Its 8:30 pm. I came back home early tonite. People decided to avoid getting exposed before the armed groups show up.
This is a sumary of what happend last night, in a better english than my previous post.

There are some post in english you guys can read bout how it going and a collection of videos and pictures.
http://caracaschronicles.com/Today we gave the protester first aid kits, and food. Some of those kids are already tired, but their hearths keep them warm and strong.
People is scared of the armed groups, but we are also scared of living in a country where your life its at risk of the delinquence.About the cuban thing, Im also a national athlete, my team got a Cuban trainer wich was very good, a nice guy and a ver profesional coach. After 4 months of trainning he didnt show up anymore, he called 1 week later telling us he left Venezuela and went to Colombia, he deserted.
Same thing with doctors, and other social personal that came from Cuba.
We have an underwater or submarine cable wich provide Cuba with high speed internet (faster than our national average speed)
We gave them a lot of oil and money.We import almost every single food we ate, and since we dont have $$ anymore to buy them we have a shortage of essencial items.
The people dont get to really see or enjoy the wealth from the oil.Rigth now Maduro is talking in national TV, same as every night, while people protest from theirs home, at risk of being shooted by the armed groups.
This saturday is going to be an important day. We going out again, same as today and the day before.
We dont want more deads, enough innocent people died already, kids are under arrest, older people are terrifyed, but still everyone wants and needs a change.As a graphic design teacher, its hard to teach how comunication works in a country where you dont have the freedom to say whatever you want. But yet we can find ways to spread the words or ideas as visual mensages and when those kids realice how powerfull and image or a visual content is their eyes opens wide in hope.
Thats why I love being a teacher.Again sorry my english and the wall of text, Im just draining some of tension from this past days.
Thanks for let me share this with you all.
