Help Without Borders for Venezuela is a non-profit organization that seeks to help the most vulnerable sectors of our community.
Founded in 2017 under the principle that every human being is capable of helping the world to be a better place. Every little count, and together we are more.
We started supporting two NGOs in Venezuela and today there are more than ten to which we are constantly sending our contributions.
We are focused on helping two sectors: the jewelers and artisans who create their pieces that are sold through the organization to collect the funds - all the pieces are 100% from Venezuelan artists and collaborators-, and these funds are distributed among several organized communities and NGOs that are dedicated to helping and dealing with the crisis in various sectors.
The Story of the Hummingbird
One day a terrible fire broke out in a forest – a huge woodland was suddenly engulfed by a raging wildfire. Frightened, all the animals fled their homes and ran out of the forest.
As they came to the edge of a stream they stopped to watch the fire and they were feeling very discouraged and powerless. They were all bemoaning the destruction of their homes. Every one of them thought there was nothing they could do about the fire, except for one little hummingbird.
This particular hummingbird decided it would do something. It swooped into the stream and picked up a few drops of water and went into the forest and put them on the fire. Then it went back to the stream and did it again, and it kept going back, again and again, and again.
All the other animals watched in disbelief; some tried to discourage the hummingbird with comments like, "Don't bother, it is too much, you are too little, your wings will burn, your beak is too tiny, it’s only a drop, you can't put out this fire." And as the animals stood around disparaging the little bird’s efforts, the bird noticed how hopeless and forlorn they looked.
Then one of the animals shouted out and challenged the hummingbird in a mocking voice, "What do you think you are doing?" And the hummingbird, without wasting time or losing a beat, looked back and said,
"I am doing what I can."
