Recently the project has been quite inactive for reasons that as you know are beyond our control. We have always wanted to help as many people as possible but it is very difficult to do so when the same country has difficulties that cross the economic, social, political, communication and now even medical with the arrival of uncertain cases of coronavirus that the government prefers to silence. It is also worth remembering that this project experienced [a difficult situation during the great national blackout](https://steempeak.com/aidvenezuela/@aid.venezuela/aid-venezuela-or-venezuela-under-shadows-again) that caused a lot of havoc in the nation and left us far from the world. Recently, several studies have shown concern about this situation that may be extended very soon. In Venezuela it is difficult to believe the news that comes from the same government guild, almost always a "no" means "yes" and a "yes" means "no" which makes them lose their credibility. One of these aspects is the energy issue. Although Venezuela has carried out various repair operations on the electrical system of the main "Guri" dam, these repairs do not completely cover the damage that keeps more than half of its turbines shut down. Thus, a non-governmental group warned last Thursday about the possibility of another national blackout due to the period of drought that has just begun in the nation. "It is to be considered that Venezuela, unlike other countries, has four seasons, but these are observed as a completely hot and hot climate (drought), or a season of cold and constant rain. Which is reflected as if we only had two seasons." In 2019 alone, national failures could exceed 87,000, and that number is growing every year. Venezuela only in 2019 had at least 6 known blackouts which the president catalogued as "sabotage" but later the state of the main energy plants of the nation and their deterioration due to lack of investment became known. "The dry cycle is coming and the problem is going to get worse," said Aixa López, who is the president of the Committee of People Affected by Blackouts, created in 2010 and which has representation in all 23 states of the country. The country's main hydroelectric plant, El Guri, generates an average of 5,600 mv despite having a capacity of 14,000, while thermoelectric plants are barely operational, she explained. It is a fact that blackouts will continue to occur in the country and this has been observed in recent news, especially in the insular area of the country where temperatures have reached above average levels and caused short circuits in the power lines. Also families in less populated areas such as the Andean region of Tachira state have suffered from these blackouts, where they can exceed 8 hours without the service incapacitating the population to perform their daily tasks. As a project, this is an issue that worries us a lot and it is necessary to remind them of the importance for us to continue developing our work. Working in this situation has been difficult and we only hope that we can continue to count on all of you in the face of a future energy crisis.

Recientemente el proyecto ha estado bastante inactivo por motivos que como saben son ajenos a nuestra voluntad. Siempre hemos querido ayudar a la mayor cantidad de personas posibles pero es muy difícil hacerlo cuando el mismo país tiene dificultades que atraviesan lo económico, social, político, comunicacional y ahora incluso medico con llegada de casos inciertos de coronavirus que el gobierno prefiere callar. También es de recordar que este proyecto vivió una situación difícil durante el gran apagón nacional que causó muchísimos estragos en la nación y que nos dejó alejados del mundo. Recientemente, diversos estudios muestran preocupación ante esta situación que al parecer puede tener una prórroga muy pronto. En Venezuela es difícil creer las noticias que vienen de parte del mismo gremio gubernamental, casi siempre un "no" significa "si" y un "si" significa "no" lo que los hace perder la credibilidad. Uno de estos aspectos es en cuanto al tema energético. Si bien, Venezuela realizó diversas operaciones de reparación en el sistema eléctrico de la represa principal "Guri", estas reparaciones no cubren completamente ante el daño que mantiene mas de la mitad de sus turbinas apagadas. Es así como un grupo no gubernamental advirtió el pasado jueves sobre la posibilidad de un nuevo apagón nacional motivado al periodo de sequía que recién esta iniciando en la nación. "Es de considerar que Venezuela a diferencia de otros países si posee 4 estaciones, pero estas se dan a observar como un clima completamente cálido y caluroso (sequía), o una temporada de frío y lluvias constantes. Lo que se refleja como si solo tuviésemos dos estaciones." Tan solo en el año 2019 las fallas a nivel nacional pudieron superar las más de 87000 siendo un número que crece cada año. Venezuela tan solo en 2019 tuvo al menos 6 apagones conocidos las cuales el presidente catalogó como "sabotajes" pero más tarde se conocido el estado de las principales plantas energéticas de la nación y su deterioro por falta de inversión. “Ya viene el ciclo seco y el problema se va a agudizar”, dijo Aixa López, quien es la presidente del Comité de Afectados por los Apagones, creado en el año 2010 y que cuenta con representación en los 23 estados del país. La central principal hidroeléctrica del país, EL Guri, genera en promedio unos 5.600 mv pese a que tiene capacidad para 14.000, mientras que las centrales termoeléctricas apenas si están operativas, explicó. Es un hecho que en el país van a continuar ocurriendo apagones y esto se ha observado recientemente en noticias, sobre todo en la zona insular del país en donde las temperaturas han alcanzado niveles por encima del promedio y causado cortocircuitos en los tendidos eléctricos. Asimismo familias en zonas menos pobladas como la región andina del estado Táchira han sufrido de estos apagones, en donde pueden superar las 8 horas sin el servicio incapacitando a la población para realizar sus labores diarias. Como proyecto este es un tema que nos preocupa bastante y es necesario recordarles la importancia para nosotros en seguir desarrollando nuestra labor. Trabajar en esta situación ha sido difícil y solo esperamos poder seguir contando con todos ustedes ante una futura crisis energética.

As a project we want to continue working for the Venezuelan people and we have decided to continue the good work even against the adversities, price of the crypto currencies, country/economic situation and other problems that have stagnated the development of the project.

We thank you again for all your support and we hope to be able to count on you in this new opportunity.
