Many teachers in crisis-stricken Venezuela are forced to work multiple jobs, or pool their money with family.

An 80-percent drop in GDP over a decade of increasingly repressive rule by President Nicolas Maduro since 2013 has pushed more than eight million Venezuelans to seek a better life elsewhere.

A basket of food essentials for a family of four in Venezuela costs about $500 a month, 33 times the salary of a teacher.
