Vita Randazzo escribe sobre un día de Mercado en la ciudad fronteriza de Jimaní
La reciente solidaridad del pueblo dominicano con Haití – evidente en su espontánea e inmediata respuesta al terremoto del 2010 – ha sido puesta a prueba cotidianamente debido a la presencia de personas haitianas en la República Dominicana, espacialmente en la franja fronteriza.

Fabiola’s story
“People in the cities – they make the decisions, but they don’t know what it is like here.
“They are in their offices, they cannot imagine this life – maybe if they visited, but they do not.
“Rural people eat, breathe and sleep agriculture. For this we need water. We have to protect mother earth, and care for her.”
