Our Hope for Venezuelan Refugees team was delighted to meet and host Rotarian Lorena Gloden from the Perrysburg Rotary Club and her family, during their recent visit to Cúcuta. Lorena had the opportunity to attend the weekly meeting of our partners the Rotary Club Cúcuta 1, and reunite with old family friends☺
