“We are always looking for ways to have a better life. Our children today are really adapted to the modern life they are living in.

For example we heard of an oil spill, I hope we will know what they’re planning to do with this situation. Because we will not just believe them like this. I hope there will be a better system to communicate with us than what we have in place now."
