Venezuelans motivated by the country situation that we are currently experiencing, we have been forced to invent, discover and rescue forgotten practices to try to have things that were easy to get and to buy.
For example: if we want to eat an arepa, we have to buy the corn (which sell it well), wash it, cook it, grind it in those mills used by the grandmothers.
We have learned how to make handmade soaps, deodorants, to brush with soap, mint leaves, vinegar and how much is used to remove bad breath.
Babies now wear eco-friendly diapers, which are refusable and also old cloth diapers.
Diapers and personal hygiene items as well as food if they are being obtained but their high costs, since they are imported, are not available to the vast majority of the population whose minimum wage does not allow them to buy these items.
If you buy a toothpaste, deodorant and bath soap you do not eat.
And today the government decrees another wage increase, which will lead to more hunger and misery.
Not to mention the medicines that are very difficult to find and if you find them their value will be unattainable for your pocket.
The Venezuelan lives to the day, you can not make a family budget, because the prices every day increase.
We are surviving thanks to the faith in God and to that we are fighters and inventors by force.
In the streets the struggle is still mainly in the big cities of our country, where unfortunately every day more people die, mainly young people hope this reality will improve soon and the indifference will end.
