VOA常速英语:美国大学生建立小组帮助海地

Haiti has plenty of challenges, which makes the island nation seem like a long reach for student public service project.But 22 years old Brandon Gosselin wants to rebrand Haiti.
海地面临着许多挑战，这使得这个岛国成为学生公共服务项目的长期目标。但22岁的布兰登戈塞林希望重塑海地。

“When we think of Haiti is destruction, we think of hoplessness. .We think of a lot of negative connotations.However, in the past year of research that we’ve done, I found it to be quite the opposite. Haiti is very much hopeful.”
当我们想到海地遭受的破坏，我们就会想到无望，我们会想到很多负面的含义。然而，在过去一年中我们经过研究发现，恰恰相反，海底充满了希望。

With the help of a former dean of the business school at Freed-Hardeman University, Gosselin was able to start his own initiative called the GMV project.The initials G M V have no specific meaning but the project has defined goals, you first fund it out of pocket.
在弗里德哈德曼大学商学院前院长的帮助下，戈塞林能够启动他首创的名为GMV的项目。缩写为GMV没有明确含义，但项目有自己明确的目标，你先得从口袋掏出钱来。

“We went to the country of Haiti in 2016 of July, went there to see how we can make an economic impact in a small village.I would be serving there and we came back a week later with a plan to help transform that little areas economy.”
我们在2016年7月去了海地，去那里看看我们怎么才能在一个小村子里产生经济影响。我将在那里服务，一周后我们带着能改变这个小区域经济的计划回来了。

Now Haitian businessmen in the US have also taken an interest in and are helping with fund raising.“The idea is having twenty to forty thousands Haitians bringing up to 2 billion-four billions and then have that match by non Haitians.”Gosling says the money will not be used at hand out as Haitians do not want that.
如今美国的海地商人对此很感兴趣，并且正在帮助该项目筹措资金。这个想法是让2到4万海地人筹措20到40亿美元，然后由非海地人进行匹配。戈塞林说，正如海地人不希望见到的那样，这笔钱将不会被用来施舍。

“If you can teach us those basic skills to where we are providing for ourselves, that’s what we’re looking for. We are looking for opportunity. We are tired of you guys giving us food or target as giving us money.”“We are gonna use those funds to create wealth.”That will come from programs, like agriculture education for ages 12 to 30 teaching them everything from planting to cultivating.
如果你能教我们一些基本技能到我们自己提供的地方，那才是我们想要的，我们在寻找机会，我们厌倦了你们给我们食物或者目标似的给钱。我们将用这笔钱来创造财富。如针对12到30岁的人开展的农业教育，教他们从种植到培养的各项事宜，都来自那些项目。

“To investing to agriculture for instance, to produce crops that can be sold not only in Haiti but outside Haiti.In such a way that we have, you know, the constant stream of revenues.”
投资农业生产，例如生产的农作物不仅可以在海地出售，而且可以在海地以外的地方出售，这样我们就有源源不断的收入。

Justima and Gosselin believe that combined efforts of Haitians and foreigners is the key to changing Haiti’s fortunes.
贾斯迪玛和戈塞林认为，海地人和外国人的共同努力是改变海地命运的关键。
