"The loving that is the true self's nature comes with sharing and caring. No matter how loving you feel, if you do not share your love, then you will simply be feeding your ego. But if you are caring and sharing, your loving opens the personality. Then the exterior senses can be utilized by the Soul, so that we naturally see where best to invest our efforts for the greatest good of all.”
- John-Roger, D.S.S.
Children from the Bambi House in Venezuela
If you've been following the news lately, in particular relation to Venezuela, you'll have heard that there has been unbelievable hardships that have befallen the Venezuelans. Food is scarce, and for what little there is families may have to wait hours in line or pick at rotten meat in order to eat. Orphanages and hospitals do not have the medicines or basic supplies they need to properly care for those in their care. Family pets are being abandoned because their owners cannot care for them and are then starving in the streets.
All of this can be overwhelming and possibly even disheartening.
So what can be done? What can we do? Can we make an impact?
YES!
Join Us in our fun and joyful Service in Action Fundraiser for Venezuela!
Join the HeartFelt Foundation's fundraiser to aid various causes in Venezuela - and help those desperately in need.
This is a joyous celebration of the impact we all can make.
We'll have live music by local Venezuelan bands and DJs, Venezuelan inspired food and Venezuelan desserts, bags, jewelry, blankets and more for sale by some local Venezuelan artists, meditation and more!
All our events will be in English with live Spanish translation.
