Marcela brings E3AFA to Venezuela
Marcela is a Spiritual Nutrition Counselor trained by Rabbi Gabriel Cousens, MD. Her mission is to help the world evolve into a new way of living & eating. At Marcela’s instigation, we had a unique and amazing opportunity to share our E3AFA algae with people in need in Venezuela. Marcela sent out a newsletter and interviewed our CEO Tamera Campbell. We have included it here for you to enjoy!
We live now in a world with many crises. Our neighbors in Venezuela have four main issues: electrical, social, political, and food, and this is a story of how helping others is easy when we do it together.
My Venezuelan friend asked me to advise her on what she could send to her family and friends in Venezuela that have a right amount of nutrients, especially for children who aren’t getting proper nutrition due to the lack of food.
For a moment I said “hmm…gosh so many superfoods… and so expensive”. In a flash, I remembered a study done in Africa where children who received spirulina for more than six months showed a significant health improvement compared to those who didn’t consume it during the same period. I’ve been consuming blue-green algae and spirulina for many years because of their high nutrition content (protein, amino acids, and many other vitamins). I knew this would be great for people in Venezuela, and I recommended sending 5 kg of AFA (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) from one of my favorite brands, E3Live.
I called E3Live, and I explained why I needed a wholesale price, I wouldn’t lose anything by asking, right? Their answer was mind-blowing. They decided to join this project saying: “If you’re getting 5 kg, we’ll match up that amount and send another 5 kg of AFA to help Venezuelan people in need”. In just a few minutes, we had 10 kg of AFA to ship out to Venezuela!
Today, I’m telling you this story to inspire you to take a break in your day, your week, or your life and do something small for someone else. You don’t need a lot to help others; sometimes simple actions—like making a phone call—can create help and resources for those who need them.
Doing something for others, no matter how small it is, can generate remarkable outcomes, improving other people’s lives and yours. We are not separated from all the people in need around us and the world. We are all together in this beautiful, abundant earth. Your benevolence, compassion, and selflessness create the world that we all dream about.
Watch my interview with Founder & CEO of E3Live Tamera Campbell, where she explains in depth what blue-green algae is and its benefits.
