1. Resilience and Hope Amid Challenges (Context):
While the daily economic realities in Venezuela present major challenges, at SOCIEVEN’s Model Home, we don't slow down—we rise above! Fueled by an unwavering spirit and our incredible collaborative team—including volunteers, members, allies, people with deafblindness, and their families—we transform every hurdle into a stepping stone for joy and service. Your vital fundraising support is the bright light that keeps this beautiful sanctuary of inclusion operating. Together, we are proving that when hearts connect, no barrier is too high to overcome!
2. Celebrating Milestones with Joy! (January - May Impact):
Threads that transform lives! As we joyfully celebrate our 31st Anniversary, the SOCIEVEN National Network (RNS) has brought smiles and critical aid across Venezuela, delivering 252 impactful direct and indirect services. We are thrilled to share that your generosity directly touched the lives of 247 inspiring individuals (139 passionate professionals, 58 resilient people with deafblindness, 27 individuals with other disabilities, and 23 dedicated family members) in collaboration with 42 wonderful institutions:
Shining Internationally: In a permanent alliance with ICEVI Latin America, we are training 20 professionals from 8 different countries in pre-linguistic communication. SOCIEVEN’s expertise is proudly uplifting communities across the entire continent!
In Each Knot, a Purpose: We have contacted 28 institutions and companies; everything is ready for the wonderful "Echo of Hands" Weaving Exhibition and the "Dinner of the Senses" at the Los Galpones Art Center, touching hearts through art and empathy to raise funds. All of this is part of the program celebrating Deafblindness Awareness Month in June 2026, supporting the "Let Me In" Campaign by Deafblind International (DBI) and "Create/Connect" to raise awareness about deafblindness in Venezuela and around the world.
