Gessner: (excerpts recorded at dinner)
“They don't have jobs....most of them do a bad thing too. They don't have jobs and then like...a prostitution. When you see like a kids like have a baby like um 12 years old..13 years old got a baby. Because what? They find someone in his way and they say make a love for money and then what? Bad prostitution. And then some of them drink alcohol and do bad stuff marijuana...you know...they're very common in Haiti too and then um kill people to get money some times.
It's very difficult. There's no jobs and I heard the government say they create jobs I don't see it. I don’t see it They lie to the people all the time. No jobs”
“We need to fight for the right thing and stand up together for the right thing. The right thing is save the people. Save the life of the people by any way is possible for you.”
“I’m always happy even though things is not working as well in my life. Always. Even in my house I never--they don't know what I'm they don't know what happened in my life. They don't know the pain that I have inside of my heart. But I'm still happy laughing smile...and in the morning I wake up and its the same thing because God put that joy in my heart to encourage another people.”
“We need to fight for the right thing and stand up together for the right thing. The right thing is save the people. Save the life of the people by any way is possible for you.”
I remember Eric asked me a question: "What is the first thing we need to do for someone?" I say the first thing is educate people.
If i say rice...It's gonna be for one week or two days. Soon as he's finished he's back again to you.
If you give a knowledge to people educate people, he will have it in mind and someday will open the door will be open for them and they could find jobs.
This is the better way.

So thank you so much and i really appreciate that and i don't have much money but i have Haitian money (laugh)You don't want to use Haitian money in the States! okay? (Laughs) joking (laughs) Thank you so much.
