10:04We were watching.
10:06We were watching.
10:07We were watching.
10:07This is how the spirit of the Venezuelan people is shown because the most important thing after these two earthquakes
10:15is not the material, as the people have said.
10:19It's not the material things that matter.
10:22It is also the spirit to overcome the situation.
10:27We were watching in these temporary camps.
10:31There are several facilities that are installed in these temporary camps.
10:36Facilities also for beauty, also for men and women beauty.
