Naomi Campbell, Chavez put limelight on children

She was particularly impressed by claims that 1,200 Venezuelan children can be treated along with others from other Latin American countries, ABN was quoted by DPA as saying.

According to the report, Campbell talked to Chavez about social projects for children, housing and education and said she would like to work on such an initiative in Venezuela.

Venezuela's Chavez is at loggerheads with western countries, especially the US, as he consolidates power at home and currently governs by decree.
