For a story on Cuba-Venezuela relations, I interviewed several Venezuelan UM students to get their opinions. The students were part of a recently formed group called Estudiantes por la Democracia, or Students for Democracy. I was so surprised to see how passionate these students felt about the relationship that their home country had with Cuba. They expressed their deep concerns for future cooperation between the two countries. Even more interesting was the fact that students were coming together to become activists. They wanted to inform the Venezuelan community, and the general public, in Miami about how their native country could eventually end up. By organizing forums/panels, and discussions with community leaders, the student group plans on spreading the word about the situation in Venezuela.
It should be noted that the student group is not affiliated with the University of Miami, although many of its members are UM students. The group is also open to students from other colleges/universities.
