UTPMP - Precaria: Un país del que poco se habla

[Español y ASL]

"Humans are divided into different clans and tribes, and belong to countries and towns. But I find myself a stranger to all communities and belong to no settlement. The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe."
— Khalil Gibran


Soy... soy lo que dejaron
Soy toda la sobra de lo que se robaron
Un pueblo escondido en la cima
Mi piel es de cuero, por eso aguanta cualquier clima

Soy una fábrica de humo
Mano de obra campesina para tu consumo
frente de frío en el medio del verano
El amor en los tiempos del cólera, mi hermano!

Si el sol que nace y el día que muere
Con los mejores atardeceres
Soy el desarrollo en carne viva
Un discurso político sin saliva
Las caras más bonitas que he conocido
Soy la fotografía de un desaparecido
La sangre dentro de tus venas
Soy un pedazo de tierra que vale la pena
Una canasta con frijoles, soy Maradona contra Inglaterra
Anotándote dos goles
Soy lo que sostiene mi bandera
La espina dorsal del planeta, es mi cordillera

Soy lo que me enseñó mi padre
El que no quiere a su patría, no quiere a su madre
**Soy américa Latina, un pueblo sin piernas, pero que camina**

-- Martin Luther King, Jr

You are a lovely person.

[patagonis]

oh! hablas español?

qué gusto ver esto. En el video ella dice "aqui se comparte" ("lo mio es tuyo" - pensé - casi como un reflejo...no sé si eso es bueno, pero es)

Un abrazo desde muy muy al sur, yo te ayudo con los subtitulos. Ya hay algo hecho o es empezar de cero? avísame, me pongo de cabeza ahora mismo aprovechando el impulso, la emoción y el azul clarito en los pulmones!

cariños, andrea

All your videos are very inspiring, but I especially like this one. This is the reality of how many people live around the world. It is a beautiful thing how you and your friends in the video helped this lady. I was speechless while watching the video. I can see how happy she is of having a new safer home, something that many take for granted. Is this part of an organization to help and if so how can others get involved to help these families I love her sense of humor!

Genial documental, una gran idea, ya he hecho difusión de éste vídeo.

Beautiful. Is this anywhere near Montellano by any chance? My friend started a school called Colegio Makarios for 3 communities near there. I was curious if you'd heard of it or seen it. I want to go there someday! Don't a lot of deaf communities in the DR use ASL?

You sound so Dominican! lol. Have you ever explained how you know ASL, English, and Spanish so well? & ur a medical student. sheesh! I'm sure you've already heard this a million times but you're awesome dude! Best wishes.
