The social program La Ruta de la Esperanza arrived at the facilities of the Carlos Cruz-Diez Museum of Printing and Design (MEDI), located on Avenida Bolívar in Caracas, to develop a recreational and cultural day of comprehensive care. The activity was especially aimed at the boys and girls of the urban planning Los 5 Héroes Cubanos, who are temporarily under shelter in temporary camps set up in the vicinity of the museum complex following the double earthquake that occurred last June 24.

This community support initiative was implemented in a coordinated manner between the MEDI, the Museum of Fine Arts (MBA) and the Science Museum (MUCI). The artistic deployment attended to a group of 30 boys, girls and adolescents between the ages of 4 and 16, who had the opportunity to actively participate in various training workshops on painting, drawing and coloring within the areas of the venue.

During the event, Ingrid Briceño, facilitator of the program and representative of the Science Museum, highlighted the value of this institutional effort as a solidarity contribution from the country's cultural spaces.

The spokeswoman explained that this day constitutes the second activity of its kind carried out in the sector, and confirmed the commitment of the teams of guides and specialists to go to any space where they are invited to share museum knowledge with children who are going through this contingency.

The general planning of the event recalled that The Route of Hope is a proposal articulated by different entities of the National Government with the purpose of offering tools for emotional recovery in the face of the psychological impact derived from the seismic event.

Through artistic, sporting and recreational dynamics, the project seeks to re-establish the social fabric, promote the reunion of affected families and transform uncertainty or fear into spaces of collective healing and mutual solidarity.
