When we started there was a big landfill next to the little soccer field. We give the kids with their parents to come and help turning it into a garden where the children would feel, that’s beautiful contrary like to the streets.

當(dāng)開(kāi)始時(shí)，小足球場(chǎng)旁邊有一個(gè)很大的垃圾填埋場(chǎng)。我們讓孩子們和他們的父母?jìng)儊?lái)幫忙把它變成一個(gè)花園，在那里孩子們會(huì)感到，與街道相反，這是美麗的。

Many people in Haiti refer to Seta Soleil as the trash place where all the dumps are but I see angels where people see this.
