Maicol Velasco

Maicol Velasco is a resilient Venezuelan migrant who relocated to Colombia seven years ago from Barquisimeto. Initially unfamiliar with car painting, he learned various techniques through observation and practice in workshops. Currently, he works in a bustling automotive maintenance area in Bogotá, where he strives to establish a reputation among clients while navigating the challenges of being undocumented. Velasco aims to eventually own his own automotive service, but he faces obstacles in accessing social security benefits and financial opportunities due to his lack of proper documentation.
