Cuando nosotros visitamos Los Niños con una Esperanza, eche una ojeada a
la pobreza en Santiago. Hay basura en las calles, niños sin zapatos, perros en
la acerca, una cara seria en la gente.
Uno empieza a pensar que este lugar está lleno de desesperación. Pero cuando uno ve las casas y edificios en
esta parte de Santiago, ellos tienen muchos colores. Los edificios son pintados
con colores brillantes y vibrantes, pero ¿por qué en un lugar donde hay gente que tiene disparidad acerca
de su vida? Cuando uno los compara a los edificios en comunidades más
privilegiadas, los apartamentos, las casas, y los edificios no son tan coloridos.
Me pregunto ¿por qué los edificios tienen colores cuando la gente no tiene
nada?
Pienso que es porque la gente pobre tiene su cultura. Muchas personas saben que América Latina
Es posible que sea porque ellos tienen más dinero que los de la comunidad
más po, y pueden comprar cosas para celebrar su cultura. La gente puede comprar
comida de su cultura para el desayuno, el almuerzo y la cena, mientras es
posible que las personas en las comunidades pobres no coman este día. También
si uno tiene más dinero, puede comprar arte y libros de su cultura. Muchas
personas quieren conectarse con su patrimonio cultural, y cuando la gente no
tiene objetos o comida hay otras oportunidades para conectarse, y una de ellas
es el color de sus casas.

When we visited Niños con Una Esperanza, I took a glance at the poverty in Santiago. There is trash in the streets, kids without shoes, dogs on the sidewalks, a serious face with the people. One begins to think that this city is filled with desperation. But when someone sees the houses and buildings in this part of Santiago, they have many colors. The buildings are painted with bright and vibrant colors, but, why in a place where there are people that have bad feelings? When comparing the buildings in the more privileged neighborhoods, apartments and houses, the buildings are not as colored. I ask myself, why do the buildings have color when the people have nothing?
I think that this is because the poor people have their culture. Many people know that Latin America has art, monuments and objects that are vibrant in their colors and design. While the poverty has taken everything of someone, they still have their cultural heritage. When the poor construct their house, it is possible to maintain their cultural heritage through the painting of their house. It is a reminder that they have something, that not everything is lost. Also, it is a way of sharing their culture with their neighborhood and the culture unites the people in the community. But why do the people with more money in the neighborhoods not have houses or apartments with color?
It is possible that because they have more money than those in poor neighborhoods, they can buy things in order celebrate their culture. The people can buy cultural food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while it is possible that the people in the poor neighbors do not eat everyday. Also, if one has more money, they can buy art and books of their culture. Many people want to connect with their cultural heritage, and when the people don't have cultural objects or food, there are opportunities in order to connect, one of them being through the color of their houses.
