Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Free Screening Invite: "Throw Down Your Heart" by Bela Fleck

There will be a FREE SCREENING of Bela Fleck's extraordinary film, *"Throw Down Your Heart"*, at *UCLA's Fowler Museum at 2:00 on Sunday March 13*.

The film tells the story of Fleck, one of the premiere banjo players in the US, going to Africa to explore the roots of American banjo music. He visits several East and West African countries,
exploring this idea and playing with the musicians of the region. It is a joyous celebration of the music and a major event for music lovers. *CHERYL KEYES, UCLA professor in Ethnomusicology and an authority on African music*, will lead a post-screening discussion.

*It's free and open to the public!*


In order to avoid all the SCAMS, we decide not to publish all the info of the recruter in the job postings. You'll find this info in our Daily Newsletter.
