Help give support to the people of Venezuela

Join in a great Saturday afternoon. Speakers who will be there are active in Venezuela, and in the solidarity movement in the United Kingdom, United States,  and Australia.

An Australian delegation Venezuela earlier this year and was privileged to participate in discussions with communities in different parts of this beautiful country. These communities told the Australians their story.

They asked for practical help with the means to build their capacity to grow. A special example, was to raise money to build a childcare centre.

Some prizes will be raffled. The money raised will go towards this project. A special prize is a bottle of very top shelf Diplomat rum. There is also a bottle of Havana Club. The other great prizes are a framed print of the late Hug Chavez and two bottles of good wine from Chile.

But the main purpose is to hear about what is currently going on in this country and to join the chat with other participants.
