"During the haze in 1997, even the adults had difficulty walking, they were too sick and didn't have the strength, if my children were born then, they wouldn't have survived"
-Volunteer Fire-fighter, Guna Wan

"Saripah, 22, said, 'Mom how is it? It's hard to breathe.' So I immediately took her to the hospital. The doctor said she died because of lung failure, her lungs were dark and she doesn't smoke. It was definitely because of the haze." 
-Mother of haze victim, Siti

"I don't let my wife and children go outside too much, I only let myself go outside because I have to work and earn a living. I've already lost 2 of my children because of bad health, it's very traumatic and I don't want to lose anymore of my children."
-Father, Emos

"Every act is meaningful, and we see ourselves as a small piece of the puzzle. I want to see hundreds and even thousands of people, young and old in Kalimantan, working together towards a common purpose to help and protect each other. The greatest achievement we can have is to rise above being self-centered so that we can create better world for everyone."
