Former Scholarship recipient describes ongoing crisis in Venezuela as unfortunate as country celebrates Independence

​A former scholarship recipient who pursued studies in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has described as unfortunate the ongoing crisis in that country.
 
Hannah St Jean-Serrant who, a current employee at the Venezuelan Embassy, undertook a Bachelor's Degree in Human Resource management for 5 years in Venezuela.
 
Serrant said that even while pursuing studies in Venezuela, there were talks about the level of insecurity in the country which has since escalated.
 
At present, opposition forces are seeking to remove the government of President Nicolas Maduro by staging daily street demonstrations that have so far resulted  in the death of more than 80 people.
Serrant said however; that at no point during her stay in Venezuela did she feel threatened.
