Fabiana Blanco, a 12-year-old from La Guaira, spent 30 hours trapped under the rubble of her collapsed home following the earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24 before being rescued by emergency teams.

Her calm behaviour during the ordeal earned her the nickname "the girl with the smile" after a video of her rescue circulated widely on social media.

00:55I started to see how things fall, how things fall, how the building goes from the side, and I started
01:04to get a lot of escombros.
01:05I also saw that the pared that divided a apartment with the mine, it started to see the other apartment.
01:12That's what I'm afraid of, and I went down a little to a little to stay on the floor.
01:18All the escombros fell on my back, I didn't fall on anything, thanks to God.
01:22And there in that life, because it's the famous life of life, I was able to do it as I
01:28saw in the videos.
01:30The first contact that I have is that I hear my name from far away, but very, very far.
01:36And then that voice began to get closer, closer, closer.
01:40And that was when my hope came out.
01:44And I cried in my happiness because I knew who I would rescue.
01:47The rescue lasted for many hours.
01:50And really, they started to makeup and do everything to be able to get out of me.
01:56That was where I was recording and my smile came out.
02:00Because it was the hope and faith that I had for so many hours.
02:03It wasn't a girl, it wasn't a child, it wasn't a person.
02:06It wasn't a person, it wasn't a person, it wasn't a person, it wasn't a person.
02:09We're going to look at the same way.
02:11In the scenario, we had to do many things.
02:13But it was that, we had to do the goal.
02:16And it was done.
02:17I felt a little bit frustrated because I wanted to make it more.
02:21The group of work and the team, as a result, achieved many objectives that night.
02:25But, lamentablement, by limitations of time and teams, we couldn't achieve more objectives.
02:30And, really, for me, more than the girl of the smile, more than the girl of the smile,
02:35more than the girl of the smile, it was the objective that I had for.
02:37And it was achieved.
02:39It was achieved.
02:40And it was happening now.
02:47When he showed me the video, that I saw that smile, I said, well, we stayed.
02:55I remember that he told me, give me one hour.
03:00And I said, well, until two, three.
03:04We are here.
03:07One, two, the one that you've been waiting for.
03:09I said, well, I'll give you a little bit of a baby.
03:12I said, well, I'll give you a little bit of a baby.
03:15I said, well, I'm alive.
03:15I'm happy.
03:17Thank God.
03:18I see it in the pediatrician.
03:20And it has a fracture in the knee.
03:24But the fracture, I'm compensating with what I have, with a yeso.
03:28But, also, it has a injury in the knee.
03:32I have to be tratting, tratting,
03:35so that the injury is covered.
03:37Because it's not a injury of a point.
03:39It's a injury that needs a prolonged treatment.
03:45And it's why it's here today.
03:47And it's going to be coming approximately every three,
03:50every four days,
03:51to make the cure respect,
03:53until that it closes.
03:54I have to give you someięcy.
04:00In the meantime.
04:03You have to do something that's not going to happen.
04:07And the one is going to have to have a baby.
04:08Do something you can't talk about.
04:08Who would you have to tell?
04:08Who would you get after the baby?
