Ulithi Atoll, federation States of Micronesia- Barati Palshigar


Today I met with Mr. Barati Palshigar. Barati was a very nice man, a translator during his time at a refugee camp. He worked with many people , now see here he did not just translate the language of people he translated everything he was told to, it was his job, if he liked it or not. He worked with another man named Mister Verma. Anyway they both were in South Africa at the time of the war, and many things happened there, not all of them nice, but no matter what happened Barati and Mister Verma did their best, I am not totally sure of that, he told me that he did his best, but did he, many peopel died, many others were raped, I don't think he did. As I was saying he worked with and for the government of Africa. He and Mister Verma worked nonstop try to help as many people as possible, they couldn't save everyone. During this time many people believed that if they were to become infected they'd diea nd go to heaven, and many did that. Other believed that if you were not a virgin you could not become infected, whoever though of that was an idiot, and many people were raped, not a good time to be a young kid. There were also many things that took importance at the time, like this Radio Ubunye, it was a way that the South African government could contact isolated refugee camps. Anyway, that was about all the information I could get out of Mr. Barati there, but it wasn't my worst interview, but it sure wasn't my best. Well better luck next time right, right. Until next time.
