Manual Labor - The Hardest Working Men in Haiti

Manual Labor in Haiti - Carrying rice bags for a living

"By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground" (Genesis 3:19)

I don't think that's what God had in mind when he said this... Do you?

If this man had a better option, I am 100% sure he would take it...

By no means, he would still be sweating, we all do one way or another, BUT... He'd probably be a little bit more PROUD... Of himself... AND of his country...

If we want a better Haiti, we have to start from the ground up!

But in the meantime... There is a Haitian song that says...

"Pito'm mande pase'm vòlè..."
"Mezanmi mwen pa finn dakò..."
"Pito'm travay pase'm mande"

(I rather beg than steal.
on the other hand,
I rather work than beg)

I salute all the hard working men and women of Haiti
