Demographic changes in Puerto Rico have caused a lack of access to essential services for people 65 years of age or older, which is exacerbated by the constantly growing poverty all through the island.
In this interview, there are many topics that are discussed, from the general effects of Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico to its effects on the education system and its students. Professor Cesamil Irizarry Vélez gives us insight as to how it was to work after Hurricane Maria. He also gives us insight as to what changes he has seen in the school over the course of the years, and how the economic downfall Puerto Rico has been suffering for many years has affected his peers, students, and their families.
