Multiple children from Haiti shared their dream jobs ahead of the International Children's Day which fell on Saturday this year, as some believe that new generation Haitian can change Haiti into a better place.

"When I grow up, I want to be a doctor," a young girl named Mora said.

"In the future, I want to be a dermatologist, because many people need care. Many people are sick and can't heal themselves. That's why I want to help them," said 11-year-old Christina Moreuse.

"My dream is to become an engineer," said 5th grader Laissa Toussaintville.

"When I grow up, I want to be a lawyer. I love what they do," said 14-year-old Polon Mithsaina.

In addition, Mithsaina told China Global Television Network (CGTN) reporter she is confident that young people in Haiti can make the country better.

"I believe in my country. Young people like me are the future, we can change Haiti," she said.

"It's going to be hard because of the turmoil here. We can't go to school like we used to," said 13-year-old Movil Keshnaida.

"The way things are going in Haiti makes it difficult for us to go all the way and achieve our dreams," another young girl Mardi Widmalie said.

"It's not going to be easy, but I believe in myself," said Toussaintville

"It's challenging, but I believe Haiti will be better," Mithsaina added.
