Fui a una capacitación para el censo, para saber cuántos chilenos y migrantes hay. Fue un momento muy especial, como migrante es bueno saber que nos valoren como seres humanos. Nos sentimos muy felices que nos incorporen a la sociedad chilena. Creo que este sentimiento de pertenencia nos hace mejores personas para ambos países, aunque el racismo queda en algunos chilenos.

I went to a training for census volunteers, to contribute to the effort to document how many Chileans and migrants there are in the country. It was a special moment, because as a migrant, it’s nice to know that they value us as human beings. We feel happy that they incorporate us into Chilean society. I think that this unity and inclusion makes us better people, and it’s good for both countries. However, some Chileans are still racist.
