Encuentro con Maria Alejandra

The Fire in Portuguesa

Around 45 of our supporters came to meet and hear the story of Maria Alejandra Ramos, the founder of our primary partner SOS Somos Portuguesa. It was quite an inspiring experience to hear the stories firsthand of their work with children in Portuguesa.

Nuestra fundación ha sido creada en el año 2016 ante la necesidad que presentan los niños en Portuguesa. Es así como nos hemos organizado voluntariamente con médicos y hemos recolectado medicinas para asistir aproximadamente 1500 niños. Esta labor me ha llenado de gran alegría y ha sido muy satisfactoria a pesar de ser gran reto debido a las actuales condiciones en nuestro país.

A Message from Dr. Himiob

El Mito precede a la historia, él marcará el rumbo de lo que hacemos y define nuestro devenir, otorga sentido a quienes somos como personas y como sociedad.

De no ser así ¿Que lleva a una persona adulta, solvente, socialmente reconocida, con familia y estructura a dejarlo todo y aventurarse en la selva amazónica a buscar una quimera, una flor, una planta? O por mejor decir, a buscarse y encontrarse.

¿Cual será la necesidad de un grupo o un país a arriesgarse y a luchar por ideales mas trascendentes que los bastardos intereses monetarios, el éxito y el reconocimiento social.

El Abrazo de la Serpiente, la premiadísima coproducción Colombiana, Venezolana y Argentina de Ciro Guerra trata, por medio de la imagen, de dar respuesta estas preguntas y entender la aparente sinrazón del camino del héroe—y quizás de las naciones—para encontrase y cambiar el sentido de un mundo sólo guiado por el triunfalismo, el éxito y el dinero fácil. En ella valoramos el proceso expresado por los alquimistas Aurum Nostrum non est Aurum Vulgi. Aún cuando ello implique dejar lo que nos identifica y da pertenencia.

La proyección de la película tiene como objeto concienciar y aportar a la lucha del pueblo de Venezuela por recuperar su identidad, libertad y dignidad.

Gracias.

Gonzalo Himiob Almándoz
