that the city has witnessed in recent years. demonstrate his voice, their anger at the privatization, his pension includes the full name of the education and health sector to pull. people are especially affected by the impact fee environmental crisis. it's a situation that could escalate dramatically, says a night. okay, so from dealing with, without doubt, santiago isn't absolutely divide up to 16 gases or from climate change is exacerbating in equality. one by this is one of the triggers for the social conflict and the injustice that so many people are experiencing even the environmental crisis is increasingly becoming a social and political crisis in affluent neighborhoods. in santiago, there's no garbage on the streets, public services work. well,
4:48 pm
there were plenty of green spaces of pox and the air is cooler and freshman. this is because they've benefit from all public spending. a lot of tax paid by companies and businesses is funneled into these districts of to 9 times more of a compet service spent here. that it's sort of the disadvantage districts what we're doing and not whether it's income from financial patents. so toes around 2 thirds goes into a municipal fund. only one 3rd stays in vista, colorado. we make an important contribution to other neighborhoods. like many neighborhoods, vanka is chronically undefended. a project like the tree planting initiative could only be funded with help from international donuts who are affecting c o 2 emissions but even more trees on to enough to mitigate the effects of climate change, especially for people us socially disadvantaged,

4:52 pm
t barrow. his mother was a single parent who raised him and just 3 sisters on her own. she couldn't afford their tuition fees as a result, at the age of 11, david had to leave school. when i was 11, like i wanted to become like an engineer. electrical engineer because i was really good in months. so then i dropped out of school. that's been the dream southern southern slowly by slowing it. i've been told that my life was going to end on the time because everybody was telling me like, and i'm going to get in the mysteries and stuff like that because it's expensive and deposited on my friends. like, you know, most of them is in the crime, doesn't mistaken identity of the drug abuse. so me being alive right now and being able to do the work that they do is just like maybe 2 days. david, a veto supports a lot of local children who face a similar difficult situation. he sold school uniforms for over $700.00 girls and boys and pete the school fees for $20.00 of them. the youngsters like 13 year old, esther will be able to follow their dreams. in her case, becoming
