00:00:45,620 --> 00:00:47,320
What is the first question?
2
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,720
What is your name?
3
00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:51,720
My real name is David Saul Pineda Bomarino.
4
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:06,900
What is your name?
5
00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:10,880
And what do people call you?
6
00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:13,160
People here call me Chepe.
7
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,380
What do you work on?
8
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:21,240
I repair tablets, computers, PCs.
9
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:30,080
Sometimes also simple things, like speakers, USBs, DVDs, the most simple stuff.
10
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:33,520
What do you prefer repairing?
11
00:01:34,140 --> 00:01:38,540
Computers. And tablets.
12
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:49,340
Things related to sources and all are easy. Other things need more time, two or three hours.
13
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,800
I receive 2 or 3, 5 or up to 8 clients on a daily basis.
14
00:02:03,580 --> 00:02:08,120
And it's all on the spot, people wait their turn.
15
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,880
How did you begin this work?
16
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,040
How did I end up in this job? I arrived here at the age of 16.
17
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:27,480
I began with a tip that my mother, well, my uncle gave me.
18
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:38,140
And at the age of 16 I became independent, and I liked it, taking care of myself, learning.
19
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:48,120
At first I was an itinerant vendor, but little by little, I improved, even without receiving good counsel or anything.
20
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,740
Now that I'm 37 years old, I'm only now am I taking off.
21
00:02:54,940 --> 00:03:00,500
What do you think about the Serenazgo evicting people and all?
22
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,680
I already went through that phase, of being outside.
23
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,340
Now we are in another phase.
24
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:20,840
I was outside in 1995, at the age of 17, that's when I began, living off of tips.
25
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:33,120
Do you think that now that they're evicting people, they are denying people's opportunity, like the opportunity you had?
26
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Most people think that, but no... One receives in relation to how much you work.
27
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,620
Sometimes you'll have a bad day when nothing happens.
28
00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:54,560
But this is different, when you have a fixed stand you have a different responsibility, you have to pay one thing and the other. It's not the same.
29
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,120
What benefits does having a stand provide?
30
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:08,900
What benefits? On a daily basis I take home about 300 soles on a good day.
31
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:22,420
Before you started working at the age of 16, how did you get into electronics?
32
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:28,420
No, I was an assistant, no more. I assisted in repairing DVDs, nothing else.
33
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:43,400
At the age of 28 I stopped working on watches. I used to be a watch repairman.
34
00:04:47,260 --> 00:04:51,100
What is the difference between recycle, dismantle and repair?
35
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,340
Mainly, when a device is brought in which doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't have any parts, it is dismantled.
36
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:00,500
And the others?
37
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:09,900
The others, it depends. If you have a replacement piece available which can be used, you fix it. Others can't be fixed, nothing can be done.
38
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:21,400
Why did you decide to work in repairing as opposed to recycling devices?
39
00:05:24,620 --> 00:05:29,800
Using to the maximum everything the device has to give.
40
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:37,600
If it's worth fixing it, and you have a parts handy, you fix it.
41
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:52,280
Do you fix things for your family or friends?
42
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:54,960
No, I only work here.
43
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200
How do you update your knowledge?
44
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400
What do you mean?
45
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,840
How do you learn more?
46
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:14,700
Well, I discover it myself when I test it on another device.
47
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:27,060
It depends on the circuit; if the circuit is missing something, I can recycle a part from another device.
48
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,380
Practice is the teacher.
49
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,540
It's more direct.
50
00:06:37,660 --> 00:06:41,520
Anything else you'd like to add?
51
00:06:47,980 --> 00:07:00,520
Well, I just started to take off; I only started about 7 months ago, but things are going well.
52
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,780
Thank you.
