'Achievements' of the Revolution in 2007

Photos taken in Caracas on the last few days of December. With just hours left until the end of 2007, Venezuelan households were getting ready to bring in the New Year with their family and friends. There was, however, an exception- the people who find themselves relegated to a forgotten World; whether they be imprisoned, exiled or ill in hospital, we'd like to let them know they're in our thoughts.

Thousands more Venezuelans were in the streets- the forgotten ones (not just in the festive season, but all year) and those who lead empty lives without hope. Despite government forces working under the mission 'Negra Hipolita', which I don't wish to describe due to it's numerous shortcomings, the sad truth is that corruption feeds off the misery of those who are unhappy.
