How much time and worry can a Venezuelan who wants to live in Chile legally save himself if he had an information source to guide him? Public service is the strong suit of Venezuelans in Chile. The idea of ​​journalist Maylin Naveda was born in January 2014 when she arrived in this country and saw with nostalgia the existence of the Venezuelan communities in Miami or Venezuelans in Bogotá. The absence of something similar in his new land was the stimulus to take charge of the undertaking that benefits all those foreigners who wish to know their rights and duties in Chile. "I explain how to do things, adapting the information to the Venezuelan language. The interest is that they do things well. In Venezuela we are used to looking for a manager but here everything is easy, we just need to read," mentions Naveda. Instagram is the main channel, followed by Facebook and YouTube. The platform is nourished by information confirmed by government entities that announce new provisions, special days and necessary precautions to obtain permits, licenses and documents in general. Precisely, the seriousness in the treatment of these contents has made this journalistic project a reference for official Chilean sources. In addition to the emphasis on legality, there is another key pillar in the concept of Venezuelans in Chile. Respect between Venezuelan brothers. "Here in the community, people respect each other and I want that to continue." To achieve this, they omit political information from the content grid. The team, which in addition to Maylin in charge of marketing and digital content strategies, includes a designer and an outsourcing company dedicated to video editing, promotes events, fairs and job offers of interest to their compatriots. "The first 3 years I did not charge for advertising and I did not advertise either. We only published information of interest. From one year to now we implemented it, taking into account that we have enough followers and the influence that it has given us. given the veracity of what we reported." Naveda delves a little deeper into the topic of financing and reveals that the primary requirement for accepting advertisers is that they are up to date with the registration and all legal provisions of Chile. Also, he states that many are Venezuelan entrepreneurs or companies that want to make special promotions for this market segment. The informative work transcends the digital. Naveda exceeds 5,000 consultations carried out by email and many others that it offers free of charge in the building where it resides. "We want to continue helping them in any way we can, helping everyone who is thinking about emigrating."
