And so they people will still continue to live in a hole! this angers me that what you do not see is that Venezuela in under a dictatorship, people only care they do not have rain in their heads and something to eat not eco friendly lines that pleasing to the eye. Easy to think this is great while seating in a comfy bed with a laptop. I get that they are trying to help but my God wake up to reality! I came from El Salvador, saw this shacks during the civil war so I do know what I speak of.

I love it!!!! Congratulations and keep your imagination and work rolling around the globe.......I was born in Venezuela with a Environmental Engineer background, I grew up thinking in revolutionary projects and with a deep concern on the environment. This really motivates me and to see things like this in my Venezuela I enjoy it more!!!!
