Tens of thousands of people are missing under rubble in Venezuela while American sanctions are blocking rescue operations and the media is ignoring it.
Many rubbished the idea of a 48 team World Cup, but what it has done is given less heralded countries a platform to show the world what they can do. And look how they have succeeded! Giving more countries a fair chance is a key lesson, not just for sports, but the world at large.
It’s fascinating that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad.
As corny as it may sound, the World Cup is one of those events that not only brings people of various ethnicities & nationalities together but also shows precisely just how much we actually crave community, need & want internationalism and shows just how united we can be.
For my non-Venezuelan oomf, I want you to understand just how serious the situation is in my country. Venezuela doesn't even have an earthquake early warning system. There are rescuers using the flashlight on their cell phones to search for survivors in the rubble
the situation venezuela is going through is so painful and devastating, praying for those affected🙏
