Representatives of various Consejo Communales, or "Community Councils", hold a meeting on a basketball court in Calvario, a a poor slum in Caracas. These councils have become a center piece of Hugo Chavez's policy. These groups meet a few times a month and discuss problems in the community and propose projects and solutions. They then take these proposals to the government who tries to oversee their completion.
