Christmas in Haiti
Kek fwa nou panse yon kado oblije yon gro bagay... Se pa vre ditou... Yon kado se yon kado. Yon kado se yon GWO kado le-w bay yon moun ki pat espere li, epi ki nan nesesite li.

Just lonje-l bali, epi di li "Jwane Noel..."

Nelson Mandela
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (18 July 1918 - 5 December 2013) was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.
He was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election.
His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalized racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation.
