Santo Domingo. Venezuela plans to build 2,000 homes for poor families in the Dominican province of Montecristi, on the border with Haiti, Governor Alejandro Toribio said yesterday.

According to Toribio, the houses will be equitably distributed among low-income people in the towns of San Fernando, Villa Vasquez, Castauelas, Guayubin and Las Matas de Santa Cruz.

The governor said Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has already sent a commission to begin construction of the 2,000 houses, which will be prefabricated. The work will start next week and the initiative will allow poor families to have a sturdy roof over their heads and live in more dignified conditions, he added.

Toribio said the homes are a sign of the Venezuelan governments solidarity with the Dominican people and hailed the strong relations between the two countries.

Under the leftist Chavez, oil-rich Venezuela has provided crude at preferential prices to Caribbean countries and even free home heating oil to poor Americans.

The preferential trade conditions Venezuela has offered to other countries in the region, like the Dominican Republic, is a good step towards lessening the power that the US government and its corporations have in the area. The less power these type of external organizations have in this region, the better chance a real democracy has.

I like to see that Venezuela has extended its helping hand not only to the countries of the region, but to the other poorer parts of the world. Like countries of Asia and Africa. I am wondering, if our messages can be reached to the ruling party of Venezuela and we can hear from them too.
