00:00And in Venezuela, across earthwork impacted areas, the state and the popular power have
00:04established transitory camps to assist affected families in the aftermath of the tragedy.
00:09Residing from one of these initiatives in Caracas, our colleague Belén de los Santos with more.
00:15Hello studios, how are you? We are here once again in Caracas, in this case in a transitory
00:21camp of La Pastora neighborhood. And what you can see behind me, I need to first show you
00:26what is happening. This is one of the recreational activities that are taking place here for
00:32the kids. Over 120 people are staying at this transitory camp in La Pastora right now. It's
00:40actually an educational unit. And this is one of the recreational activities. Let's listen.
01:17We are at the educational unit, Paz Castillo en La Pastora. That was what they were singing. Also, a very
01:25national and
01:26community. We are at the educational unit, Paz Castillo en La Pastora. That was what they were singing.
01:26I'm talking to talking about the Venezuelan spirit, the Venezuelan independence, the role that Simón
01:33Bolívar played in the coal community. And it is such an important part of this moment in which Venezuela is
01:40going through the double earthquakes and the reconstruction and the assistance to the affected
01:45population that this means. Let's recall we are at a transitory camp. There are people who have been affected
01:50in their households, that have lost their living situation, that are staying here, finding a place to
01:59sleep, to eat, to get medical assistance that is coordinated by different spheres of the Venezuelan
02:05state and also the organized popular power that is so characteristic of the Venezuelan people. And in this
02:11place there are a lot of volunteers that are also coming precisely to spend this time with the kids, to
02:18give them
02:19a new day, a way of just having fun with dancing, with songs, with laughter. And the fact that
02:27that moment is bringing back that Venezuelan spirit at a moment like this is also so important. We were
02:33listening and looking at the children's faces and laughter and it is so important at a time like this
02:40precisely. We wanted to share that with you because amid the tragedy, these places are also part of what is
02:47happening in Venezuela right now. We are right now in Caracas, but there are spaces like this designed and
02:53underway, already completely functional, both in the capital city, in La Guayra particularly, in other
02:59states as well. And they are giving their best efforts to assist the population in a moment of great
03:07difficulties, understanding that it takes the effort of a whole community to precisely continue the
03:15reconstruction activities and everything that has to do with the day after and the weeks after the
03:20double earthquake of June 24th. Again, this is from La Pastora, Caracas. Now we go back to you.
