El Trabajo y la dignidad van de la mano.
Work and dignity go hand in hand.
Buscando mejor calidad de vida muchos venezolanos han dejado su patria. Muchas son las familias venezolanas que están separadas por causa de la crisis que atraviesa el País, producto de un modelo político atrasado que ha pauperizado a la mayoría de la población, desatando una mega hiperinflación jamás vista en Venezuela, pero que a su vez ha enriquecido, de manera exorbitante, a unos pocos, a los nuevos ricos, pertenecientes o allegados a las altas esferas del poder socialista. El otrora país más pujante de latinoamérica hoy se ve triste, paralizado, saqueado, casi destruído; aunque la propaganda política, patrocinada por el régimen, dice lo contrario. Una de esas familias separadas es la mía, mi hijo, mi nieta, la mamá de mi nieta, mi hermana con su esposo, su hija y su nieta y una gran cantidad de sobrinos, familiares y amigos están viviendo en varios países de latinoamérica, Estados Unidos y Europa. Jamás hubo migración de venezolanos, mucho menos por causas políticas o por empobrecimiento del país. Los venezolanos viajábamos por turismo, negocios o por causas educativas, nunca buscando mejor calidad de vida, ni mucho menos huyendo. Nosotros fuimos receptores de inmigrantes y hasta refugiados. Por décadas Venezuela recibió migrantes y nunca fueron estigmatizados, maltratados o humillados, como si se ha dado el caso con nuestra gente en el extranjero por causa de la xenofobia. A los extranjeros que llegaban a Venezuela se les daba refugio, respeto, calidad de vida, seguridad personal, para vivir e invertir y lo más importante se les daba amor y dignidad. Venezuela tiene mucho que agradecerle a la migración, especialmente europea, tal es el caso de los migrantes portugueses, italianos y alemanes; por cierto, con relación a esta última nacionalidad, muchos de sus descendientes siguen viviendo en la Colonia Tovar.. Afortunadamente la mayoría de nuestra gente en el extranjero está dejando el nombre de Venezuela en alto porque son personas decentes, amables, serviciales, buenos trabajadores, seres preparados, bien formados, inteligentes y de alta calidad humana y profesional, espiritualmente fundamentados en virtudes sublimes y valores excelsos. Desde este humilde espacio pido a Dios que vuelva la luz de la prosperidad, la justicia, la libertad y la democracia a Venezuela y acabe con el oscurantismo reinante, para que puedan volver los hijos que se han ido y así poder ver el renacer inmarcesible de nuestra Nación.
Looking for a better quality of life, many Venezuelans have left their homeland. Many Venezuelan families are separated by the crisis that is going through the country, the result of a backward political model that has pauperized the majority of the population, triggering a mega hyperinflation never seen in Venezuela, but which in turn has enriched, exorbitantly, a few, the new rich, belonging to or close to the high spheres of socialist power. The last most thriving country in Latin America today looks sad, paralyzed, plundered, almost destroyed; although political propaganda, sponsored by the regime, says otherwise. One of those separate families is mine, my son, my granddaughter, my granddaughter's mom, my sister with her husband, daughter and granddaughter and a lot of nephews, family and friends are living in several Latin American countries, the United States and Europe. There was never a migration of Venezuelans, much less because of political causes or impoverishment of the country. Venezuelans traveled for tourism, business or educational reasons, never looking for a better quality of life, let alone fleeing. We were recipients of immigrants and even refugees. For decades Venezuela received migrants and was never stigmatized, mistreated or humiliated, as is happening with our people abroad because of xenophobia. Foreigners arriving in Venezuela were given refuge, respect, quality of life, personal security, to live and invest and most importantly they were given love and dignity. Venezuela has much to thank for migration, especially European, such as Portuguese, Italian and German migrants; by the way, in relation to the latter nationality, many of his descendants continue to live in the Colonia Tovar.. Fortunately most of our people abroad are leaving Venezuela's name aloft because they are decent, kind, helpful, good workers, prepared, well-trained, intelligent and high quality human and professional people, spiritually based on sublime virtues and excellent values. From this humble space I ask God to turn the light of prosperity, justice, freedom and democracy to Venezuela and end the prevailing obscurantism, so that the children who are gone can return so that they can see the unmistakable rebirth of our nation.

Hello @marcosmilano71, it is difficult to be away from family at this time. Is your son living there in Lima with his family because of the pipeline project above? I am sure you miss your granddaughter too.
Hey, @discoveringarni. God bless your day and bless you and your loved ones. Good morning from Venezuela. My son worked here in the administrative area, he is also an athlete (footballer) First migrated to my granddaughter's mother with the girl, then my son left. They're already three years old in Peru. They're legally in that beautiful South American country. They have all their documentation in order, my granddaughter's mother is a Telecommunications Engineer and she works in a mineral salt and other chemicals processing plant, she is in the area of industrial safety because her experience is in that matter, she has always been in important works in Civil Construction. However, my eldest son has not yet graduated, was studying Mechatronic Engineering and then switched to Civil Engineering but is not finished for that reason that he works as a construction worker, I hope he can finish his studies and graduate. Venezuelans are very close to the family, we are fraternal and that is why I need to hug them and we need a lot of our granddaughter who is growing up without the warmth of her grandparents. It is sad, but we have faith that soon, with God's help, democracy and freedom will return to our country. Thank you for your valuable feedback. This guy moves my feelings. God bless you.
I traveled to Lima and other parts of Peru and Bolivia with my husband in 2008. We enjoyed our time very much in South America and we dream that someday we could return.
It's nice to know that civil engineering and construction really run deep in your family, I remembered your Uncle's construction expertise from the previous post as well. I pray for democracy, freedom, and good things for your country so that soon you could be reunited with your family.
Amén, Amén, Amén. Gracias amiga por sus buenos deseos. Gracias por su comentario. @discoveringarni Saludos y bendiciones. Nota: Gracias por recordar a mi difunto Tío Rafael María Rangel... Excelente ser humano y excelente constructor de viviendas tradicionales de barro.
Thank you @marcosmilano71 for sharing with us a touching story about your eldest son, Marcos Milano Jr., and the difficult journey of many migrant Venezuelan workers due to the current crisis! I understand how it feels to be away from your family and loved ones since I've also experienced the same situation many years ago.
On a positive note, it's also a joy to know that the genius of civil engineering and building construction is deeply engrained in your family line. I'm extremely proud and happy for your family heritage and for the valuable service it has offered to your country! I do hope and pray that the challenging problems would subside soon and would open the doors for your countrymen to progress and grow!
Thank you @storiesoferne for your comment. You really motivate with your words. This is a great family united by bonds of fraternity, good education, respect and values. I really do, thank you. I am glad to be able to share these humble details with you. Greetings and infinite blessings. And thank you for your good wishes. Note: From experience you know that the migrant's life is hard, as is being separated from loved ones.
Muchas gracias @storiesoferne por su conmovedor comentario. Verdaderamente ustedes motivan con sus palabras. Esta es una gran familia unida por lazos de fraternidad, buena educación, respeto y valores. De verdad gracias. Me alegra poder compartir estos humildes detalles con ustedes. Saludos e infinitas bendiciones. Y gracias por sus buenos deseos. Nota: Por experiencia Usted sabe que la vida del migrante es dura, como lo es estar separado de los seres queridos.
