[591][607] Okay.
[655][681] Maybe I've added too much condiment.
[768][809] We are now in Bangsak village
[830][852] in Southern Thailand.
[860][886] Maew came here 10 years ago
[890][928] and she met the children|when they were so young
[932][958] like two or three years old.
[962][1011] And after some time,|Maew decided to come back.
[1094][1129] My name is Jeera Van Dam
[1149][1174] and my nickname is Maew. 
[1177][1206] That's how people here call me:|teacher Maew.
[1209][1255] I'm from Southern Thailand,|Ranong Province
[1261][1290] and I moved here after the tsunami.
[1296][1337] It means that I started|to live here in 2005.
[1346][1394] I felt that I wanted to help|the people affected by the tsunami.
[1409][1445] I saw everything on television,|at that time I was living in Bangkok
[1450][1499] and I wanted to do something,|so I registered to be a volunteer here
[1506][1533] to come with a Christian organisation
[1538][1567] and they sent me|to take care of the kids
[1570][1592] of a sea gypsy village.
[1597][1640] The Moken are sea gypsies
[1650][1681] that are spread out|along the Andaman Sea
[1694][1730] in Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand.
[1739][1771] They usually move around|and have no land.
[1774][1810] When I arrived here|I helped to build the houses
[1815][1840] of this area,|from Takuapa to Khao Lak
[1844][1869] depending on where|they'd send me to build.
[1873][1901] Because here they had|to start a kindergarten
[1906][1938] but when I came here|the building wasn't finished yet
[1941][1964] and I had to wait to manage it.
[2388][2417] In Ranong I'm from the countryside too
[2423][2446] but it's not really like this,
[2449][2476] it's different form here, of course.
[2488][2527] I had always wanted to stay in a city
[2533][2574] with big department stores|and shopping centres,
[2579][2609] that's why I chose to live in Bangkok.
[2626][2663] In Bangkok I worked in a marketing company
[2678][2712] and had a job as a marketing manager.
[2726][2751] I would feel lonely sometimes
[2754][2795] because nobody was talking,|they were just working
[2809][2846] but I think that I was also happy|living there.
[2851][2874] I had my own life there
[2877][2903] and I'd do what I wanted to do.
[2916][2947] Every week I'd go to the spa because...
[2950][2973] Thai people don't like dark skin
[2976][3002] and I don't like it either
[3008][3036] so I'd try to become lighter.
[3044][3079] In Bangkok I got honey skin
[3083][3104] like light honey skin.
[3113][3139] Everyone told me|that I had a beautiful skin
[3142][3165] but when I came here,|after the first month
[3168][3196] I looked again like when I was young
[3200][3238] and everyone would tease me|because I was black.
[3269][3311] In this one I had just begun|working in the South
[3318][3343] and I was looking for a camera.
[3352][3387] Here I'm very black already|from working here, you see?
[3396][3418] It's a terrible picture.
[3424][3464] I would say that I'd cry|almost every night for that,
[3487][3528] I'd cry, I'd read the Bible|and I'd cry while I was here.
[3543][3581] I'd cry every day when I came:|"Why am I here?"
[3586][3613] Also, I didn't stay in the hotel.
[3621][3659] There were boxes ready|for when they'd find dead bodies.
[3669][3708] When they found one somewhere|after the tsunami, they'd take the box
[3711][3742] and sometimes it was the one|I had slept on the night before.
[3745][3787] They'd take it away and then|give me a new one to sleep on
[3791][3837] in the open like this because|there was no house and with a mosquito net.
[3848][3887] But I'd use new ones,|they hadn't put dead people yet.
[3893][3931] At that time, they didn't mind|what we were building
[3936][3960] because they were still in shock
[3964][4005] and they were sad because|they were missing someone in their family.
[4015][4045] Even about food, they were not thinking.
[4051][4072] For three, four months...
[4076][4107] ...maybe for half year|they not thinking about anything.
[4118][4156] They'd just sit down and talk about|the tsunami that had come.
[4160][4197] Sometimes, talking about the tsunami|would scare me at night
[4204][4232] and I'd dream about|the tsunami coming again.
[4412][4449] There were many Moken villages destroyed.
[4452][4480] It hit along the coast
[4487][4515] from Takuapa to Phuket.
[4535][4568] Many cars, many motorcycles...
[4595][4614] ...and many people.
[4618][4649] All restaurants were destroyed|along the beach.
[4774][4829] The Moken living in Myanmar,|in Thailand and in Indonesia
[4834][4869] have different languages and cultures.
[4881][4911] The common nature is|that they move around
[4915][4939] and they make a living
[4954][4974] moving around with boats
[4976][5010] to earn their living with water resources.
[5021][5051] The Moken in Bangsak,|Thaptawan
[5055][5093] have already changed|the nature of their work
[5097][5121] and the nature of their life.
[5130][5166] In comparison to the Moken|in Myanmar
[5169][5195] they're much improving their life.
[5290][5315] All the houses in the village|were destroyed.
[5319][5344] Can you see the houses|in the bamboo style?
[5350][5376] They built them after the tsunami.
[5443][5479] Before the tsunami,|in houses like these...
[5492][5527] Almost ten people would stay there,
[5530][5558] like two or three families|were living together in one house.
[5561][5583] I've heard it from people here.
[5587][5625] And after the tsunami|those who came to build the houses said:
[5629][5652] "You have the land, you must separate."
[5655][5674] They allocated one house
[5677][5712] for one family,|which means three or four people.
[5716][5748] It's better for them,|the tsunami made their lives better.
[5754][5800] The Royal King set up|many residential areas
[5811][5840] for the Moken people
[5844][5868] and for the victims of the tsunami.
[5880][5929] So the Royal Family bought many lands
[5945][5978] and built a small house for each family.
[5992][6033] In 2005 I worked|with all the kids in the village.
[6195][6224] They parents didn't mind very much|about the children.
[6227][6248] Sometimes they'd drop them|to the kindergarten
[6251][6273] without shower and smelling of pee.
[6276][6306] They'd wake up|and throw them at us directly.
[6310][6350] Some people had ear infections|at six or seven months
[6354][6374] since they were born.
[6377][6402] And sometimes after school|I'd go to their house:
[6405][6428] "Did you give the medicines to your kid?"
[6431][6453] I'd go all the time to ten kids.
[6458][6490] I'd walk... not walk, drive a motorcylcle
[6503][6552] to make sure the kids had taken|the medicines in the morning and lunchtime.
[6558][6585] If some forgot them,|I needed to drive to their home:
[6588][6629] "Did you give him the morning one yet?"|If not I'd give it to him.
[6633][6666] So I'd follow up all the kids|to show them in this way...
[6672][6705] ...to make the parents understand|that I cared about their kids
[6727][6772] and by doing that, in my heart|I felt that they were my family.
[6785][6809] I'd take care of them and feel like:
[6813][6847] "I couldn't give up with you,|I want to help you."
[6861][6903] I worked in the kindegarten for six years
[6917][6965] then I met my husband|who had come to volunteer
[6969][7012] and we fell in love|and got married in 2010
[7022][7051] so then I decided to move to Holland.
[7060][7094] And when I came back here,|the youths of before
[7103][7147] who were 16 or 17,|had a baby when I came back.
[7152][7189] They were still going to school|when I married with my husband
[7193][7214] but when I came back
[7217][7251] some kids were pregnant,|they were 15 or 14 years old
[7255][7277] and it shocked my feelings a little bit.
[7281][7312] One year later we came back here again
[7314][7343] to visit my family and the kids here
[7350][7379] and of the group before,|they all had children.
[7383][7422] And I saw that my students,|the younger kids
[7426][7461] who I was very close to|because I had taken care of them,
[7470][7490] were teenagers.
[7493][7517] I said: "Soon they will..."
[7520][7574] I didn't want that to happen,|so when I went back to Holland I said:
[7579][7610] "This is serious, God told me|I need to go back
[7620][7658] for those kids in the village."
[7676][7703] I talked to my husband and he said:
[7708][7734]  "Can't we wait some more years here?"
[7738][7761] "No, we need to go."
[7766][7788] Among the Moken people
[7795][7828] normally, every family have their own boat
[7842][7861] in the remote areas
[7864][7902] but the Moken in Thailand|and now in Bangsak
[7912][7943] have already changed their traditional job.
[7951][8001] They go to the sea but|they don't sleep in the sea like before,
[8007][8038] they've already changed their lifestyle
[8043][8072] like a normal fisherman's
[8078][8113] and when they come back|they don't sleep on the boat anymore,
[8119][8150] they sleep at home,|they have their own house.
[8163][8197] It means that they are Moken
[8201][8230] but they're trying
[8240][8279] to adapt themselves|to local Thai people. 
[8343][8382] About one year after that talk
[8392][8420] we moved to Thailand to start...
[8428][8452] We rented the house here
[8455][8497] and then we opened,|I went house to house.
[8500][8538] Some kids didn't recognise me|because they were young
[8542][8585] and when I left|they were only five or six years old
[8589][8630] but when I went to remind them:|"Oh, teacher Maew!"
[8638][8685] Like that it was easy for me|to start the afterschool again.
[8706][8752] All thanks to relationships,|I would say that.
[8894][8937] Some of our students|don't have any opportunity
[8940][8973] to study in a good school
[8978][9007] or to have good teachers.
[9030][9065] I'm telling you,|they don't have any money
[9069][9095] to pay for extra school.
[9107][9144] The government prepares|the education exams
[9149][9177] because they can study|for free until grade 9
[9182][9205] and then they can choose their life path.
[9208][9240] If you don't go to school,|you have to get married
[9247][9278] or you have to go out to work,|only that
[9282][9309] but most of them decide to get married
[9313][9336] because they don't have money to pay.
[9341][9371] I have asked them this question sometimes:
[9375][9432] "What would you do if I hadn't come here|and there was no afterschool?"
[9437][9464] And they said: "I'd get married!"
[9477][9500] Yes, they really said that.
[9503][9545] The Moken people that I know|get married very young.
[9557][9585] Not Thai people, but some Thais do that 
[9589][9610] when they live in the countryside.
[9620][9648] That's the reason why Maew came here.
[9968][10009] I make them see that it's important|to take care of each other in the family
[10018][10055] so you need to spend time|taking care of the family relationship,
[10058][10086] I go to do this too.
[10099][10138] And then I work so that|they don't get pregnant too early
[10151][10178] and for the boys,|I keep them away from the drugs.
[10181][10213] If they're in a group together,|it's easy to push them
[10223][10243]  to do something bad
[10247][10264] but if they come we're in control,
[10267][10308] we find activities that they like|to find out what they want to do next
[10314][10339] and sometimes give them little jobs to do
[10345][10369] so they cannot start thinking about
[10372][10398] boyfriends and girlfriends|or drugs.
[10739][10797] Once they leave the school|they behave like independent people
[10802][10836] and they might easily end up badly
[10845][10883] using drugs, there are|many kinds of drugs around here.
[10902][10942] I saw many young men...
[10950][11002] Before going to work|they buy one bottle of alcohol.
[11010][11050] This alcohol is not whiskey|or something of good quality,
[11055][11090] it's a very strong and rough one
[11094][11132] because it's the cheapest one,|but it's expensive anyway.
[11135][11179] It's more than 100 baht for one bottle.|(1,60 euro, nda)
[11182][11223] In one day they earn only 300 baht
[11232][11262] so I think they cannot save the money.
[11276][11307] It means that some people drink all day
[11313][11330] from morning
[11333][11379] because they bring it|along with them at work.
[11497][11539] One girl had a boyfriend|when she was 13 years old.
[11549][11570] Normally they'd stop school
[11573][11598] but I went to her house|and talked to her mother.
[11601][11632] She couldn't work anywhere|but they wanted to be together
[11635][11656] and then I went to talk to the man:
[11659][11696] "If you want a relationship,|I want her to go to school".
[11704][11732] Then I took her to the healthcare
[11735][11767] where they gave her advice|on how to control
[11769][11793] not getting pregnant|before she was ready.
[11807][11849] We couldn't stop them|because for them like this is normal,
[11855][11895] not going to school, having a partner
[11903][11939] and children that you cannot take care of,|leave them to the grandmother
[11942][11960] or leave them alone.
[11994][12040] They are not very serious|about marriage life
[12051][12104] because they don't think about their future|and that of their children.
[12111][12139] They just get married and have babies
[12152][12185] and let the babies grow up like they did.
[12194][12217] They have no plan for the children
[12221][12270] unless the organisations|provide something for education.
[12286][12324] Otherwise they wouldn't|let the children go to school.
[12345][12394] It's always like... Before 20 years old|it's fine for them
[12402][12439] because their boyfriends|still care about them
[12442][12466] but after 20 they separate.
[12472][12494] But they didn't show them that,
[12497][12538] they think: "They can dress up nicely,|get make up and buy the clothes".
[12544][12581] When they separate,|the woman turns to drinking
[12590][12620] or gambling.
[12625][12668] So that has become the cyrcle of their life
[12672][12691] and no one takes them out from it.
[12694][12737] I said: "You see, now we have an example.|Do you want your kid to become like that?
[12742][12777] If not, have one when you're ready|to take care of him."
[12862][12897] They don't care,|or they don't know the value of...
[12930][12947] ...of the environment,
[12949][12985] I mean of the clean environment|around them.
[12991][13034] Most of the organisations working|for the Moken people
[13042][13066] mostly think of education
[13077][13122] but I've never heard of organisations|who are working
[13128][13166] for environmental campaigns|in the village.
[13181][13224] They don't focus on that,|they focus on education, only that.
[13238][13280] Sometimes I get angry too, and my husband|needs to take me somewhere else.
[13294][13334] It's when the burnout is coming|and he knows it, so he says:
[13338][13369] "Okay, have a break for a week,|just go away
[13372][13397] clean your mind|and take everything out."
[13400][13441] It has happened two or three times already|in three years, I'm telling you.
[13448][13481] Sometimes it's too much,|there are no rules...
[13488][13535] Every day I clean, you see? And when|evening comes everything is messy again
[13542][13580] and they never throw the garbage|in the bin that I prepare,
[13583][13604] they throw it on the way.
[13610][13641] The Moken are still treated
[13646][13670] by the surrounding Thai people
[13674][13706] something like second-class people.
[13716][13757] For example, Thai people think|that the Moken
[13762][13784] are uneducated
[13790][13815] and that the children are dirty
[13820][13868] and intellectually|not as good as Thai children.
[13885][13922] My babysitter, whenever|she shouts to my son:
[13941][13973] "Don't behave like that,|you're behaving like a Moken..."
[13995][14026] It means that they think the Moken
[14050][14076] are not the same as Thai children.
[14095][14126] You can break the cyrcle|but you need to have patience with them,
[14130][14160] just show them and see them|and love them for what they are
[14165][14190] and they will come to you.
[14862][14895] We moved the activities to my rented house
[14899][14932] but it was too messy for my husband
[14938][14989] because he has a normal job|and when he comes back tired from work
[14992][15016] here there are about... sometimes 20,
[15019][15052] sometimes 10, not a lot, sometimes 7
[15054][15090] but sometimes 20, 25 kids come around.
[15374][15393] I care about my family too
[15396][15435] so then we started to build the new house
[15441][15472] with the house|and the learning centre together,
[15476][15526] above it's our house, so there's|a private area for my kids and my husband
[15531][15555] and downstairs there's the learning centre.
[15559][15593] We also built a room|for volunteers, so when they come
[15595][15643] they can have their private space|after getting tired with the kids.
[15658][15689] Also, when the kids have a problem
[15693][15735] they'll come to stay with us|overnight too.
[15746][15767] When their parents
[15784][15814] have a fight or get drunk
[15833][15853] they fight with children
[15856][15888] and they run to Maew and stay over.
[15892][15930] When they need|to stay temporarily with us
[15935][15973] they have their own room|where they can feel comfortable
[15983][16009] before they go back to their family.
[16017][16051] The parents don't need to worry about them.
[16056][16075] Before the kids would run away
[16079][16104] and then they'd be in a couple|and get married
[16108][16143] but now when they have a problem|they can come to be with us.
[16155][16200] They can be happy there|and don't need to think too much.
[16814][16842] We are setting the outside|for the activities too
[16846][16885] like this area, that's the classroom|and this is the visitor's room.
[16888][16933] If volunteers or other people come|they can stay there.
[16952][16978] Another Thai kitchen is over there
[16982][17029] and here we'll have the table for the kids|to sit down when there's no rain like this.
[17032][17052] And that is the garden,
[17055][17088] I will put some seats in front of it
[17091][17129] so the kids can sit|and run around outside too.
[17365][17396] We asked it to the church
[17400][17447] and they gave it to us without any promise.
[17453][17503] The only guarantee was my word,|and they gave us money.
[17509][17532] But what we thought...
[17535][17569] Because of many mistakes in the house|made by the builders
[17574][17594] we needed to fix many things.
[17597][17634] We spent carefully|and saved everything
[17640][17679] but the money was still not enough|to finish the building.
[17697][17736] We both worked extra|to pay the labour.
[17748][17776] To save some money
[17780][17812] we tried to work too.
[17818][17864] Normally we'd need to pay for the labour,|but we cut that
[17867][17900] and my husband and I became the labour.
[17902][17941] And sometimes the volunteers from Italy,
[17947][17966] they're good help.
[17971][18009] The first time I was scared|but now I'm used to it.
[18012][18028] Go, Anna.
[18037][18058] Ehm... yes, it's okay.
[18066][18094] It can help saving money.
[18281][18307] Our savings are also finished,
[18310][18358] if something happened in our lives,|we don't know what we could do.
[18374][18418] But we still trust and belive|that everything will be okay.
[18421][18453] We just keep going and try to finish
[18457][18492] because even if the house|is not complete
[18496][18528] some areas for the kids are finished,
[18533][18564] we've started to teach them and it works.
[18571][18605] We have separate,|clear areas in the building.
[18613][18647] Upstairs is totally our house
[18657][18686] and then downstairs is more about
[18692][18717] the kids' area.
[18722][18752] There are a study room,|a volunteer room
[18755][18787] and then a living room for the activities.
[18801][18836] Then we have a kitchen there for us to cook
[18841][18884] but sometimes the kids have cooking class,|so they can use it together,
[18894][18926] this is why we decided|to put it downstairs.
[18999][19032] They know each other,|they live in the same village
[19036][19069] and they go to the same school,|but in different grades.
[19086][19117] I was teaching English,|helping with homework
[19120][19143] and doing the activities
[19147][19185] like singing a song|or leading the games.
[19207][19247] I teach from 4 to 6,|but it depends....
[19251][19302] If they have to work more|or if they have a lot of homework
[19307][19341] they will stay more,|but at least until 7pm.
[19361][19394] Half of the kids in the village|come to use for free.
[19399][19433] If they come, study|and do activities often
[19438][19460] everything is free.
[19466][19510] And what they need for school|they can come to tell me
[19515][19553] and I can go looking for them|or buy it for them.
[19564][19607] We do this because we want them|to have a good education
[19610][19636] and understand what they're studying.
[19797][19820] Okay, good!
[20016][20059] Of all the income of the family,|we give to the project 10%
[20065][20091] so that I can buy the material.
[20108][20139] The money also comes from my work,
[20146][20183] now I have volunteers from Italy|who come to study Thai
[20192][20223] so that money helps the project too.
[20229][20255] And there's money
[20261][20284] from the church in Bangkok.
[20287][20331] They give me every month 3.000 baht|(77 euros, nda),
[20335][20359] it's my salary per month.
[20367][20404] We also get money from a friend in Holland
[20416][20443] who gives us 30 euros per month
[20451][20482] to buy material
[20491][20534] and to pay for the gas when I need|to drop the kids to their house,
[20548][20588] and sometimes we need to buy|food for the kids too.
[20599][20634] My husband works normally and he said
[20638][20681] all the income for the family,|he would take responsibility of
[20684][20719] and he said: "You just run the project".
[20970][21000] There are 16 students
[21012][21035] or more.
[21039][21060] It depends on them.
[21067][21096] I didn't want to keep records,|because I didn't want...
[21099][21130] Some day they may see|the books that I've recorded
[21133][21168] and feel like I do this|because I raise money
[21172][21215] but it's not true|so I do this without any record.
[21223][21254] I'd need to make them nice,|but sometimes they are not nice
[21260][21302] they're not good, they haven't|become better, some got worse.
[21308][21347] When I'm writing it down,|I feel doubtful myself too:
[21351][21373] "Why didn't I help them?"
[21375][21400] Like this it goes naturally,
[21403][21442] if they don't get better I just go|and talk to them and let it go too.
[21446][21489] If I'm writing a record,|it reminds me that...
[21501][21524] I need ot work hard with that kid
[21528][21560] but normally if you insist|too much, sometimes the kid...
[21579][21603] ...doesn't feel comfortable.
[21800][21838] The kids that come to our project|are from 6
[21842][21866] to 19 years old.
[21870][21900] Of 19 years old there's a girl
[21919][21950] that came to us after she got pregnant
[21954][21979] and she had problems in her life.
[21984][22029] So the project doesn't only accept|the kids who go to school,
[22036][22080] the older kids that have problems|can come to join us too.
[22093][22126] They come because they need some help
[22129][22172] and they don't understand at all at school,|so they come to us.
[22177][22217] Some they come by themselves:|"I want to study more".
[22223][22265] Then sometimes the kids|feel lazy to study and they stop
[22270][22308] but in that case the parents say:|"No, you need to go,
[22312][22349] teacher Maew came asking me|why you don't go anymore."
[22352][22381] So at the beginning they want to come
[22384][22420] and then the parents feel:|"It's good they come, they can learn more".
[22428][22459] I also have some kids to whom|the parents said: "You need to go"
[22462][22492] because they coulnd't read even Thai
[22496][22548] and didn't know even|the easy fundamentals of math.
[22836][22867] Sometimes the kid feels|he doesn't want to go to school,
[22874][22915] he says he has a headache|and the parents: "Okay, don't go".
[22920][22961] But I drive my motorcycle|in the morning to prey, right?
[22968][23001] And when I saw one wasn't at school:|"Why didn't you go to school?"
[23005][23053] - "My uniform is wet."|- "Okay, take it to my house."
[23057][23114] I dry it, iron it and then I take them|to school, even if they go late.
[23118][23155] I've done it two or three times|and after that they are scared.
[23188][23225] If they don't go to school,|they hide from me.
[23235][23286] It's funny, but most of them go to school|because I check from the bus driver.
[23296][23328] If they're really sick okay,|they deserve to stop school
[23332][23370] but if they just say: "I have a headache,|I'm not ready to go"
[23376][23401] you need to ask if they've washed|their uniform
[23404][23421] because some kids have only one.
[23424][23457] Now the parents are getting better,|they try to force them...
[23461][23487] ...force their kids to go to school.
[23493][23529] So for me it works|by visiting the families.
[23676][23731] Most of the parents are happy and feel safe|when their kids come to our project
[23736][23769] because they feel they don't need |to worry about where they are
[23772][23798] or if they're driving a motorcycle|to go somewhere.
[23803][23827] When they know they are with me
[23829][23860] it doesn't matter|if they're studying or not.
[23863][23915] But I'm Christian and in Thailand|religion is a very sensitive topic
[23923][23981] so others feel: "She will change|our kid's mind to be a Christian".
[23992][24021] If I think back, when I was young
[24029][24048] someone told me too:
[24052][24083] "When you go to university,|don't go to the group of the Christians
[24086][24116] because they will clean your mind
[24119][24143] to make you believe
[24146][24165] in what they believe in".
[24231][24273] At first, when I came to this village|most of them were Buddhist
[24282][24325] but some see our life and|see love from us,
[24330][24353] because we stay with them with love,
[24356][24382] and some kids became Christian.
[24451][24500] If you hear that they don't have|enough money to buy food or milk...
[24569][24593] ...then you can say:|"I will help you with that."
[24595][24617] You don't need to give|everything you have...
[24656][24683] So we have three kids who accept a lot
[24685][24719] and one kid got baptised|and two are not sure yet.
[24722][24761] For me it's okay, because belief|doesn't mean that I go to change them
[24765][24795] but is a personal matter with God.
[24801][24844] For me, I want them to study|and understand what they're studying
[24847][24882] because at that point they can have|what they want in their life.
[24890][24923] I don't force everyone to go to university.
[24926][24954] I found that some people|are good at cooking
[24959][25008] and some kids really love fixing|everything in my house: "Can I fix it?"
[25011][25035] Sometimes they do it well and sometimes not
[25039][25087] but I let them do it and I tell them:|"You need to find a fixing job".
[25093][25130] Some people said|they want to study motorcycles.
[25132][25171] Because these parents don't sit with them|and listen to what they want.
[25230][25266] Not all Mokens go fishing now,
[25275][25309] some work as general workers
[25320][25343] like cutting down the trees
[25354][25384] or cleaning the farms,
[25396][25438] those heavy jobs|that Thai people don't want to do.
[25454][25488] For me God can help in the life
[25497][25528] but if they don't become Christians|but they know themselves
[25531][25556] that is also important for their lives,
[25559][25591] they're not back |to their parents' daily work:
[25601][25626] building, sometimes have a job|and sometimes not,
[25628][25662] fishing, sometimes they can get|the fish and sometimes not
[25664][25701] because they don't have a big boat|but they just go there and back in one day.
[25715][25744] And don't work cleaning the road...
[25747][25776] I'm not saying all these jobs are bad
[25793][25829] but I feel they can do more than that.
[25835][25879] Because they can see that after work|their parents start driking
[25885][25927] because they couldn't think|of something else to develop their life
[25932][25968] and get their lives better|than drinking or gambling.
[26173][26214] I want to see some kids|coming to run the project,
[26224][26264] like working with me,|while I can be beside them
[26268][26297] and they can take care|of their own people.
[26304][26329] If I can go to that
[26332][26359] for me I'd feel it was a success.
[26376][26414] When I was young|I wanted to be a businesswoman.
[26430][26488] In the movies, the women|smart for me could run a business
[26497][26536] so when I watched a movie I felt:|"One day I will be a businesswoman".
[26540][26583] But for now I feel I'm working|in a business already
[26586][26610] as I manage the project.
[26614][26638] It's a little thing that doesn't make money
[26641][26686] but the business that I do now|helps to build the people
[26695][26726] to be the lives of the future.
[26732][26770] For me that is business too, to do it
[26780][26805] but in a different way from before.
[26809][26836] I try to think it's the...
[26842][26863] ...the same thing.
[26868][26892] I don't know how to explain this.
