00:00In Venezuela, the communes went to their second national consultation last Sunday, August 25th.
00:04To this day, it was crucial the work of these social structures is daily and constant.
00:08Our correspondent Glais Quezada tells us more.
00:14This is the community center and base of missions in Negro Luis Villafania.
00:18Here converge 14 community councils to which the facility offers a space for health care,
00:25a community dining room, but also for timely debate and solutions to collective problems.
00:31These days, in its halls, a martial arts practice is taking place.
00:36Its structure attests to how his endeavor materialized.
00:43I came here to talk to the commune, not with the parents, but I already talked to the commune.
00:50Then they saw that they put up my posters and through the posters they came here and
00:54little by little they found out that they were going to give classes here.
00:58And here we are, little by little with the girls. We have been here for three months now.
01:07From the popular consultation of Sunday 25th, these communes elected a project
01:13for the improvement of the distribution of the liquefied gas.
01:17Thus, they will make the distribution of the fuel more expeditious,
01:22creating delivery routes and a functional calendar for those who work or study.
01:27Meanwhile, in the Amalibaca community center, gas cylinders are being changed.
01:32Here are the deteriorated ones while everyone takes home a new one.
01:38Frederick tells us how he found out.
01:42Through our street leader, one of the community councils called my work.
01:47They are doing something and well. We took the word and we went to the call.
01:52He also came to vote on Sunday with a clear idea.
01:58It's like everything you don't do, someone else will come and do it for you.
02:01So the saying goes that if you want something to go well, you have to do it yourself.
02:05And this is the opportunity you have to participate and you have to do it.
02:11At the end of the day, in this indigenous center of Sarria,
02:14street leaders responsible for their communes and their function,
02:19meet to discuss the results of the second popular consultation.
02:23Barely 24 hours later, here they ponder the errors,
02:27look for strategies and leave a record of the experience.
02:31Yes, with the premise that coming is all of them.
02:39Yes, we are evaluating projects, this one directly from.
02:42We schedule fairs for the benefit of the communities. We see them in Europe.
02:49We also plan them in December or in other seasons.
02:55We plan different commercial activities.
02:57People come and then there are people who sell their sweets,
03:00sell their things and we do have them.
03:06And we are raising proposals for new projects for improvement.
03:09This is the day of life and work of three different community centers
03:14that bring together neighborhoods, look for solutions or as they popularly say,
03:19they solve it.
