Hello dear @wakeupkitty.pal, I will try to explain my best.
Good to read how project Hope is doing. I asked several times but never received an answer. The complete text I find a bit confusing.
I created the original project @crypto.piotr in order to support people who had difficulties to grow on the steemit platform, the same piotr explains that he started helping people from Africa and different nationalities including Venezuelans.
Now, what you see in the publication is an initiative that tries to take project hope out of the chain, what I'm trying to do is give people in my country some of what I'm getting here (it's not much I get), in that process involve some leaders and we begin to give a contribution to the needy people in my country, logically starting with Uracoa, (I hope this expands) and if this grows over time we will increase our action and grow the number of people reached .
in the streets of Venezuela, = your small village?
With this I do not intend to give solutions to the problems that the country is going through, however, this initiative will benefit people with food, medicine, clothing, etc. needs. As you saw in the pictures the food delivered is not much, but I assure you that for that family it was all they had to eat.
On the other hand, we do not have the resources to serve everyone in Venezuela, but starting with Uracoa it is possible that in the future we will be able to reach other cities.
so that each willing believer, who has the possibility to help bring his contribution.
and only for those who are Christians or belong to your church?
I can tell you that the family that initially received the benefit does not attend any Church. When I speak of committed Christians, I am saying that the first ones committed to helping and delivering a contribution are them, it may not explain me well.
The pastors are responsible for assessing the needs in the area, identifying the family that will be benefited, bringing the proposal and then managing the help for that family regardless of whether it is Christian or not.
Hunger in Venezuela does not discriminate sex, color, education or religion, we do not have to discriminate, only that aid is now limited, we would like to have the resources to reach more people, but we ourselves are struggling not to leave the country because of the crisis and what we do is try to help those who seem most bulnerable.
Somehow it hurts that only Christians get help. You let the rest drop dead and also do not accept help / gifts from not Christians?
I think I have responded to this but I do it again. Hunger in Venezuela does not discriminate, nor are we going to discriminate when we help.
We also accept help from anyone, in fact, we are organizing to involve some merchants in the area who are willing to help.
What I am presenting is just the beginning of a project that will go further. Thank you for your questions and suggestions, it is very important for me your intervention as well as that of all those interested in the project, I hope this clarifies your doubts and if you have any more questions, please let me know and I will gladly answer you.
