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

There is no shame in what one does for a living.
(Genesis 3-19) applies to all for of labour be it sitting behind a desk, white colour job, blue colour jobs or otherwise, man has to work for a living.
However, there must be a just reward for what a man does.
