The LA Screenings Independents Opening Night Party will take place on <span class=\"xn-chron\">Tuesday, May 14, 2019<\/span> from <span class=\"xn-chron\">6-8 p.m.<\/span> in the Grand Salon Ballroom\u00a0at The InterContinental Hotel in Century City. <\/p>\n<p>Jencarlos Canela is an American songwriter and actor of Cuban descent, who has starred in such telenovelas as <i>M\u00e1s sabe el diablo<\/i>, among other popular TV series and the television film <i><span class=\"xn-person\">Jesus Christ<\/span><\/i>. As a songwriter, he began his career as the lead singer of the group <i>Boom Boom Pop<\/i>. In 2002 he went solo, producing a number of hits including<i> B\u00fascame<\/i> and <i>Un Nuevo D\u00eda<\/i>, which debuted at No. 1 in 2009 and No. 2 in 2011 respectively. In <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 2019<\/span> he launched his third single <i>Irremplazable<\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Political uncertainty in <span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span> is contributing to the Western Hemisphere&#8217;s worst humanitarian disaster in years. Venezuelans are running out of food and have no means to buy more, hospitals often lack medicines and basic supplies and we are seeing increasingly alarming reports of malnutrition amongst the children of <span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span>,&#8221; said Jencarlos Canela. <\/p>\n<p>The LA Screening benefit concert is a response to this crisis. More than 3 million people have fled the country over the past two years to escape a deteriorating economy, a breakdown of social services, rampant crime, medicine and food shortages, increasing malnutrition, prolonged electricity outages and the growing spread of both infectious and vaccine-preventable diseases. Already the largest exodus in Latin American history, some predict by year end, 5.6 million will have left <span class=\"xn-location\">Venezuela<\/span>, rivaling the scale of the Syrian crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NATPE and EVENTS TM are excited to have Olympusat return as the Opening Night Party sponsor supporting such a worthy cause,&#8221;\u00a0 said JP Bommel, NATPE President &amp; CEO.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, the numbers have intensified \u2013 it is estimated that as many as 25,000 people are fleeing the country every day. <span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span> hosts the vast majority of Venezuelan refugees \u2013 more than 1.2 million people \u2013 and Project HOPE is on the ground in the border city of C\u00facuta, working hard to deliver urgently needed health services and to support local health-care workers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our partnership with Olympusat is instrumental in shining a light on what is a largely under-reported and under-funded crisis. Our long-term goal is to bolster the health infrastructure in <span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span> so that it can protect the health of its own population and, at the same time, meet the health needs of refugees who are coming from a country where the health-care system has all but collapsed,&#8221; stated <span class=\"xn-person\">Cinira Baldi<\/span>, Chief Development and Communications Officer at Project HOPE. &#8220;Together, we are bringing health and hope where the need is greatest,&#8221; Mrs. Baldi added.<\/p>\n<p>NATPE&#8217;s LA Screenings Independents\u00a0is a partnership between NATPE and <span class=\"xn-person\">Isabella Marquez&#8217;s<\/span> EVENTS TM.\u00a0 Visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2455869-1&amp;h=2084092268&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.natpe.com%2F&amp;a=NATPE.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">NATPE.com<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2455869-1&amp;h=294590679&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lascreenings.org%2FLASI2019.html&amp;a=LASI\" rel=\"nofollow\">LASI<\/a> to register. <\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Olympusat&#8217;s industry-leading efforts, please visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2455869-1&amp;h=2179948657&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.olympusat.com%2F&amp;a=olympusat.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">olympusat.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Olympusat \u2013 Media Contact: <br \/>Jes\u00fas Pi\u00f1ango<br \/>561-249-5228<br \/><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:jesus@olympusat.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">jesus@olympusat.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211; <span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2455869-1&amp;h=1771478312&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F581523%2FNew_Olympus_Logo.jpg&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Fmma.prnewswire.com%2Fmedia%2F581523%2FNew_Olympus_Logo.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/581523\/New_Olympus_Logo.jpg<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  Olympusat, Inc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">WEST PALM BEACH, Florida<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">May 7, 2019<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212;\u00a0Olympusat Inc., one of the largest independent media companies specializing in the ownership, distribution, production and technical services of Spanish and English-language networks, joins forces with Jencarlos Canela, Project HOPE and NATPE to bring humanitarian aid to Venezuelan children with a charity concert at NATPE&#8217;s LA Screenings Independents (LASI) Official Welcome Cocktail Party.<\/p>\n<p>&lt;div id=&quot;prni_dvprnejpg78fbleft&quot;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68811,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interes-humano"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68810","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68810"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68810\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68810"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68810"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hispanicprwire.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68810"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
