Reed Young

gris, 9-years-old, is one of the many children in las pajas without a birth certificate. her mother was born in haiti, and although gris was born in the dominican republic, she is not considered a legal citizen. gris cannot go to school past the 8th grade without a dominican birth certificate. more and more organizations are currently working with bateys to find ways of getting hatian children legal dominican status.
