Why Venezuela : Venezuela is in the midst of an unprecedented economic and political crisis marked by severe food and medicine shortages, soaring crime rates, and an increasingly authoritarian executive. Because of the inflation their currency has little or no value. Medicine and food is very hard to come by and little things like school supplies, treats, clothing is very scares.

How will we ship the donations : We will be using a shipping company called Omega Trading Cargo. They are trusted and reliable and will be bring our donations straight to the church. Because of the situation in Venezuela, it is very hard to ship to the country and this company guarantees the delivery. The price for shipping is 7$ per pound. We will try to ship as much as we can. |
