Meeting
Meeting in the CRI involving most residents, among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Venezuelans. “We have had the opportunity of talking about some difficulties of relationship and of distribution of tasks. It was a summoning to all, for the growth, maturing and the strengthening of bonds among them. The importance of fraternity and of collaboration. Gathered in a great wheel, they proposed a solution to the problems themselves and voted, thus giving birth to a collaborative solution”, said Denise.
Children
“We see that the children are great inspirers; they share things among them, collaborate with one another and are attentive to the needs of all, including the adults”, said Denise.
Tasks of the day
