Elías Torres Sosa’s new book Vorágines Dominicanas, a gripping novel of tyranny, revolution, and religion in 1965

June 17, 2020

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Vorágines Dominicanas was created by Elías Torres Sosa. Elías is an author who comes from Río San Juan, Dominican Republic. His educational background that includes business administration, law, and economics from the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo.

Elías Torres Sosa said this about his book: “Vorágines Dominicanas is a novel born out of the author’s need to take part of the events that occurred at the end of the tyranny that Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina led, the government of the Council of State, the government of Professor Juan Bosch, the government of the Triumvirate, the 1965 War.

These fragments of historical real events were assembled on the basis of the imagination, to make the reader more enjoyable and fun.

The historical facts that occurred in those periods of time were so terrifying that they do not fit in a simple human brain. Any reader who is not aware of the truth of the facts may think that we are talking about simple legend, fiction, times unforgettable, especially when these events were carried out with the participation or the indifferent gaze of the leadership of the Catholic Church.”

Published by Page Publishing, Elías Torres Sosa’s new book Vorágines Dominicanas will take readers through the vast, eventful history of tyrannical rule, societal shifts, and religious movements that defined the past and impacted the present generation.

Consumers who wish to learn about history can purchase Vorágines Dominicanas in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

The Nation’s Largest Food Drive Re-emerges This Week in Novel Fashion

June 16, 2020

National Association of Letter Carriers.

WASHINGTON, June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As summer approaches, local food banks and church shelves around the country normally would be well-stocked, benefiting from the 70 million-plus pounds of food recently received from the Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, held in May for the past 27 years.

The food drive’s timing is key, because winter holiday donations have dwindled from food pantries and homeless shelters, and school meal programs are not available in summer. The coronavirus pandemic, however, forced the postponement of the scheduled May 9 drive for safety reasons—even as the pandemic-related economic shutdown has worsened food insecurity.

To deal with this urgent situation, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) has developed a new plan to address the problem of hunger that affects one in eight Americans, including millions of children, elderly and military veterans.

Starting this week, millions of generous Americans who normally leave food by their mailbox on the second Saturday in May for letter carriers to collect, as well as the legions of community volunteers who help sort and transport the food, can accomplish the same thing via different means.

Using the experience, contacts, presence in every zip code in the country and universal network that have made the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive the country’s largest single-day food collection, the NALC reached out to our numerous regional/state food coordinators, who in turn contacted our 1,900 branches in every corner of the country about finding a new approach for the times. The branches then spoke with food banks and pantries in their communities, and we identified ones those that are willing and able to take part in this effort.

The result: A novel donor drive approach to fit the current circumstances. Americans in big cities and suburbs, in small towns and rural areas, can go to a website set up just for this, select a food bank close to them, and donate funds to help the pantry purchase food. This has been set up in a manner that allows every dollar raised to go directly to purchasing food for the hungry.

To find a local food bank in your state, please go to www.nalc.org/food

As always, the food procured will stay in the community to help residents in need. And again, our wonderful national partners—the U.S. Postal Service, United Way Worldwide, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW), Kellogg Co., National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, CVS Health, Valpak, AFL-CIO and Valassis—will be vital to its success.

This isn’t our normal food drive, of course, but these aren’t normal times.

“As letter carriers in every neighborhood in the country six and seven days a week, we see the need and we cannot wait while food banks struggle, demand grows and people remain hungry,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said. “Once it is safe, we will return to the traditional food drive.”

For the meantime, there may be a silver lining to this approach born of necessity. Rather than a one-day event, this effort will continue as needed. And, food banks can purchase more food than a resident could buy and donate with the same resources.

To be sure, this approach is different than before. But for individuals and families across the United States able to have a meal because of the generosity of others, the nourishment—and gratitude—will be exactly the same as before.

To find a local food bank in your state, please go to www.nalc.org/food

********

The 290,000-member National Association of Letter Carriers represents letter carriers across the country employed by the U.S. Postal Service, along with retired letter carriers. Founded by Civil War veterans in 1889, the NALC is among the country’s oldest labor unions.
