The makers of a Country is their own people, no matter if they are coming from a native or a foreign origin.
People are the force that shapes the destiny and history of the land, let us say that Venezuela is that perfect example of this unnatural process; from the crude Spaniard conquest to today's dreadful Bolivarian revolution, the country is no a stranger to radical changes and social uprisings.

I’m a what you might be asking yourself ? Or are you simply asking yourself … what the hell is a TCK ?

Have you heard of Jimmie Angel ? Who was he you may ask ? Many might not know who Jimmie Angel was but I can say he did make his mark in history.
Have you heard of Angel Falls, the highest & the tallest single drop waterfall in the world (3212 feet) ? Well, Angel Falls is named after him. Not only did he discover the falls, he introduced it to the world. To put Angel Falls into perspective, Angel Falls is 2.5 times as tall as the Empire State Building and a full 15 times higher than Niagara Falls.
