missions have become desperate to sweet stuff to italy refused to let the vessel dock but the group has refused an offer to dock inspect. and you're watching news from berlin up next world stories the best of the week's reports have more news of course at the top of the hour for you i'm carlos but things want. to. my 1st boss like most sewing machine. i come from women are bones by this ocean for. something as simple as learning home to ride a bicycle isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to have advised that the loft my home and he took me mr been there. finally gave up and mentioned buying young by psychos but returns because sewing machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for goes than writing advice

as knowledge i want to meet those woman back home who are bones by their duties and social norms and informed of old dead basic rights my name is the about of people homes and a war that's easy to. i'm afraid of getting stuck here like most of those who have finished school yet they stay here. i know lots of people who didn't follow their dreams. plan this nonsense across studies nothing one of the most densely populated islands in the world it lies in the caribbean off the coast of colombia and is barely larger than a football pitch. despite the overcrowding and poverty a few of its residents try their luck elsewhere but who well is determined to leave

and study at university. because this is my house i live here with my mother and father i'm one of 10 children and my sister and her husband also live here with us the house is painted yellow and red colors that convey lots of joy emotion and feelings of happiness. we live here even though it's not really big bang it's quite small but made with. 500 people live on santa cruz than his last day on one hector with no running water no trash collection no doctors or police. to start to think is leading us or islands residents are under 18. there is

a school that tens but it costs money to go there which many parents can't or don't want to pay that's because most of the island's young people and up working as fishermen or in one of the hotels on the neighboring island. say 6 from 17 pupils now you know or a didn't come here one fewer kids are coming. many people here are simply stuck in a rut. they can't imagine a future anywhere else. at least we can now earn a high school diploma at our school. but the only trouble is. no one from here can afford to study on the mainland. to pay his school fees gives the island's residents manicures and pedicures.

he always has his cell phone handy so his clients can choose a design for their nails from the internet. knowing about it. like that. then it's well as job to get as close as possible to their chosen look. these things little say that it's really bad for me to do pedicures manicures and hair. but at the time when i asked them why they say. that's good for a woman but not for a man. but i'm doing this because i need the money not because i want to be a woman. it's not it it's not like i try to show you i mean what did you expect. what you really want. to discount. again. are you scared to. do it again i'm not scared if you are scared

that. you're scared it's not. for me a little music. like a melody and that i'm. sure his. hopes to become a pediatric nurse he's often seen children on the island get ill and there's no one to help them. but to get is not some qualifications in colombia he'd have to go to university and that means moving to the mainland he's already written to the closest university to request an interview. and. if i had to choose between our island anywhere else on earth i'd stay here. the best thing would be if there were a university here if there were i be really happy. well then i wouldn't have to do

with thing i think that. will make you. feel like a 1000000 bucks a few weeks later who has a haircut appointment. does not pay has granted his request for an interview he also has an appointment to learn how he can apply for a scholarship. i think for me i'm happy i've taken the 1st step. and i know that with god's help i can do it. but i'm a bit scared too after all it's the 1st interview i've had in my life but the most important thing is that i'm happy and i know i can do it without. most students in colombia come from wealthy families who wouldn't only be the 1st to get into university he also be one of the few poor students there was.

the night before who had plans to set off for the mainland the island to struck by a powerful storm. the full. house was one of the largest my bedroom is completely gone in parts of the other rooms or 2 it was awful. but undeterred he travels to bed and to the north it's the 1st time he's ever visited the colombian mainland. he's taken his best friend diana along for support there sharing a small room at a guest heads. yesterday during the storm i thought i'll miss my appointment i can't go. but now that it's worked out i really feel blessed i want to keep going i . think. first i have to say what i can wear to the appointment tomorrow.

this here or something else instead we have. to go we. we've been mercy is on my side. although yesterday was very difficult i have to leave that behind me. the material things you can get back but not your life and i have to keep looking forward. how do you it's a city of 1200000 people that's huge compared to whoever's island which has just 500 residents he's not used to the traffic. no way i'm not going to cross over here. i don't limit you know jacki i want our island there was once a woman had wanted to cross the street at a zebra crossing during a visit to the mainland. she got run over by a car there wasn't much left of her you know i'm too afraid i won't go over there

on my own for all. there's just 2 hours left to his appointment at the university. to make sure he arrived safely takes a taxi even though it's quite expensive. how do you like about that is it's wonderful. to see. this school isn't it the people on the streets. that would be. put on i mean when i only upgrade the scholarship won't work out but i'll bet i can't get a single bad grade in school but you can always have a bad day bank and then they will know it's about mean because it's the way. the university is campus alone is bigger than the island comes from it's among the best universities in colombia. but last year fewer than $170.00 of its roughly $10000.00

students were awarded scholarships. first appointment is with the head of the nursing faculty. you want to tell me why you want to study here. i have to tell you about where i come from. on high island there is no regular health care there is no doctor. no i mean now i understand his interest is rooted in the fact that there is a lack of healthcare on his on and he wants to help and that's something really valuable i'm certain that if he makes it he'll be of help. but for now she can't do much more than give her a flyer a decision can only be made after who has submitted all of the relevant documents.

and what they're going to support many thanks for everything they've also brought you something from the i left late but they're. only lovely is that typical of the island yes we sell lots of them. then he's off to a 2nd appointment with an employee in the finance department to learn how to apply for a scholarship. we. wouldn't be able to afford his accommodation on the island let alone the 2 mission there but it's saying you know to do their own doing you can apply for the scholarship no matter what region you come from. we mainly focus on your exam results your previous record cards and your extracurricular activities. goes on and then we decide. that.

the fact that grades are so important could prove a problem for. the questions on the school leaving exams are the same nationwide and while fierce the exam preparation at his school on the island isn't very good. i would really like to stay here. but i'd like to take part in the dancing or go to the gym. here cept it would just blow my mind. but i think huge shock nice one might be overcome with joy so i have it but i'll use it. if well stays on the island his future plans would be limited he would expand his nail design business and maybe open a waxing studio he'd much rather go to university and hopes he won't be the only one from his island to do so. i mean nobody i came in i hope that i follow the

people's will also make it i mean it would be sad if just one of us dead or a lot of people on the island who want to achieve more and want to look ahead i mean to get in tell you that a lot there are many who also make poor decisions due to money problems but if it was an i was it good for my mother this is see on me. a few months later receives a letter informing him that he won't be studying at the university in baton kiya. the reason his grades weren't good enough. it's a real setback but who else not giving up hope will apply to other universities now . you. want me. after.

the city submissions come us region is one of the earth's great treasures that's why we now return to. new national park in peru is now seriously threatened by human greed the judge covers a wide area and it's been going on from here on the well to bio diversity sacrificed money on top of profits next on d w. alexandr for homeboy. our series on tomorrow today. we want to see more she saw her experience what drove. a journey through latin america following the footsteps of the great scientist. the next stage of our journey takes us deep into the cameras on rachel to me fish most people to normal today in 60 minutes.
