Jonas
I can talk about the poor's immigration, their problems or the discrimination, because in Chile this is an reality. But two weeks ago, I met Jonas ...
Jonas is living in this apocalyptic world ... full of dirt and screams, immersed in this world everyone wants to rescue him...
He's 9 years old, in the back of the room trying to learn as quickly as possible, he doesn't have time, he began to do sum in another language... I asked him Do you speak French? and he just gave the dry comment: Not really, I speak Creole to do the sum, but I speak French to, because in Haiti we speak creole and the second league is French. I learnt to speak Spanish one year ago.
After that, i talk with him about the future, what he can do for the world.... because "the world " thinks that he is a child who should be rescued ... but that day I realized that the world must be rescued from us so that children like him , can deliver all the potential they have and we need.
