Greetings radicals. On today's show I'd like to tell you about a very worthy

charitable relief effort that I myself have had the privilege of being

involved in for almost five years now and ask you to consider making a financial

donation to this work. I'll describe all the details as we get into the

audio here but put simply I've been involved for again almost five years with a variety of relief efforts in the South American nation of Venezuela and that has taken a number of different shapes over the years again as I'll tell you about in a few minutes

uh... currently the most productive and effective effort that i've been involved in

has been to

provide food relief and agricultural relief by helping with gardening supplies

and to plant large gardens in various Venezuelan penitentiaries where there are many men,

primarily men and women imprisoned

in these Venezuelan penitentiaries.

And the opportunity and the need has now exceeded what I myself can give out of my own personal financial resources

So I'm bringing the request to you and asking you to contribute links Links are in the description

where you can go directly and make a credit card

donation or use PayPal, whichever is easier for you.

That money will get directly to me.

And as I'll describe in the audio coming up here, I'll describe what I'm going to do with the money and all those details but if any point in time you're ready to give please just go to that link and make a donation.

Let me begin with a little bit of backstory and I'll continue on from there to share

with you a little bit about the current work.

Long-time listeners to Radical Personal Finance know that I've had the opportunity to be involved

in a variety of different ways with some very important and effective relief efforts serving Venezuelan refugees.

I've had a great interest in Venezuela ever since 2005.
