Wenezuela: dzieci ulicy [FOTOREPORTAŻ]

Ulice stolicy Wenezueli, Caracas, pełne są bezdomnych dzieci. Dzieci te biegają, śmieją się, szukają pożywienia wśród śmieci i pływają w zanieczyszczonych rzekach. Są też takie dzieci, które niestety nadużywają narkotyków. Te zaniedbane nieletnie stanowią jedną z wielu twarzy poważnego kryzysu gospodarczego i społecznego, który niszczy bogaty w ropę kraj Ameryki Południowej.

Liliana went to live with her paternal grandparents after her child’s birth but soon returned to the streets. She says, 'My grandmother fights a lot and I will not stand that.

Be calm, I can have a good life with my son.’ The streets of Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, are filled with homeless children who run, laugh, swim in polluted rivers, search for food among the trash and, in many cases, abuse drugs that allow them some respite from the harsh realities of living rough.
