Gris Luis
Gris, 9, 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 Haitian children legal Dominican status.
