Topic: Venezuela Trip
we went to a homeless occupation
it is called no roofs
we met the organizers walked around and seen buildings that have been abandoned ...and thus were take over by the homeless community in organized ways
they have the permission from the government to use these places for the social benefit of the community
one building had 24 families
another had 47 people in it
a old lady who lived in one of the rooms invited us in to see her place ...she was so sweet...i have it al on film
I have over 25 hours of footage collected...plus other in our delegation are filming too.
I am getting by with not much Spanish ...but our interpreter is soooo good... sorry for the bad spelling here ..I’m typing fast and they close in about 10 minutes
i have been drinking lots of good juices ...coffee is like shots of espresso..... milk is usually warm ...at least when we have cereal at breakfast its never cold ...¿
I was very inspired by the homeless NO ROOFS project...lots of neat stuff .... for example ...they also have local created business right in the near vicinity of these encampments... providing work...textiles ...food ... shops...juices ...
it’s hot here humidity is high , and its stuff ...no rain not much wind
I’m learning and having fun as well ...WOW
I return with everyone on Monday morning
peace out
