    My Scholarship entry - Life in the bateyes of Dominican Republic

    Group of tourists passing by inhabitants of the batey. The inhabitants of the host country were gathered outside sharing a moment together. I remember feeling like an unwanted guest, a creature part of a herd of loud animals with hoofs so big they could destroy everything they stepped on, a group of unjustly privileged human species confronted to a similar reality they face back home: homelessness. This moment seemed to summarize all I had ever learned on inequality, except this time it had a face.
