THE LEFT BEHIND
The other victims of Human Mobility
In all the mass media, social networks, and even in our surroundings, we frequently see the crisis of Human Mobility worldwide. However, there are other silent and ignored victims of this Human drama: “Those Left Behind.”
People “Left Behind” is a new orphanage that is lived silently from migration: girls, boys, and older adults who live challenging years, alone, without resources for their subsistence and/or without a social environment that provides them assistance for their needs.
If migrants are part of those ignored by society, “Those Left Behind” are that part of society that is overlooked and made invisible. In other words, a chain of loneliness and vulnerability is created for children and elderly people in the face of the indifference of societies.
It is for this reason that we must also direct our eyes and efforts to all those people “Left Behind” to support them not only materially but also with a word of encouragement, hope, faith, reiterating that: They are not a “burden”, that they are not alone and they were not abandoned.
The campaign “Ensure a Balanced Lunch for Children Left Behind” is the Strategic assistance alliance created by Red Recuperación together with the Scalabrini International Migration Network (SIMN) as well as our commercial partners of Logistics and Distribution in Venezuela. Innovatively, this effective and guaranteed solution supplies the nutritional needs of Venezuelan boys and girls “Left Behind” at Risk who are cared for in the dining rooms and educational centers of the Scalabrinian Missionaries in Venezuela.

“As long as there is poverty in the world, as long as a part of humanity is hungry, thirsty, there will always be people who will tell their brothers: I am hungry, feed me; I’m thirsty, give me a drink, I’m naked, dress me, I’m in need, come to my aid”.
John Baptist Scalabrini February 16, 1905
