How did you get to Curacao?  By plane

Why did you decide to go to Curacao?
At that time I had no job and couldn’t take care of my family, so I had to leave 
What is the meaning of hope, faith and love for you?
They mean a lot to me. Love to me means family. Faith is what we Venezuelans are taught at home, and hope is to be able to go back home and that things change for the better.

VENEZUELA.
Do you want to add something?
I would like to send a message to the government of Curacao to please help us in this situation. It is not our fault. We did not want to come here but we were forced to.
