VENEZUELA
"Estamos lejos, pero no estamos ausentes"
"We are far, but we are not absent."
"We are far, but we are not absent."
Venezuela's political situation in recent years has left the country in a state of emergency unlike any other in its history. Day by day, the country finds itself deeper into collapsing, and its people are unsure of where to turn. As crime, inflation, murder, poverty, and hunger are at record highs, Venezuela's people are being forced out of their homes and motherland seeking refuge. They are the victims of political persecution and imprisonment, and flee in political asylum. They arrive with nothing, often having left all of their belongings in their homes, but come with the dream of having food, education, medicine, safety, and freedom. Although life is difficult, there is hope.
