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.
