00:00In Port-au-Prince, a school that once welcomed hundreds of pupils is now home to nearly 3,000 people
00:06displaced by violence.
00:08Among them is a former teacher determined to give his children a future beyond the classroom they now call home.
00:14For the 44-year-old former teacher, this is now home for him.
00:18He shares a classroom with his wife, Ayland, and three children with about 36 other people who have also been
00:25forced to flee their homes.
00:27They looted, they burned, they raped, and most of all, they killed.
00:30And well, the rest of us managed to escape, my family and I, along with others, and we ended up
00:36here.
00:37And now, well, we live here.
00:40Behind the figures, a family trying to keep their children learning, finding work, and regaining somewhere safe to live.
00:47For families living here, emergency assistance remains indispensable.
00:51So does the prospect of eventually no longer needing it.
00:55Day-to-day life is extremely difficult.
00:58I must tell you honestly that, although today we receive assistance from the state which provides us with one hot
01:03meal every day, it is not enough.
01:06Because, as you know, when you provide humanitarian assistance to people by giving them one hot meal every 24 hours,
01:12it is simply insufficient.
01:13Pierre, the president of the site, often ponders about the young people's future.
01:18He wants children in school and young adults to be given a chance to learn trade.
01:23We also have young people who have turned their backs on the violence and don't want to use arms.
01:29They, too, need support to help them learn practical trade.
01:33You see, so that they can be given another chance.
01:36Because if these young people don't receive support, we know what might happen in the next years to come.
01:43Humanitarian aid alone will not be enough.
01:47Haitian communities need support that goes beyond emergency relief, safer neighborhoods, access to basic services, and real opportunities to earn
01:56a living.
01:56Take care.
