Trina Frometa, a Venuzuelan dancer in California on a scholarship, danced a story of violence and chaos for the benefit of her Subud brothers and sisters, including her own family, who are starving in Caracas. The collapse of justice and the takeover of the government by the totalitarian leftist regime of Nicolás Maduro, coupled with economic chaos and inflation rates as high as 800 percent resulting from the plummeting price of petroleum, Venezuela’s only only big foreign trade commodity, has left more than 80 percent of the people, educated and uneducated alike, in the grip of grueling poverty
Trina offered her dance at Subud California’s congress earlier this month to benefit a project started recently by Henrietta Haines, Office Manager of Subud California, to bring relief to those suffering—and in just one evening was able to bring in around a thousand dollars, which is being used to send food.
