Venezuelan health authorities announced that they will require proof of yellow fever vaccination for travelers to the states of Aragua, Lara, Portuguesa, and Barinas, given the upcoming Easter holiday and the 36 confirmed cases in the country.

Those wishing to visit these states will need to carry proof of yellow fever vaccination, obtained at least 10 days prior to travel, as confirmed by Vice President for Health, Isabel Iturria.

On the other hand, they recommend that people visiting these western regions use insect repellent and wear long-sleeved clothing, especially in wooded areas, to reduce the risk of bites.

This measure from the Ministry of Health responds to a “health alert” confirmed by the authorities, who have detected 36 cases of the disease since June 2025. “The outbreak is concentrated mainly in 22 parishes in the aforementioned states, with Barinas being the region with the highest rate of infection.” Recently, the ministry launched a nationwide vaccination campaign to protect the population.

The industrial sector in Lara State, Venezuela, has shown a slow but steady reactivation, according to Joel Segura, president of the Federation of Chambers and Associations of Commerce of the region, who spoke last week.

According to Fedecámaras Lara, “after a period of inactivity, the metalworking industry in the state restarted operations within the framework of the hydrocarbon investments announced for the country.”

According to Segura, the reactivation of the metalworking industry has begun, “which served the oil sector, basic industries, and sugar production, including high-level foundries.”

The union leader clarified, however, that the sector’s reactivation is progressing “slowly but steadily.” They have started the search of skilled labor, “primarily engineers in the fields of electricity, mechanics, electronics, computer science, and chemistry; as well as professionals in administration and logistics specialists.”

The goal is for this reopening to help boost the reactivation of other economic sectors such as commerce and construction.

This January 14th, the heartbeats of hundreds of thousands of people will unite in Barquisimeto to honor the Divina Pastora. In a massive pilgrimage, considered one of the largest in the world alongside those of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexico) and Our Lady of Fatima (Portugal), hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans walk from the town of Santa Rosa to the Barquisimeto Cathedral.

With faith and carrying the image of the Divina Pastora (Divine Shepherdess), perhaps printed on a t-shirt or a scarf, but surely deeply rooted in their hearts, many of these faithful walk carrying in their wallets or pockets the special edition Bancamiga Debit Card, with a design alluding to the Divina Pastora.

Since Bancamiga began distributing the cards last Friday, more than 3,000 customers have requested them, expressing their gratitude to the institution for its support of the celebration.

With this financial instrument, people can pay at national and international points of sale, make online purchases quickly and securely, withdraw cash from international ATMs, and subscribe to streaming platforms. The card is issued exclusively at the following branches: Barquisimeto Centro, Crepuscular Shopping Center; Bancamiga Este, Ciudad París Shopping Center; and Mercabar, Industrial Zone III, ITC Shopping Center.

Support and hydration for the faithful community

During the procession on January 14, Bancamiga set up an igloo to support the faithful, and on Vargas Avenue at the corner of Venezuela Avenue, dozens of its employees distributed water, tangerines, and fans from a platform.

Also, from this Thursday until Saturday, January 17, the Bancamiga Mobile unit will conduct a special banking outreach event in the vicinity of the Barquisimeto Cathedral. This is an opportunity for people to open accounts in bolivars and foreign currency with minimal requirements: national identity card, valid Taxpayer Identification Number (RIF), telephone number, and personal email address; receive a Mastercard Debit Card; or acquire modern point-of-sale terminals.

Since January 5th, with the lowering of the sacred image of the Divina Pastora in Santa Rosa, Venezuelans have been experiencing the moment with fervor. For Bancamiga, being present at the Divina Pastora celebrations is a way to reinforce its commitment to the country’s values ​​and traditions.

The civil association Opción Venezuela will present this coming June 8 the results of its Educational Network for Sustainable Entrepreneurship program. Its execution is possible thanks to the Social Investment Fund, the flagship program of Venezuela sin Límites, which has promoted high-impact projects for more than 17 years.

Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 4, Quality Education, Option Venezuela has launched this project that seeks to offer answers to: the deficit of teachers and teachers, they’re outdated and the low proportion of teachers with qualifications minimum required in digital skills, vocational guidance, employment promotion, decent work, entrepreneurship, sustainable development, among others (target and indicator of SDG 4.4); as well as the low degree of incorporation of education for sustainable development, including gender equality and human rights in curricula, teacher training and student assessment (target – SDG indicator 4.7) .

In response, the Educational Network for Sustainable Entrepreneurship was born, a proposal for raising awareness and training available for teachers and students in matters of life purpose, entrepreneurship and sustainability, which has more than 150 testimonials from Venezuelan entrepreneurs, who thanks to the power of their stories (storytelling), provides value and inspiration to the participants of these training experiences.

A methodology of sustainable options for Venezuela

The program was carried out in three phases: in the first, a training design for raising awareness and training in skills for sustainable entrepreneurship was created, with workshops on life projects, entrepreneurship and sustainability, as well as sharing inspiring testimonies. In the second, promoters were trained in the three key issues who became the replicators of these contents among adolescents and young people.

In the third, they carried out more than 30 workshops in 11 states of the country (Aragua, Bolívar, Carabobo, Capital District, Lara, Miranda, Monagas, Nueva Esparta, Yaracuy, Táchira and Zulia), beginning the formation of a network of more than 600 young people and adults, between 15 and 24 years old, who attend schools, high schools, universities or are linked to youth organizations, who from now on will begin to incorporate notions of sustainable entrepreneurship into their professional practice, in a world that increasingly demand.

The initiative is driven by the potential of the network of facilitators and promoters that Option Venezuela has been weaving in more than 10 states of the country, as well as the wealth of testimonies, content and tools for Venezuela and its young people to seek to move from the “disappointment” and “resentment” at the ambition to undertake sustainable options for the future. “It motivates us to bet on the construction of a productive, supportive and sustainable country. Productive that stimulates manufacturing instead of selling raw materials (oil, minerals); in solidarity with the victims of the complex humanitarian emergency and those who are not yet being strengthened in their capacities to be able to live autonomously and entrepreneurially in Venezuela; sustainable since it is a priority to promote a development model that is committed not only to economic growth, but also promotes solutions that reverse global warming and also generates a positive impact on people”, said Félix Ríos, Co-Founder and President of Option Venezuela AC.

Opción Venezuela empowers responsible leaders

Option Venezuela, which this year will reach two decades of work, has been inspired by the purpose of empowering responsible leaders, from schools, communities, companies, among other collective spaces, so that through their undertakings and initiatives build “the world you want in the world you have.”

With this proposal, a network experience is promoted that offers young Venezuelans a space for reflection on their life purpose, the possibility of undertaking, in addition to incorporating the vision of sustainability. “It is also inspiring for the workshop participants to show them the stories of Venezuelans, talented people who make a difference, inside and outside our borders, who reinvent themselves in the face of difficulties, are resilient personally and from their most varied initiatives” Rivers shares.

As an example of the power of testimonies, there are the stories of Ron Chávez (humorist), Selene Quiroga (pianist) and Maickel Melamed, who have been able to enrich the workshops on life projects; the experiences of Andrés Simón González (Venemergencia – Asistensi), Claudia Valladares (Impact Hub Caracas), Jeserik Pinto (Olympic swimmer) and Fernando Rodríguez (cuatrista musician), those of entrepreneurship. While the stories of Andrés Solorzano (Leather Heart), Mafe Vera (Melao Lab), Andrea Martínez (Zona Rasta Family), Feliciano Reyna (Acción Solidaria) and Luisa Pernalete (Fe y Alegría); they have contributed valuable ideas to talk about sustainability; among other testimonies available on the Youtube channel of Option Venezuela AC.

Bio Mercados, a supermarket chain in Venezuela, made an alliance with dash, the cryptocurrency trading platform Cryptobuyer and the payment processing system MegaSoft to initiate the acceptance of cryptocurrencies as a form of payment in the different branches in Venezuela.

Bio Mercados has a presence in the states of Carabobo and Lara, where they have seven branches. Now, consumers are able to cancel with Bitcoin (BTC), Dash (DASH), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and other cryptos without having to carry out the conversion to fiat.

The information was posted in the official Dash account, through a video which highlighting that this alliance benefits more than “500,000 customers in the city of Valencia”, through the 90 payment desks the supermarket has. This implies a great integration because in other businesses, which accept this type of payment, they only have one desk to carry out the operations and in most cases the manager of the store must supervise the payment process.

With the activation of this service, the Bio Mercados supermarket chain intends to “reduce waiting timeswhen paying or avoid problems due to the lack of low-denomination bills for the delivery of changes, among other difficulties” that limit cash transactions
