Isaias lives in Batey Lecheria in the Dominican Republic. Batey is the Haitian word for village. The older generations in Batey Lecheria are Haitian. Life for Haitians in the Dominican is difficult. Isaias lives with his parents and three siblings, Dareil, Emanuel, and Rosali. His father has a security job in the city to try to sustain the family. His mother works in a cherry plantation during the harvesting season. Isaias speaks Spanish and attends public school. During his free time, he likes playing soccer. Isaias' favorite color is red. He would like to become a teacher in the future.
