For those of us with that special love for our beloved Haiti, we sometimes felt like we don't belong anywhere else but there.
I know that I do most of the time. It's not a secret, Haiti is the land that just kept growing under your skin, no matter how bad, unsafe, dirty or even poor people can see my Haiti.
This the land where I belong.
I have traveled around 38 states, the entire Central America, almost all the Caribbean with the exceptions of three, visited Europe and never could I find in these locations the kind of joy, peace, laughter comfort that Haiti cheri-m nan ban mwen.
So ou douvan gason-m, mwen deye ou pye pou pye.
NB Se pa pou san rezon yo te fe chante Ayiti cheri, pi bel peyi pase ou nan pren, fok mwen te kite-w pou mwen te kapab konprann vale-w.
And now I can say that I know what my Haiti is worth.
I do hope and pray that us in the Diaspora would see fit to go back home so we can change stuff.
Way to go bro! But don't stagnate to just personal business and participate actively in the struggle to uplift the nation. read more >
