Nieves has difficulty walking, and logically, working. He lives alone in a sheet metal "rancho" (shack) in the Buena Vista allotment, located to the side of the Barinas inter-communal avenue. A few meters away lives his son with his family, who also have economic problems, so he is forced to depend on the CLAP bag (Local Council of Food and Production food aid bag), which arrives only once a month to that community. The man also survives with the little that his relatives can spare him.
