For these children, the earthquakes in Venezuela changed everything

In Venezuela, ten-year-old Maria and her thirteen-year-old brother Damian have been profoundly impacted by recent earthquakes that destroyed their home in Caraballeda. After losing their mother, the siblings were taken in by their aunt, Mercedes Osul, who now cares for them while navigating her own grief over her sister's death. While Maria finds solace in candy, Damian retreats into soccer, spending his days at makeshift playgrounds in temporary shelters. Experts emphasize the importance of creating 'Child Friendly Spaces' where children can engage in play and group activities to begin processing trauma. Organizations like UNICEF and World Vision are establishing such spaces, offering both children and caregivers support to aid in emotional recovery and rebuilding lives.
