WOW... An article about Haiti made me think about myself and my country all over again!

The article is called: "How Can I Speak of Haiti?"

I am going to share a couple of paragraphs with you but I do encourage you to read the whole thing.

There's nothing to say about Haiti... Even to begin, to start, to try, is to fall into cliches. The cliches of the poverty. The cliches of the beauty...

There is a temptation to see Haiti as the greatest problem that one could ever possibly hope to solve. You can spot the people who think this way right as they get off the plane. They have lots of gear and a far away look in the eye. You see them later on the road, sitting in the back of large trucks with tons of supplies. They are off to build something for someone, whether that someone really wants it or not.

Do read the entire article: How Can I Speak of Haiti?

What do you think about it?
