela for many days to get to Colombia, with blood blisters on their feet. Most of them have left their families and work in Venezuela to try to survive. . .

They arrive in Colombia without knowing what to do next or where to look for help. I was touched when two young Venezuelan women approached me to ask some money to buy a bag of candy to resell in order to have a little money and so buy some basic items. What we saw of these people was very touching. We finished the delivery at 2:10 p.m. and then shared a snack while talked over our experiences on this today. We are deeply thankful to God, and also to Borah, Wisdom Adio. and all the team of volunteers who made this noble Cause possible.
