The road is a road that goes from Granada to Laguna de Apoyo.
It's about three kilometers long and it has maybe 200 houses going all the way up it.
This is the mill built of wood and old scraps of metal.
Everything is taken care of.
It's a danger to live on this road.
It would be much better, more possibilities to go out, more possibilities to go to school because the road is already good.
It would be easier to train buses and taxis.
It would be much better.
There is no possibility of being in a school, not always. When it rains, it's hard to go out to school, to university, it's a bit complicated, but for me it's the most difficult.
I want to go forward and I want a better future for me.
Do you know you're the smartest kid?
Yes.
How do you know?
Because I'm 11 years old and I'm a second age.
Why is it important to go to school here?
To do something in life.
What do you want to do?
To go to school.
Don Angel came and told us that if we wanted to take a house, I told him that we didn't have money.
But he told us that we would take it and that he would pay.
There's a family that wants to have a better house.
They ask Casas de la Esperanza if that's possible and Casas de Esperanza offers them a deal which is a microcredit system.
Meaning they would have to...
We would build the house for them with their help and they would repay it monthly until the bill is paid.
When we buy the materials to build that house, we can't.
While here they give the material so we can play with it.
That's why we decided to sell it better.
Here we've funded a pump that pumps water from this big underground lake and it's redistributed to these 80 houses.
Also the organization Casas de la Esperanza helps families or people that want to find a job.
For example, they give microcredits to a family down at the bottom of the road that makes shoes.
So there's a few machines in this house and they're making shoes.
And with the profit that the family is going to make, they have to pay it back.
A small amount every month back to Casas de la Esperanza.
The ideal would be for everyone to live in a house of Casas de la Esperanza or any other type of house
with the best infrastructure they currently have.
That the road will be fixed, that the priority would be education
and that the children would see that as a priority.
There's no school on the road, there's one at the very bottom of the road and very little children go to that school.
Well, the two priority lines I think of the foundation are the construction and education.
And education is implicit for the children.
We work with the Immaculate School and we do art classes, English classes.
In the afternoon, we have the refuerzo classes of groups of 3rd and 4th graders and 5th and 6th graders.
The organization gives out scholarships and the students or the kids have to participate
just like the volunteers in educating the smaller children.
The Casas de la Esperanza changed me a lot because that's how I was able to study all of my secondary.
In a private school, I never expected to study in a private school and it helped me a lot.
Now, good afternoon, this is Lua Rebeca Miranda, in the art class of varied music.
We are also in the TIT program.
So we are motivating the people so that we, using the impulse together with them,
to do programs, education, breakfast, community activities.
So we want to start with them and gradually they take care of that.
I think education is the basic tool for anyone, not just water, but any country.
That also means a better economic position and a better way to defend yourself from the rest.
Tell a story.
For me, education is important because you learn a lot more.
Well, you learn more and it's not ignorant, you also learn a lot of things.
Well, honestly, education is not the priority here in the neighborhood of La Prusia,
but it's one of the objectives of the foundation.
It's a family that has a lot of problems, both economic and other types.
That is to say that the environment is not very favorable, but I think there are cases and cases,
and families and families and people more committed than others.
The problem is that path, it is a path that is in very bad shape
and that is difficult in the daily life of all people.
There is not a system of washers either.
So what happens is that people throw garbage and also throw all the cold water to the ground,
which also causes diseases and infections of viruses.
Also, the sanitary problem implies that an ambulance cannot go up to here,
so in the case that someone needs help or medical support with an ambulance,
it is totally impossible.
I would have to go down that same person, up to the ground, up to the ground,
for their own benefit.
There are people who get sick at night.
They have like 15 days, the girl is there, she has a great pain.
Look, they are on a bicycle, they will go to the hospital.
On a bicycle, like two in the morning, they are sick of the woman.
There they take her on a bicycle.
It would not be better to live in a place where there is a taxi,
promise me, promise me, they have never done anything.
Look, where do you live here?
They have years and years, they say the same thing,
and this is the path that they do not make up.
Yes, but it was the law that made it up.
When you believe in yourself that you can go ahead,
that you can study, that you can go to a university,
because if you want, you will always be able to,
and you will have a better future.
Because I think that young people should think about the future,
what is going to be of them.
Let's do it then.
I'm going to turn on the light,
and now I'm going to turn on the light, up to 200.
Music
I suffer a lot, but we are going to fight.
Yes, we are going to fight life.
