We discovered this news through Jazoera, the newsletter from the Eusko Etxea in Caracas. The newsletter focuses on a solidarity-based initiative carried out by several Basque-Venezuelans at the heart of the San Francisco Javier Association. For another year, now in its 28th, the association has traveled to Paramo de Siete Lagunas (3,400 meters above sea level) to bring dental and pediatric aid to its residents. The initiative was born thanks to the residents of the area, who helped with the rescue of a crashed plane that killed students from the San Jose school, where the founder of the association, Jon San Juan Echevarrieta, studied.
