it's about time that we, haitian realise that we have to take care of our country...

my grand father could have been 140 years old by now, used to have a big register where he wrote all the date of birth and dcd where he was living in lavallee Jacmel, so when some one needs to get his birth certificat came to see him for the exact date...that was his way helping people...

it's about time we haitian, must educate our children and let them know that they are haitian they must care about Haiti...
