It has been very difficult. I am a Colombian, but I moved to Venezuela when times were bad here. That’s where I met him (Manuel).” Manuel had a house and land that he farmed in Venezuela. That’s where they lived for years. Before they came here, he was bitten by a snake and became very ill. Sandra came to Colombia for medicine and supplies. Manuel says: “All that I had in Venezuela is gone now. The government nationalized my farm land and once we left the house, people were allowed to come in and take everything. They ransacked the place. Manuel would like to farm again. “But really, I’d take any opportunity to work, anything I can do.” “Some Venezuelans who come here create problems and give others a bad name. It makes it hard for people who just need to work to take care of their family.”
