Crying Mountain Crazy Hurricane

These two books are by Haitian American author, Lili Dauphin. Check her site, islandlili.com

"I Will Fly Again tells a poignant and chilling tale of a young girl enslaved by her relatives. Her will to survive and overcome her trials drives her to try and find the mother she has never known. The narrative is a vivid, moving portrayal of chid bondage in Haiti and the dehumanizing effect it has on the society.

Her book, Crying Mountain chronicles the experiences of a young girl named Tilou following the passage of a devastating hurricane, which she recounts in a diary she kept when she was eight years old. She lives in a village surrounded by extreme poverty, superstition and brutality. It’s a story of childhood lived courageously and creatively, and shows the capacity of the human spirit to persevere against overwhelming odds...."

Marie and Her Friend The Sea Turtle, María y su amiga la Tortuga del mar/Marie et son amie la Tortue de mer. This is a trilingual book written by Nicole Weaver, a teacher of Spanish and French.
Nicole Weaver reaches many cultures and pulls at children’s hearts in their love and wonderment of the world around them

Haitian-born author Edwidge Danticat has found a way to share the earthquake story with an audience that was largely shielded from it — children.

Danticat has written a children's book about a 7-year-old boy named Junior who gets buried in the rubble of his Haitian home during the quake and is rescued eight days later.

Follow the Adventures of Three Haitian Girls Who Want to Rescue a Servant Girl Named Tifani Restavek From a Mean Family

2012-10-03T23:41:00.000-07:00

Three adventurous and well-off Haitian girls, Lili, Lala, and Lila set out to rescue a servant girl named Tifani Restavèk from a mean neighbor family who mistreats her and makes her do all kinds of forced labor while their own children, especially KansonFè IronPants, tease her while watching her work her heart out in the stiffling Caribbean sun. These three girls go to private catholic schools in Port-au-Prince. Way before the quake that hit Haiti, the three girls devise a plan to start reading stories to Tifani while she stands by the fence. They want to teach her to read and write. In general, Restaveks (servant boys and girls whose parents can not take care of them and economically forced to let them go live with well-off city dwellers) do not expect to be treated well and go to school. Will these girls ever even get close to Tifani to tell her about their plans? A miracle would have to happen first. All of Tifani’s work is for nothing. Her only reward is more work and belittling. Tifani can not go to school or even take reading and writing lessons. Her supervisors, the Mesye and Madanm of the house would not let that happen. Then, on January 12, 2010, a 7.1 quake hit and destroyed Port-au-Prince and its nearby communities in less than 35 seconds. Lili, Lala and Lila’s mission changes. They set out to find and rescue Tifani from under the mountains of rubble. Will they ever find her alive? Is the quake the miracle that will make her supervisors, Mesye and Madanm KansonFè, set her free? Tifani may as well find her freedom right in the midst of the rubble that covers her frail body.

Note that Lila is on the cover of this story!

Nòt Kreyol: Translation of the Preposition “To” indicating motion to a place:
Kreyòl uses “Nan” before the noun indicating the place to express motion to a place. Also, keep in mind that nouns that refer to specified, unique places usually do not need the definite article. For example, I am going to church – M pral legliz; I am going to school – M pral lekòl.

Whose is it? Se pou ki moun?
(Belonging to, pertaining to, indicating possession)
Bato sa-a se pou Jan. Se bato Jan.
Se rad Tipapa. Rad sa-a se pou Tipapa
Notes / Nòt: An easy way to understand and express possession in Haitian Creole is to have the noun referring to what is owned followed by the name of the owner. If a pronoun follows a noun, it is used as a possessive adjective.
Examples: Se lajan/kòb Delòm. Se kòb li – (It’s Delòm’s money. It is his money)
Se chokola Manno ak Wobè. Se chokola yo – It is Manno and Robert’s chocolate. It is their chocolate.
Se vwazin Terèz – Se vwazin li – She is Teresa’s neighbor. She is her neighbor
Se liv Joslen. Se liv li – It is Jocelyn’s book. It is his.
Se mallet Jisten. Se malèt li – It is Justin’s suitcase. It is his suitcase.
Konbyen? – How much / How many?
Konbyen rad ou wè nan chanm nan? - How many pieces of cloth do you see in the room ?
M wè yon chemiz (shirt), yon pè pantalon (pants), yon mayo (t-shirt), yon pè soulye (a pair of shoes), de pè sapat (a pair of thongs), yon kravat (tie), de jip (skirt) yon pè chosèt (socks), yon pè tenis (a pair of tennis shoes) epi yon ba (stockings)
Other forms of possession: Asking questions
Pou ki moun kay sa yo ye? Poukiyès kay sa yo ye? Whose are those houses?
Pou ki moun plim sa-a ye? Poukiyès plim sa-a ye? Whose is this pen?
Pou ki moun kreyon sa-a ye? Poukiyès kreyon sa-a ye? Whose is this pencil?

Sa yo se kay leta (kay gouvènman) – These are government houses /buidings
Pouki moun plaj sa yo ye? Poukiyès plaj sa yo ye? Se plaj prive
Whose are these beaches? They are private beaches

Translation :

Poukisa Tijan P-al Lekòl –
Why Tijan Does Not Go To School
The Godfather’s Mercy – Parenn Pran Pitye

Once upon a time a little boy named Tijan decided to learn how to read and write. Tijan was born in a little village located next to Léogâne, Haiti, on top of a huge mountain called Katwen. He is Mrs. Altidor’s second child. He has an older sister who is living with her father’s relatives. Tijan’s older sister’s name is Marijo. Tijan does not have the same father as Marijo. In fact, he does not know his father. Marijo’s father has sent her to school. Tijan does not have a parent who can send him to school.

Every year, he gets very sad when he sees his older sister’s new uniform, shoes, socks, books and other supplies. Tijan would like to learn how to read and write too but his father did not recognize him.

Mrs. Altidor can not help Tijan find his father. She does not know the identity of her son’s father. Mrs. Altidor does not remember anything at all because she is always drunk. She enjoys drinking Tafia (a strong alcoholic beverage in Haiti), alcohol, and smoking cigarettes. When she earns any money, she wastes it in beverages, junk food, and fried goodies. That is why Marijo’s father had taken her away from her.

Tijan is ten years old now. His friends have started to tease him and to call him names such as “idiot, dumb beast, animal.” They thought he was imbecile. However, he knows he is not dumb. He has a plan. “If only the plan can work, I will be able to show everybody that I am an intelligent guy.”

That is how Tijan decided to walk to the residence of his godfather who was living in the city of Léogâne. His godfather had a lot of contacts in town. He has sent all of his children to school. Mr. Bonifas took pity of Tijan who broke out crying and complaining.

“It looks like you are moving away, Tijan!” remarked Mr. Bonifas as he spotted him. “Where is your mother? Why did she not come with you?”
“Godfather, I want to live with you. I can not take it any longer up in the mountain,” Tijan replied. “Manman-m, my mother does not want to do anything for me. All the money she earns goes to her alcohol. I am ten years old. I do not know how to read and write.”
Surprised, Mr. Bonifas asked, “Your mother has not sent you to school?”
“No. She is drunk all the time. She does not have a dry day. She has no time to think about such things.”
“Your mother has never told you about your father.”
“No. Do you know my father? You know I am fatherless. Marijo has a father. She is living at her grandparents’ home.”
Mr. Bonifas looked at his eyes. He did not utter a word. Neither did he try to answer his question or reveal his father’s identity.
“What were you doing during all these years?”
“Every year I thought my mother was going to send me to school. But she never had time to do that.”
Mr. Bonifas became meditative. He was taken aback by his godson’s declarations. He thought Tijan had the same providing father as his older sister, Marijo.
“Alcohol is a bad thing. It is a vice. The woman neglected her responsibility because of tafia. That is what is destroying the country.”

Mr. Bonifas opened the back door of the store. He took the little box of clothes and sandals that Tijan had carried. That was all his possession. He placed it in a room behind the counter. He said, “Welcome home! Welcome to my home! I am going to do all I can do for you. I am going to raise you just like my ten sons and daughters.”
“Am I going to become your 11th child?”
“Yes. You are my godson, Tijan. The only thing I ask is to work hard at the store and at school.”

Mr. Bonifas telephoned his wife to announce the news of Tijan’s arrival.
“Darling, I have news for you. Do you remember my godson who lives on top of the mountain of Léogâne?”
“Hello darling. Yes, I do. The mountain people who know have told me that she has no more strength to walk down to trade around here. She drinks too much tafia.”
“Aha! You know her very well.”
“She is a drunkard. She has other vices too. She smokes. No men want to stay with her too long. Did they ever find out who the father of her son is?”
“Cheri, darling. I can not answer this question.”
“Why not, honey?”

2011-06-14T19:13:00.000-07:00

"Learn Haitian Creole Today - Aprendan el Creole Haitiano Hoy Dia - Aprann Kreyol Jodi-a..." helps you learn Haitian Creole by focusing on key language acquisition skills building blocs. It will expand your knowledge of the Haitian language and culture. Here are a few things this book will help you learn: Explanations of Rara, a typically Haitian creation and phenomenon, names of tropical and Haitian Fruits, variety of vegetables and meals names, different types of meat cuts, seafood, popular greetings, common expressions and phrases, verb markers etc. This book also introduces you to the Hiatian Creole grammar. An expanded version of the Haitian Creole grammar rules can be found in "Quick Haitian Creole Grammar Reference Textbook." For example, the use of articles shows some of the unique features of the Haitian Creole language. There is an indefinite article, which is used in front of the noun it modifies, and a definite article, which comes after the noun it modifies and changes form based on the sounds of that noun. Examples: Kay la - the house; ban an - the bench; bannann nan - the plantain, tifi-a - the girl or young woman etc. Haitian Creole pronouns have both long and short forms. Examples: M for Mwen etc.. In addition to functioning as the subject of a sentence, pronouns can be placed after nouns to indicate possession. Examples, kay mwen - my house; liv li - his/her book etc.

Madan Cherilis vire gade pititfi-l la. Li vle mande-l èd, si-l sonje adrès kay la. – Sra. Cherilis dió vuelta para mirar a su hija. Querría pedirle por ayuda, que si se acuerda de la dirección del domicilio.” – “Mrs. Cherilis turned to look at her daughter.

“¿Porqué me pide por todas estas cosas? Porqué me hace preguntas sobre mi vida privada?” – “Why are you asking for all these things? Why are you questioning my private life?”

Lè sekretè- a wè madan Cherilis tonbe ankolè, li eseye desann vwa-l pou-l ka kalme-l. Li sispann poze kesyon pou yon tikadè – Cuando la oficinista observó que Sra. Cherilis se puso enojada, trató de bajar su voz para poder calmarla por un rato – When the clerk saw that Mrs. Cherilis got mad, she tried to lower her voice in order to be able to calm her down for a while.

Estuvo lista para verter sus palabras feas a la empleada de oficina. Miró por todas partes, en la derecha e en la izquierda – Mrs. Cherilis is a woman with bad social manners. She stood ready to start pouring down the inventory of her dirty words to the clerk.

Pititfi Madan Cherilis la konnen manman-l pa betize ak moun. Li konnen ki sa-l ka fè nan klinik la. Li mande manman-l pou-l rete trankil. Li wè sekretè-a pa-t di-l anyen ki pou ta fè-l fache konsa – La hija de la Sra. Cherilis sabe que su madre no juega con la gente. Ella sabe lo que puede hacer en la Clínica de salud. Le pidió que se quedara muy tranquila. La hija observó que la empleada de oficina le dijo nada para hacerle tan enojada.

Cock-a-doodle-doo, Cockadoodledoo! Koukouyoukou, Kikiriki! Vwala Se Te Yon Fwa (Once Upon a Time) - Haitian Tales

2011-05-01T11:21:00.000-07:00

When a rooster crows, how do you interpret the sound you hear?

In Haitian Creole, we interpret it as: Koukouyoukou or Kikiriki
In English, we interpret the sound to be: cock-a-doodle-doo
In French, we believe it to be: cocorico
In Dutch, it is believed to be: kukeleku
In German we associate with: kikeriki
In Spanish, it is believed to be Quiquiriki

Creole Children's Books Publishing Will Benefit all Children and Particularly Haitian Children Spread all over the World

2011-02-14T00:29:00.000-08:00

Haitian parents, especially adoptive parents of Haitian children, and grade school teachers from Miami, Florida to New York, and Boston, Massachussets are very happy to be able to find newly released materials in Haitian Creole. CreoleChidlrensBooks.blogspot.com wants to be the premier publisher and distributor of Haitian Creole materials on the Internet, in social Media publication, and on currently existing devices and those yet to be developed. So far, teachers, parents, and education ministers interested in teaching Creole to Haitian children can find relevant materials on this site and others.

Due to the migratory history of Haitians, Haitian children can be multicultural and multilingual. They can be found in the Caribbean, mostly in the United States, Canada, South America, Central America, Europe and Africa. And they speak languages such as Spanish, English, French, Haitian Creole, Dutch, Portuguese, and many others. It is our goal and mission to continue to provide great materials in many of the above languages, materials that uniquely prepared for this audience and by Haitian American authors/writers. Obviously, we welcome materials by any other writers/authors who meet our standards of quality and cultural relevance.

Creole Children's Books Publisher (CreoleChildrensBooksPublisher) wants to make sure that Creolophonie is seen in a more inclusive way. It wants to work with the Haitian Education ministry and Haitian schools to promote the teaching of the primary Haitian language not only in Haiti but also in many foreign countries where Haitian children, bicultural/bilingual children of Haitian parents are living. Enlisting topnotch companies' efforts and resources such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Apple, and many others, and Using ultramodern devices such as podcast, kindle, iphone, ipod touches, Android platform, we can uproot illiteracy in Haiti and promote the language of more than 10 million people.

Teaching Haitian Creole through the use of the Social Media tools can go a long way. That is our mission and the area of our expertise. We welcome any feedback and financial assistance in order to remain focused, execute our action plans and meet our goals. We will count success even if one child uses our materials and realizes that speaking Haitian Creole, a very phonetic language recognized by the IPA or L'Association Phonetique Internationale, can prepare him or her to succeed on the world stage. That is one of the secrets kept away from many Haitian parents who have been misled to believe that knowing Creole will not contribute to the advancement of their children's economic future. Yet, many studies have shown that thanks to its phonetic construction, Kreyol can prepare any kid to learn any foreign languages.

How Do You Say This in Creole? Ki Jan Nou Di Sa an Kreyol? Haitian Celebrations, Saint Valentine's Day, Easter, Happy New Year

2011-02-07T07:57:00.000-08:00

How do you say this in Creole? Ki jan ou di sa an Kreyòl ?

Happy New Year ! – Bòn Ane !

Happy birthday to you! Bòn fèt!

I wish you a happy birthday – M swete ou bòn fèt

Haitian Creole Notes: Nòt Kreyòl: On New Year’s Day, it is appropriate to wish Haitian friends prosperity and longevity. It is something you can get accustomed to. Here is what you will say:

Prosperity and longevity to you and your family! Pwosperite ak lonjevite pou tout fanmi ou!

Premye Janvye se yon jou espesyal pou tout Ayisyen. Se jou sa-a yo manje soup joumou. Se jou endepandans Ayisyen. Poukisa se soup joumou?

Anvan Ayiti pran endepandans li, esklav Sen Domeng yo pa-t gen dwa manje oswa bwè soup joumou. Kolon Fransè yo te konsidere soup joumou yon manje espesyal. Aprè Ayiti pran endepandans li an 1804, Desalin deklare tout Ayisyen gen dwa manje soup joumou.

January 1st is a specialy day for all Haitians. On this day, they consume squash soup. It is Haitians’ independence day. Why squash soup?

Before Haiti became independent, the slaves of St. Domingue were not allowed to consume squash soup which was considered a delicacy by the French colonists. After Haiti became independent in 1804, Dessalines declared that all Haitians can have squash soup.

Happy Easter – Bòn Fèt Pak!

Happy Valentine’s Day! – Bòn Fèt Sen Valanten!

Happy anniversary! Bon Anivèsè!

Labor Day – Fèt Travayè / Fèt Travay

Memorial Day – Jou zansèt yo

Mother’s Day – Fèt Manman

Father’s Day – Fèt Papa

Good Friday – Vandredi Sen

Easter Sunday – Dimanch Pak

Thanksgiving – Jou Aksyondegras

Christmas – Nowèl

To be – Se and Ye

Se – to be

We use “se” to link a subject with a noun. For example: Jan se zanmi-m – John is my friend; Se chen Manno-a – It is Manno’s dog; Se kabrit Bòs Jak – It is master craftsman Jack’s goat.

Pyebwa sa-a se yon pye zaboka – This is an avocado tree

Fifi se yon bon doktè – Fifi is a good doctor

Li s-on bon moun – He/she is a good person (Note that se yon becomes s-on here in this sentence). You can also omit “li” at the beginning of the sentence. Just say: Se yon (S-on) bon moun. This is to save time. Liaisons or contractions exist to save time and build language speed in Kreyol.

Ye – to be

We usually use “ye” at the end of a sentence. It is exclusively used in that position.

Take a look at these two sentences:

Mwen se Kanadyen – I am Canadian

Se Kanadyen mwen ye – I am Canadian. (In the second sentence, the speaker wants to emphasize his /her nationality as if a special message needs to be conveyed and understood by the listener).

Both sentences are correct. Remember that “ye” is always used at the end of the sentence. Make sure you do not confuse “ye” to be with “Yè” which stands for yesterday.

Examples – Egzanp: Ki sa sa-a ye? What is this/that ?

Ki Jan ou ye ? How are you?

Kòman nou ye? How are you doing?

Notes: Nòt Kreyòl: When followed by an adjective, the verb to be is not even mentioned or translated. Example: Jan tris – John is sad; Mari malad – Mary is sick; Benito kontan – Benito is happy; Jansimon fache – Jansimon is mad; Jak pa kontan – Jack is not happy; Remon ankòlè – Raymond is in a bad mood

Exercices: Practice making sentences using “Se” and “Ye.”

Alavèy Nouvèl Ane Epi Fèt Endepandans Ayiti

On New Year’s Eve And Haiti’s Independence Celebration

Listen to this text's audio at http://haitiancreolemp3.libsyn.com

Tout moun ap prepare yo pou y-al banboche, pran gwo plezi. Nowèl fin pase. Tout timoun fin resevwa kado yo. Granmoun pa gen anpil tan pou yo repoze. Fòk yo fè pwovizyon pou Premye Janvye ak de Janvye, de gwo fèt Ayisyen. Genyen ou pa, tout Ayisyen mete pi bèl rad yo de jou sa yo. Timoun leve byen bonè pou yo swete granmoun ‘Bòn ane.’ Epi yo konnen yo pral bwè bon jan chokola ak pen espesyal. Vè midi, yo pral tonbe bwè soup joumou ki gen tout kalite vyann, malanga, pòm de tè, ak legum. Olala, se gwo koze!

Gen aktivite toupatou nan kanton an. Yo pwofite lalun pou yo mache ale nan veye kote yo danse, manje a minwi. Anpil legliz òganize sèvis espesyal alavèy Nowèl oswa alavèy nouvèl ane. Le 24 Desanm, manm legliz yo patisipe nan pwogram Nowèl ki montre kouman Jezu te fèt. Epi aprèsa, dirijan legliz yo sèvi moun yo manje ak bwason. Chak ane, anpil moun nan komunote a espere manje gratis nan okazyon sa yo. Pou reyalize fèt Nowèl, pafwa legliz yo resevwa don espesyal nan men pitit legliz yo ka-p viv nan peyi etranje oswa parenn legliz yo. Kon fèt Nowèl fin pase, Ayisyen kòmanse planifye fèt premye ak de Janvye.

Se pa sa sèlman. Ayisyen ki pa afilye ak yon legliz al nan peristil pou yo patisipe nan selebrasyon pa yo. Yo fè bon jan muzik. Yo bat gwo tanbou ak ti tanbou. Houngan yo sèvi lwa yo. Yo trase vèvè. Yo mete manje espesyal pou tout espri yo ap sèvi. Gen anpil moun ki gen lwa ki monte yo. Yo vire epi yo ponpe. Yo danse. Yo leve pye lou yo. Men yo sou anpil. Yo bwè anpil tafya, wonm, ak kleren. Lwa yo fè yo mache sou dife, kraze boutèy ak po men yo epi fè yo rale sou vant ak do yo. Se yon bagay ki dwòl ke yo pa blese. Genyen patisipan ki la sèlman pou file fanm. Nan sezon sa-a, fò ou aprann viv ak tout son tanbou, bri epi chante k-ap sòti toupatou, nan platon tankou nan mòn.

Ki sa Ayisyen renmen fè pou yo selebre fèt endepandans yo ?

Anpil Ayisyen chwazi fè lòt bagay tou. Si yo konn jwe muzik oswa yo apresye-l, y-al nan bal anba lavil, sou wout Dèlma oswa Petyonvil. Gen gwo bann ki òganize bon bal. Moun ki vle patisipe supoze peye pou yo antre. Gen Ayisyen k-ap jwe pyano, gita, twonpèt, flit, vyolon, amonika, tanbou, saksofòn, senbal epi tchatcha. Se nan bal yo nou ka wè tout bwason Ayisyen ka bwè. Wonm Babankou se gwo koze pou moun ki ka achte yo.

Gen Ayisyen k-al wè fim nan sinema. Si yo pa soti, yo rete lakay yo pou yo koute muzik sou radyo. Yo ka gade televizyon too. Leplusouvan, moun ki rete lavil kote ki gen elektrisite pwofite anpil. Pafwa, blakawout anpeche yo patisipe nan pwogram woutin yo. Moun andeyò yo al nan bal tou. Si yo pa moun k-al legliz, y-al parye sou kòk k-ap bat nan gagè. Tankou nan peyi Filipin ak peyi panyòl, kòk ki bat nan gagè jwenn yon tretman espesyal. Mèt kòk sa yo trete yo oswa pran swen yo tankou atlèt. Yo fè yo fè egzèsis. Yo pran vitamin ak dlo pwòp. Men yo file zepon ki pèmèt yo touye lòt kòk byen fasil. Granmoun rakonte istwa. Yo konn bay lodyans tou. Gen anpil zanmi ki reuni jus pou yo ka bay blag. Yo tire kont tou.

Kòmanse alavèy premye Janvye jouk de Janvye, tout Ayisyen pran bon jan plezi yo. Yo ka jwe kat, domino, damye oubyen kay. Timoun jwe oslè ak marèl. Pandan tout tan sa yo, yo manje epi yo bwè kremas, wonm, tafya, ju, epi dlo. Lè yo fatige, y-al dòmi. Yo reveye pou yo koumanse fè plan kanaval k-ap rive byen vit.

Alavèy Nouvèl Ane Epi Fèt Endepandans Ayiti

On New Year’s Eve And Haiti’s Independence Celebration

Everybody is getting ready to carouse, celebrate and have a great time. Christmas is over. All the children have already received their presents. Adults do not have much time to rest. They must go shopping for January 1 and January 2, two major Haitian holidays. Whether they are fortunate or not, all Haitians wear their best outfit on these two days. Children get up very early to wish their parents “Happy New Year.” And they know they are going to have good chocolate and special bread. By noon, they are going to start having pumpkin soup with all kinds of meat, taro root, potato, and vegetables. Wow! It is a big deal!

There are activities everywhere in the village. Residents take advantage of the moonlight to walk to end-of-the-year vigils where they can dance and eat midnight meals. Many churches organize special services on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. On December 24, church faithful participate in Christmas programs that show how Jesus was born. After that, the church leaders served foods and beverages to all congregants. Every year, residents of the community expect to eat without charge on these occasions. To realize these Christmas celebrations, churches often receive special gifts from the church children who are living overseas or the church sponsors. As soon as Christmas is over, Haitians start planning their January 1 and January 2 parties.

That is not the only thing they are thinking about. Haitians who are not affiliated with a church go to peristyle to take part in their own ceremonies. They produce all kinds of music. They play huge as well as small drums. The voodoo priests serve their spirits. They trace designs on the grounds. They place special food items on the ground for the spirits they are serving. Many participants end up being possessed by the spirits. They turn around and jump. They dance. They lift their feet rendered heavy wit alcohol. They are very drunk. They have consumed a lot of tequila, rum and other alcoholic beverages. The spirits make them walk on fire barefootedly, break bottles with their bare hands and make them crawl on their belly and back. It is a funny thing that they do not get burned or injured. There are participants who are in the ceremony only to go around with women. On this occasion, you have to learn with all kinds of drum beats, noise and songs that spring from everywhere, in flatlands as well as mountaintops.

What do Haitians like to do to celebrate their independence day?

Many Haitians choose to do other things too. If they can play or appreciate music, they go to dancehalls downtown, on Delmas Road or Petionville. Big bands organize huge dance parties. Those who want to participate pay entrance fees. Some Haitians play piano, guitar, trumpet, flute, harmonica, drums, saxophone, cymbals and chacha. We can see all the beverages Haitians can consume in these dance parties. Haitian-made Barbancourt Rhum is a big deal for those who can afford it.

There are Haitians who go to the movie theaters to see movies. If they do not go out, they stay home to listen to music on the radio. They may watch TV too. Most of the times, those who live in cities that have electricity take more advantage. At times, blackouts prevent them from participating in routine activities or programs. Mountain people go to dances too. If they are not churchgoers, they go bet on fighting cocks in the cockpit. Just like in the Philippines and the Dominican Republic, fighting roosters receive a special treatment. The owners of these cocks treat them or take care of them like athletes. They make them do exercises. They take vitamins and clean water. However, the owners file their spurs which allow them to kill their opponents easily in the cockpit. Adults tell stories. There are many friends who gather together just to tell jokes. They tell folktales and riddles.

From New Year’s Eve till January 2, all Haitians find all kinds of entertainment. They may play cards, domino, checkers or hole. Kids play bones and hopscotch too. During all this time, they eat and drink Cream, rum, tequila, juice and water. When they get tired, they go to bed. They only wake up to start making plans of Carnival that arrives soon.

Translation : To start playing Kay, you need a piece of board with twelve round holes. If you can not find a board, clean the area where you intend to play very well.

Alavèy Yon Siklòn Nan Pòtoprens, Ayiti – On The Eve of a Hurricane in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Gen anpil aktivite lakay tout moun. Moun ap tcheke epi repare twou nan twatu oswa kò kay yo. Y-ap klouwe planch. Tout moun ap mache toupatou. Tèt yo chaje anpil epi yo pè. Y-ap eseye fè pwovizyon pou kay yo. Y-ap achte tout bagay. Yo bezwen gas, alumèt, flach, lanp tèt gridap. Anpil nan yo sezi pou yo wè jan pri tout bagay vi-n monte tèt nèg. Ki sa pou manman ak papa fè nan yon situyasyon konsa? Se pou yo bay timoun yo manje.

Aprè tranblemandetè ki detwi anpil kay, pa gen anpil moun ki gen kay solid ki ka reziste fòs van siklòn pote. Juskaprezan, anpil Ayisyen ap viv nan tikay kole pyese yo kouvri ak twal. Yo cho lè li fè chalè. Yo mouye lè lapli ap tonbe. Yo pèdi tout posesyon yo lè gwo van ap vante. Kondisyon sanitè yo pa bon menm. Fatra toupatou. Y-ap viv tankou refujye nan lòt peyi. Epoutan yo lakay yo. Kan yo boure ak moun ki pa ka fè anyen pou tèt yo. Yo manke zouti ak materyo. Yo pa gen lajan pou achte materyo yo nonplus. Oganizasyon nasyonal e entènasyonal ap démele yo pou ede abitan kan sa yo. San dout, gouvènman Ayisyen apresye èd sa-a anpil!

Britsoukou, moun k-ap viv nan kan yo supoze jwenn bon kay ak bildin pou yo pase sekous siklòn nan. Ki kote nou panse yo pral jwenn abri pou yo pare lapli ak siklòn?

Otorite yo di moun ka al pare siklòn nan nan legliz ak lekòl. Anpil nan bildin sa yo pa touprè yo. Pare ounon, lapli ak gwo van siklòn Tomas pote p-ap ret tan okenn moun.

Aprè siklòn sa a, ap gen anpil lòt. Kesyon nou dwe poze tèt nou sèke ki lè bon jan kay k-a pare pou moun sa yo, ki lè y-ap suspann viv nan kodisyon deplorab sa yo. Anpil Ayisyen ap plenyen ke se bòs machòkèt ki te sou mannigèt ki te konstwi tikay gouvènman an te bay yo. Y-ap mande poukisa yo pa ka reziste fòs siklòn.

Ayiti gen anpil bòs ki pare pou travay. Yo prè pou yo bati kay. Men, moun pa gen lajan. Anpil peyi devlope tankou Lèzetazuni ki te fè pwomès lajan aprè tranblemandetè-a poko bay lajan yo te pwomèt yo.

Tout bòs sa yo vle travay: bòs ebenis vle fè mèb tankou kabann, chèz ak tab. Bòs fòjwon vle fè travay an fèfoje pou galri. Bòs chapantye pa ka tann pou yo al sou chantye-a pou fè chapant. Bòs fèblantye renmen travay an fèblan. Menm Bòs Kòdonye ta renmen jwenn bon jan travay ranje soulye. Avèk travay, moun ka fè plus kòb. Yo ka achte bèl rad ak kostum ke Bòs tayè yo fè. Bèl fanm Ayisyèn ka al negosye epi koze ak koutiryèz yo. Ayisyen plus enterese bati kay yo. Yo pa renmen dòmi nan seren tankou chwal ak lòt animal. Seren an ap fè timoun ak granmoun malad. Si yo deja malad, yo pa ka geri vit. Se poutèt sa Bòs mason yo bezwen koule beton, monte mi epi bati kay. Bòs menizye yo bezwen fè pòt, fenèt ak bon jan dekorasyon an bwa Ayisyen renmen mete nan kay yo. Fò moun k-ap bati kay fè atansyon pou yo pa tonbe anba bòs machòkèt ki renmen pran kòb oswa touche san yo pa fè yon bon travay.

Alavèy Yon Siklòn Nan Pòtoprens, Ayiti – On The Eve of a Hurricane in Port-au-Prince, Haiti

There are lots of activities in everybody’s house. People are checking and repairing holes on the roof or the structure of their homes. They are nailing boards. Everybody is walking everywhere. They are confused and afraid. They are shopping for their home. They are buying everything. They need gas, flashlight, matches and lamps. Many of them are very surprised by the rising costs of ordinary items. What are mother and father (parents) to do in such a situation? They must feed their kids.

After the quake destroyed homes, there are not too many homes left standing, which can withstand the wind-packed forces of a hurricane. Until now, there are many Haitians who are living in tent camps, in dwellings made of cardboard, sticks and covered with cloth. They are hot when it is hot. They are wet when it is raining. They lose all their possessions when it is very windy. The sanitary conditions are not good. You can find trash and bluish water everywhere. They are living like refugees in foreign countries. Yet, they are home (in their homeland). The camps are filled with people who can not do much to improve their situation. They lack tools and materials. They do not have money to buy these supplies either. National and international organizations are trying to help the residents of these camps. Without any doubt, the Haitian government appreciates this assistance a lot.

All of a sudden, the residents of these camps are supposed to find better shelter to stay away from the hurricane’s path and shake. Where do you think they are going to find better shelter in which to stay out of the rain and hurricane?

Authorities stated that people can find shelter in churches and schools. Many of these buildings are not close to the camp residents. Ready or not, the rain and hurricane wind brought by Tomas will not wait for anybody.

After this hurricane, there will be many other hurricanes. The question we need to ask is when liveable homes will be ready for these quake survivors, or when they will stop living in these deplorable conditions. Many Haitians are complaining that the government-provided homes were built by builders who only cared about making money or those who never care about providing a good finished product. They are wondering why these dwellings can not withstand a hurricane’s strength.

Haiti has many trade professionals that are ready to work. They are ready to build homes, but people do not have money. Many first-world countries such as the U.S.A made pledges after the quake, but they have not been able to deliver the money yet.

All these trade people want to work. Cabinetmakers want to make furniture such as beds, chairs and tables. Blacksmith want to work in wrought iron for verandas. Carpenters can no t wait to go to the work site to do carpentry work. Cutlery experts want to do their thing too. Shoemakers would like to find good-paying jobs repairing shoes too. With employment, people can earn more money. They can buy better-looking clothes and suits that tailors design. All beautiful and proud Haitian women can go negotiate and chat with their designers. Haitians are more interested in building their homes. They are not used to sleeping outside like horses and other animals. Being exposed to the elements makes children and grownups sick. And if they are already sick, they can not recover quickly. That is why masons need to pour concrete, build walls and homes. Cabinet makers need to make doors, windows, and other wooden decorations Haitians enjoy putting in their homes. Those who are building their homes must be prudent to avoid being the prey of bad builders who are only interested in making money or taking advantage.

En La Víspera de Un Huracán En Puerto Príncipe, Haití

Hay muchas actividades en la casa de todo el mundo. La gente verifica y repara los hoyos en el tejado y la estructura de su casa. Los dueňos de casa clavan clavos en la tabla y fijan paredes. Parecen confundidos y tienen miedo de lo que va a pasar. Van de compras para la vivienda. Compran casi lo todo. Todo el mundo camina por todas partes. Los residentes necesitan gasolina, vela o linterna, cajas de cerillas, y lámparas. Muchas de estas personas se encuentran muy sorprendidas por el costo muy alto de los artículos ordinarios. Que tienen que hacer los padres en una situación similar? Tienen que dar de comer a sus hijos.

Despuės del terremoto que destruyó muchas casas, no hay muchas casas que se quedaron de pie, que pueden aguantar, resistir las fuerzas de un huracán. Hasta ahora, hay muchos Haitianos que siguen viviendo en campamento de carpas, en moradas de cartón y de palos cubiertos con tela. Tienen calor cuando hace calor. Son mojados cuando está lluviendo. Pierden todas sus posesiones cuando hay viento. Las condiciones sanitarias no son buenas. Pueden encontrar basura y agua azulada por todas partes. Viven como si fueron refugiados en territorios extranjeros. Sin embargo viven en su país (Son pocos de los resultados del terremoto del 12 de Enero de 2010!). Los encampamentos de carpas están llenos de residentes que no pueden hacer nada para ameliorar su situación. Les faltan herramientas y utensilios. Tampoco no tienen dinero para comprar estos utensilios. Las organizaciones nacionales e internacionales intentan de ayudar a los residentes de estos encampamentos. Sin duda, el gobierno Haitiano agradece, aprecia esta ayuda mucho.

De repente, los residentes de estos encampamentos tienen que encontrar mejor abrigo contra la trayectoria y las sacudidas del huracán. En donde piensan que ellos van a encontrar mejor protección para quedarse fuera de la lluvia y del huracán?

Las autoridades indicaron que los residentes pueden encontrar abrigo en las iglesias y escuelas. Muchos de estos edificios no están cerca de los residentes en los encampamentos. Listos o no, la lluvia y el viento traidos por Tomás no van a esperar a nadie.

Después de este huracán, Tomás, más huracanes van a ocurir. La pregunta que debemos hacer es cuando casas van a estar listas para los supervivientes, damnificados del temblor de tierra o cuando van a parar de vivir en estas condiciones lamentables. Muchos Haitianos se quejan de que las cajitas temporales proveidas por el gobierno fueron construidas por constructores que se enteresaban solo en ganar dinero o a ellos no les importó proveer un buen producto. Se piden porque estas viviendas no pueden resistir las fuerzas de un huracán.

Haiti tiene muchos profesionales que estan listos para trabajar. Estan listos para construir casas. Sin embargo las personas no tienen plata. Muchos paises desarollados tales como los EE.UU prometieron ayuda financiera tras el temblor de tierra pero todavia no pueden entregar el dinero.

Todos estos profesionales quieren trabajar. Los ebanistas quieren construir mueble tales como camas, sillas y mesas. Herreros quieren hacer trabajo en hierro forjado para terraza o veranda. Los carpinteros ya no pueden esperar y quieren ir al campo de trabajo para conducir su trabajo de carpintería. Zapateros quisieran encontrar buen empleo para reparar zapatos tambien. Con el empleo, las personas pueden ganar más dinero. Pueden comprar ropas y trajes bonitos producidos por sastres. Todas las muchachas Haitianas bonitas y orgullosas pueden negociar y charlar con sus sastras. Los Haitianos se enteresan más en construir sus casas. No suelen dormir al aire libre como caballos y los demás animales. Ser expuesto a los elementos en el medio ambiente hace enfermar a los chicos y adultas. Y si ya estan enfermos, no pueden curar. Por esta razón, los albañiles necesitan vaciar concreto, levantar un muro y construir viviendas. Los ebanistas necesitan hacer puertas, ventanas y otras decoraciones que a los Haitianos les gusta poner en sus casas. Los que construyen sus casas tienen que prestar la atención para evitar a los constructores malos quienes se enteresan solamente en hacer dinero y aprovecharse de los demás.
