Wealthy People in Venezuela

Natalie M. and Emma R.

Hello Stoneleigh Walkers!

Are you allowed to wlk to a friend's house alone? Well, if you were from a wealthy family and if you were a girl in Venezuela, that would not be an option. If a girl wanted to go out, all her male brothers and cousins had to surround her to make sure other males kept away.

At home, life is a lot better. No matter what gender, you are served and waited on. Cooking and cleaning are not allowed. Parties are frequent, but when you go to bed, enormous bugs and even small animals like chameleons come inside because there are no screens or glass over the windows!
