[ESP - ENG] Mi experiencia donando a una Casa Hogar | My experience donating to a Children's Home.

¡Hola amigos de Hive! Hoy quiero contarles una experiencia que tuvimos mi familia y yo al llevar algunas cosas que ya no utilizabamos a una Casa Hogar.

Hello Hive friends! Today I want to tell you about an experience my family and I had when we took some things we no longer used to a Children's Home.

Al principio de la pandemia junto a el encierro, hicieron que me diera cuenta de que en mi casa estaba llena de cosas que no utilizabamos, por lo que mi mamá y yo nos pusimos a clasificar: botar lo que no servía y apartar lo que estaba en buen estado para donarlo, puesto que siempre hemos querido hacer este bonito gesto para esos niños que se encuentran en refugios o en condición de calle.

At the beginning of the pandemic together with the confinement, made me realize that my house was full of things that we did not use, so my mom and I started to classify: throw away what was useless and set aside what was in good condition to donate it, since we have always wanted to make this nice gesture for those children who are in shelters or in street conditions.

En Enero de este año unas primas nos comentaron sobre una Children's Home en donde ya ellas habían donado anteriormente. Coordinamos todo para ir y al llegar nos topamos con la sorpresa de que estaban remodelando la casa, los niños no estaban ahí y nos tuvimos que regresar, nos dijeron que la iban a inaugurar el 10 de Marzo y podíamos ir después de esa fecha.

In January of this year some cousins told us about a Children's Home where they had donated before. We coordinated everything to go and when we arrived we were surprised to find that they were remodeling the house, the children were not there and we had to go back, they told us that they were going to inaugurate it on March 10th and we could go after that date.

Pasaron los días y debido a las restricciones aquí en Venezuela por el Covid-19 tuvimos que esperar que hubiera una semana flexible para poder ir de nuevo a la Casa Hogar, ya que queda en otro Municipio y los accesos estaban restringidos.

The days passed and due to the restrictions here in Venezuela because of Covid-19 we had to wait for a flexible week to be able to go to the Children's Home again, since it is in another municipality and access was restricted.

Hoy nuevamente pudimos ir y entregar los donativos, fuimos tres primas, mi mamá y yo. Logramos reunir, comida, artículos de limpieza y aseo personal; ropa además de muchísimos juguetes.

Al llegar nos atendieron dos señores muy amables, pero nos comentaron que los niños no estaban porque se habían ido de paseo a un parque. De igual modo, recibieron la donación y nos hicieron un tour por la casa remodelada, nos explicaron muchísimas cosas. La casa había quedado muy bonita, y mis primas que ya habían ido antes, comentaron que la diferencia de como estaba antes a ahora es significativa.

Today again we were able to go and deliver the donations: three cousins, my mom and me. We were able to collect food, cleaning and personal hygiene items, clothes and lots of toys.

When we arrived we were attended by two very nice gentlemen, but they told us that the children were not there because they had gone for a walk to a park. In the same way, they received the donation and gave us a tour of the remodeled house, they explained a lot of things to us. The house was very nice, and my cousins, who had been there before, commented that the difference between how it was before and how it is now is significant.

Esta casa lleva por nombre: Casa Hogar San Juan Bautista y está ubicada en el Municipio Carrizal, Miranda, Venezuela. Actualmente tienen 13 niños entre hembras y varones. Nos hubiese encantado poder conocer a los niños, pero seguro estaban disfrutando de su paseo un montón.

This home is called: Children's Home San Juan Bautista and is located in the Municipality of Carrizal, Miranda, Venezuela, and currently has 13 children between females and males. We would have loved to meet the children, but I'm sure they were enjoying their outing a lot.

Estas experiencias son sumamente enriquecedoras para uno como persona, ya que no hay nada más gratificante para el alma que ayudar a alguien que lo necesita. Particularmente me encanta ayudar, me considero una persona muy servicial y quería hacer esto desde hace mucho tiempo, aunque antes ya había regalado otras cosas, yo no entregaba la donación sino que lo hacía un tercero que era el que se encargaba de reunir todo para luego entregarla, entonces siempre tuve el deseo de ir a una Casa Hogar y entregar la donación personalmente.

These experiences are extremely enriching for one as a person, since there is nothing more rewarding for the soul than helping someone in need. I particularly love to help, I consider myself a very helpful person and I wanted to do this for a long time, although I had already given away other things before, I did not deliver the donation but a third party who was in charge of gathering everything to then deliver it, then I always had the desire to go to a Children's Home and deliver the donation personally.

Mi familia y yo estamos planificando nuevamente ir de para la Casa Hogar, hacer alguna otra labor social, llevar algo para compartir con los niños como también ir a otros lugares y espero poder compartir toda esa experiencia con ustedes. Para ayudar no hace falta aportar algo grande, las personas que verdaderamente necesitan ayuda no les importará si es mucho o poco sino la intención

My family and I are planning again to go to the Children's Home, to do some other social work, to bring something to share with the children and also to go to other places and I hope to be able to share all this experience with you. In order to help, it is not necessary to contribute something big, the people who really need help will not care if it is a lot or a little but the intention.

¡Gracias por leer mi post y nos vemos pronto! | Thanks for reading my post and see you soon!
