Starving to death, dying of curable diseases, sold to sexual predators or simply abandoned, youngsters are paying a terrible price for Venezuela's failed socialist experiment. 'Venezuela was once the richest country in Latin America,' Dr Huniades Urbina, a director of Caracas' main children's hospital, told MailOnline. High in the hills overlooking the sprawling city of Caracas a small country house hides another tragedy for Venezuela's pitiful children. Inside the Fundacion la Casa de Ana orphanage live 27 children who would otherwise be on the street. Abandoned by the state the Fundacion la Casa de Ana relies on the charity of volunteer carers, doctors and donations to keep going.
