00:00Today, Mark's National Children's Day in Venezuela, and special recreational initiatives are being deployed directly inside temporary camps to support
00:08families living through the transition period.
00:10For a look at how these communities are coming together, we connect live with our correspondent Belén de los Santos
00:16in Mare Abajo.
00:19Hello, Asturios, I'm coming to you from Mare Abajo in La Guaira, a special day today, because it is Children's
00:26Day, and there is such an important and special ambience around, you know, that this is the most affected state
00:36by the twin earthquakes.
00:37We are just meters away from a lot of camps where people continue to hold on and resist in this
00:47context as the weeks have gone by.
00:51Many are working on their structures to come back.
00:55Many are staying at transitory camps provided by the Venezuelan government in order to pass this transition period until they
01:05can come back home,
01:07come back to a new place. And in that context, this is what we are seeing.
01:13There is a lot of activities that are dedicated to the children, in particular playgrounds.
01:19They're cutting and sharing cake right now, hot dogs, different games and activities.
01:26Also artists painting the kids' faces as well. It is a moment of joy in the midst of tragedy.
01:35It is an opportunity for the kids in particular, for the youngest ones to celebrate in this context as we
01:43see that the day has been waited for by so many.
01:49And a moment to laugh, a moment to share in the middle of such complicated times.
01:56And the Venezuelan people with all its solidarity, with all its love and support, just continuing to share and to
02:05have this day dedicated to the younger ones.
02:08I go back to you now.
02:09What you are saying?
