In my country there's a lot of... dirt, you know?
like... fighting, fights, every day killing people.
And so you're.... it's like you are escaping, fleeing,
but people say that you are just running away, you know.
But it's better that I'm here because I feel fine.
But when you are working in Haiti, every day there is a fight, bullets flying, you understand.
And a sister of mine came to get me so that I could come stay here with her.
Because I don't want to live my whole life here in the Dominican Republic, you know.
I want to be here for awhile, 5 years, to work here
and then I want to spend the rest of my life in my country, you see.
That is what I want, I want to work now because I'm young,
I have strength to work, and to keep working as long as I can.
When it's possible to return to my country, I will
to live out my life there with the children that I'm going to have.
Well, even if you are innocent, these people find you in the street,
they kill you and then they check your pockets, and if there's nothing there they say, ah, well, sorry about that.
No one wants to live like that. You are there in your house and too bad for you if they knock, or they break down your door
and they come inside.... no one will get out alive. No one. Even if there's a one-month old infant, they will kill it.
It's not that we want a rich country, just that we want a country where there is respect.... yeah.
Because the country says liberty, equality and fraternity. And that is what we'd like.
But that is something that is very far away. And it should be the youth who are creating that.
but most of the youth are lost in drugs.
We don't know what will happen with Haiti.
But each one of us has a dream that Haiti will be Haiti like it used to be,
Not a different Haiti, just a Haiti like it was before.
