June 1 marks International Children's Day, a time to celebrate the joys and potential of children worldwide. However, in Haiti, this day also highlights the resilience of young minds amidst ongoing conflicts and turmoil.
A CGTN stringer in Haiti engaged with several children to hear their holiday wishes and future aspirations. Among them was Polon Mithsaina, a 14-year-old who dreams of becoming a doctor or a flight attendant. Polon's optimism shines through as she expresses her belief that the new generation of Haitians can transform their country into a better place.
Despite the challenges, the voices of these young individuals reflect a strong desire for peace, education, and opportunities. Their dreams serve as a beacon of hope, illustrating the unwavering spirit of Haiti's youth who are determined to create a brighter future for themselves and their nation.
