Clothes iron

Clothes iron

A clothing iron, also called a flatiron or simply an iron, is a small appliance: a handheld piece of equipment with a flat, roughly triangular surface that, when heated, is used to press clothes to remove creases.

This photo is of an electric steam iron. For years in Haiti my mother used a charcoal iron.

Christmas in Haiti

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.

Bay yon ti moun ou pa konnen yon kado ane saa... menm si se yon adoken!

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

Nelson Mandela

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.
