International support for ISKCON Venezuela’s earthquake relief efforts has strengthened with the arrival of two Food For All UK volunteers, who are now working alongside local devotees to expand the ongoing Food for Life prasadam distribution for communities devastated by the recent earthquakes.
According to a recent social media post, Nitilaksa Dasa and Loka Saranga Dasa traveled from the United Kingdom on July 4, organized by Parasuram Dasa and the Food For All UK Headquarters. In addition to bringing financial assistance raised by supporters, the team delivered 30 kilograms of spices to help sustain the large-scale cooking operation serving those displaced by the disaster.
Since the disaster, ISKCON devotees in Venezuela have been serving tirelessly to meet the incredible needs in their country. The FFL-UK volunteers have joined the ISKCON Food for Life program in Caracas, helping prepare and distribute freshly cooked prasadam to families whose homes were damaged or destroyed. Many residents continue to shelter in temporary tents erected in streets and public parks while recovery efforts continue.
The volunteers are currently serving in La Guaira, one of the regions most severely affected by the earthquakes, where devotees have been working alongside local authorities and emergency responders to provide nourishing meals to both survivors and those assisting with the recovery.
