IN the days following the violent 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that crumbled parts of Venezuela, killing hundreds and stranding several more beneath the rubble, Venezuelan migrants living in Trinidad and Tobago have come together to lend a helping hand to their homeland in a time of crisis.
Regular working migrants mobilised over the last few days, collecting a number of necessary items such as food and medicine, with the intent of transporting them to Venezuela via boat even as the Government continues to organise its national aid drive.
Between Thursday and Sunday, the Express was told, several cardboard boxes of items donated by the migrant community had been filled. They were collected at least six points across the country by small business owners, or volunteers.
