The Gulf?

The Gulf of Paria is a body of water between the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela aka the Gulf.  On a clear day from the cities of San Fernando and Cedros, you can see the Venezuelan coastline.

I’ve decided to write this post after watching the plight of #Venezuelans and their struggle to survive on Al Jazeera.

While the world sleeps, the daily hardships of the people of Venezuela continue.  The gaping gulf between rich and poor widens, while parents are willing to risk their lives to provide for their families.

No human on this earth should have to navigate the high seas to sell commodities to feed their children.
