The batey of Villa Hermosa, despite its name (English for beautiful Hermoso ), has only the pleasant smiles of children who live there . For the rest is not very different from other bateys which is littered with the Dominican Republic. The homes are small wooden buildings now faded by time. The interior is bare, some chest, a table, some stools and straw mats to sleep on, they make up the furniture. In one corner, a container for water collection in a well, used for washing and cooking.
Here, as in other bateys , people look restless strangers: the tourists are perhaps curious that, having heard of these communities of Haitian laborers used for cutting sugar cane, wants to know close this reality, or are the vanguard of the authorities who are in search of illegal immigrants to deport them? These communities of Haitians fled their country's endemic poverty, because they live in semi-clandestine: tolerated at the time of the cut I persecuted the barrel and the end of the crop.
Here there are no health centers and services of any kind: the only support that the inhabitants of bateys receive is that of voluntary organizations and some local churches. In collaboration with one of these, the Iglesia Nuevo Amanecer with Christ Solidaria began supporting the school's primary batey of Villa Hermosa in the province of the Roman built by parents of children with makeshift materials, circumstances where about one hundred and fifty children study in the conditions that the images document.
We want to give hope to these students and their teachers, and build a real school, where you can learn in decent conditions. But to achieve this we need to support all the students in this school and to ensure that the batey in which they live, beautiful, in addition to their smile, has the school.
