Breathe
Can you feel that? Take good breaths.
Close your eyes and breathe.
If you want to close your eyes you can
if not, find a point to focus on.
We'll do one last breath now.
Good job little ones!
Take a deep breath.
Good job.
You can do it with one leg crossed
and one leg on the ground.
It's time to switch
and put the other first.
And now the other leg forward.
Good.
Pose like a warrior.
you know what you say when you do this?
I’m brave, everyone say it.
I’m brave, let’s try again.
I’m brave!
All together.
I’m brave!
Very good.
- I came here when I was 3 years old.
This is what they explained to me.
There are many stories that say my mother
and my father were serving in Voodoo.
and that they died in Voodoo.
My first house was that one. Right there.
But it was not painted like this.
Then I went to the white house.
the white one.
Then my third house was Jonah house
and then the fourth was San Diego house.
Then I went to the St. Mary house.
Then I moved to Pauline house
and after that Saint Nicolas house
After Saint Nicolas they sent me out.
St. Mary, Pauline, Jonah and St. Nicholas.
I went through all of them.
When I was older I went through all of these in one week.
When in this one there was a guy who gave me a lot of problems
He tried to fight me twice but I didn't respond that day.
But one day I took a soup ladle and hit him on the head with it.
house mom said, "you are too aggressive" and she moved me in with the older boys.
The older boys beat me I cannot say how much.
Then my brother saved me and took me to another house.
I was just too much for the other house.
This house means more to me, I was there longest.
That experience wouldn't show
that I love music.
Because I was hiding from everything.
Every time they asked me to come to the music room I said no and ran away.
And then during summer they put me in painting class
but I went to hide behind a mountain.
When they found me
and they brought me to the music room
right here.
And they gave me a guitar
and I did not like it at first.
So I put the guitar away and left.
But next day they made me return and then the next the same again.
Until I began to like it, and thought it was great.
I learned that for 6 weeks because it was summer camp.
Every Sunday Fr. Rick would come up here
I would ask him if I could borrow his guitar so I could keep getting better.
I felt like the guitar was changing me for the better
because since I started playing music my behavior changed.
I was no longer acting out.
Music changed me.
Gaelle is someone
very advanced and developed.
She has the motor of an adult.
That's why I really can't leave with her with anyone.
Because when she speaks
she speaks like a little adult.
If someone is doing something bad, she will call it like she sees it.
even if the other person won't want to hear it.
They will discover that she thinks like an adult.
Ever since she was little this is how Gaelle has been.
This is how God made her.
Did you come in tap-tap or in a motorcycle?
In tap-tap.
Oh, tap-tap.
Which one do you prefer, tap-tap or the motorcycle?
Well it wasn't a motorcycle, it was tap-tap that we took here.
Yes, but which one do you prefer?
I like tap-tap more.
Oh, why don't you like the motorcycles?
Because when it passes next to the cars it makes me scared.
They go too close.
I cannot eat salty food.
Oh really?
Can you eat rice?
Yes.
Can you eat beans?
Chicken?
What do you eat?
What do you like to eat most?
Rice.
Rice? You like rice the most?
Give me five.
Nope the other one.
Nephrotic Syndrom is a disease
where you get an inflation
and when the child has the inflation they can't take in salt, or much sugar.
So she has to avoid sugar and salt.
If she eats any salt the inflation will continue.
I live in Petionville
My husband and I have 6 children.
We both live at home. I don't work.
I always say that I would like a job
As the people down the hill get to know me
I think I will ask Fr Enzo
to look for a job for me to do
in order to take care of my kids.
because sometimes I don't even have the money to send them to school.
Actually my first child has never been to school.
I've been working here since 2012
I feel like this is my home.
I have children of my own
but when I'm here I truly
feel like these are my children.
Lourdy is one year
One year and two months.
She is one of the babies I take care of
I’m her mom.
When she first came she never laughed.
She never played. She was always crying.
Between Lourdy and the other kids,
the other kids are always happy
but Lourdy isn't as easy to please.
The day that Lourdy is happy
we're all happy too.
She loves to cry.
She loves to be upset about everything.
When they first brought her they told us that she's sick
with a heart problem.
So she was more often in the clinic.
She always had someone watching after her.
After a while
they sent her back to us.
But they were still giving her medicine every morning.
They told us that she'd have to have an operation
we didn't really know a lot about it.
I think it's always a good thing to stand before people and do something you enjoy.
Because you will be prepared to answer whatever questions
and deal with whatever obstacles that you encounter.
I am always happy when I'm standing in front teaching kids or playing music
I imagine the kids are just like I was when I was here at the orphanage.
I try to give to the kids more than 100%
to try to help them to adapt because it was difficult for me to adapt.
I imagine all the trouble I had adapting and I try to teach them better
so they learn quicker than I did.
I try to explain to them what music did for my life
and what it could do for them.
My whole life I always had the dream of becoming a professional player.
So my age is starting to get up there, I won't say it's too late yet
but I’m giving priority to other things.
So football here was always
something I did with friends.
After class we all knew where to go play.
And I think it was a beautiful challenge
because when I was 15 I joined the orphanage’s team
and played against all the older guys.
As a young kid I was playing against all of the bigger guys.
So I loved soccer and I stayed with it.
Even after I left the orphanage I always played.
I've had the chance to play in clubs
but I wasn't really interested because the organization had principles
and I wanted to respect those principles.
If I joined a club I would be abandoning those principles
the principles that helped me grow well.
So I made the choice to continue school at University.
Never say it's too late.
If you see one door close it means another is open for you.
- Saint-Victor
If I were to describe Saint-Victor
I would tell you that Saint-Victor
is a place that has many people.
Saint-Victor is somewhere where people understand each other.
They love each other.
They always want to live as family with one another.
Even if it's not completely
family and living together,
still putting our heads together.
We're hard workers.
We plant bananas, malanga, yam,
any fruit or vegetable we can grow.
Potatoes, cassava, we can grow everything.
There's nothing we don't grow.
The road that brought me to Saint-Victor
I made with my wife.
I met her and we really fell in love
I asked her to marry me and she agreed
so then we got married.
Since then I've been living here.
Here in Saint-Victor
Hurricane Matthew started
hitting really tough around 11pm.
It was really dark and no one could make it out at the time.
But God was protecting us by not letting anyone leave and have trees fall on them.
Around 5 in the morning
all the houses started to be torn apart.
A lot of the people who were in the streets
ran inside to search for shelter.
The shelter that everyone ended up running to was the church.
And the public school too.
I didn't even think to go in.
Because they made the building with a huge piece of wood in the center.
If it shook too much, it would break
and the church would fall down.
Sure enough that's what happened.
At 7 pm when the rain stopped
we went to the church and found that the roof was gone.
The roof was gone but the walls remained.
Before Hurricane Matthew
when you walked through the town in front of homes there was lots of food
tons of bananas.
Because before in Saint-Victor at Abricots
Each Monday we would load up four big trucks with food
and send it from Abricots to Port-au-Prince.
Now you couldn't load up a single donkey.
So, in a lot of ways you can see
that Saint-Victor is finished.
It’s…
It’s lost.
It broke everything. We didn't have anywhere left to live.
It's thanks to the foreigners that came to give us a little rice that we survived.
- After the hurricane ended
There were destroyed houses
schools
and churches.
But…
I've seen that it cannot destroy
your faith.
I know that with the faith that you have
there is much that you can do.
This is encouragement for you to walk together.
I cannot do everything
and you alone cannot do everything.
But by being together
and together with God
we can do anything.
If we want to return to old Saint-Victor
the way it was before, it will take a lots of time.
With help and collaboration
it is possible.
We can’t lose that collaboration.
With the timing of the breadfruit
Only God knows how long it will take.
Only God decides.
I always repeat the word, hope.
Hope.
Another that I love is, belief.
I believe deeply.
- My brothers and sisters, here are the words of the Great Master.
Yes, thank you Father in Heaven.
Let us worship the Great Master.
Praise be to him.
It is He who gave us life.
Praise be to him.
How I met Christiana is something that seems as if it were planned out.
Even if it wasn't me planning it out.
Christiana came and asked Father Enzo if there were any kids
from the orphanage who played music
Father Enzo said there was one
and asked me to come play.
So we met together in Tabarre.
I was really interested to play with her.
It was my first time playing with a professional musician.
Music is a universal language.
When you are playing, people around the world understand.
It helps us communicate with anyone without changing language.
For example I don't need to speak Italian, I just play.
Music is my life.
Before her operation there were a lot of things that she hadn't done yet.
Lourdy can now hold things, stand, play, and turn around in her crib.
God knows how much better her life will be now after her surgery.
HOME IS HOME
