Venezuela Land of the free









Comrades,

I propose the next platform8 trip to be to Venezuela. The mission to contribute through design to the flourishing of one of the worlds few democracies. Thanks to a healthy oil reserve Venezuela has had the opportunity to disregard to the unjust structures and harsh economic regime imposed by a capitalist west orientated trade agreements. President Chavez has initiated a fantastic social, healthcare and education service, as well as tackling poverty. The good man also generously offered the USA aid in the form of Oil, engineers and nurses following the New Orleans disaster. Mr. Bush was not overly impressed. So let us join this progressive and visionary people on their brave adventure, Venezuela, We salute you!
