When a reporter El Universal called me up to interview me for the 99th anniversary edition of the paper I was flattered. I’ve been in this country so long, most of my Venezuelan friends consider me “Gringa” and though I’m a proud co-founder and CCO of the vox collective, I can’t really say that I’ve done anything that deserved this kind of special recognition from my country of birth. This left me thinking, what could i do for my paternal country. How could I best serve Venezuela from my unique position on the outside. Could others do the same with out becoming some sort of partisan group with a political agenda? I believe it is possible to do good without serving a politically polarizing agenda. I believe sustainable positive change be fostered by actively pooling together the right resources, be it limited to social services and communication arts. I’ll be spinning my wheels to see what i can do on this front. If you have an opinion on the subject or would like to get actively involved in “doing good” for Venezuela with out a political agenda feel free to contact me at sjaramillo@thevoxcollective.com
