Hello my dear friend.

I completely agree with you saying that the administration is the reason for Haiti's downfall.

But as that being true, let us not forget that the people of Haiti also has some blames with the lack of education and the lack of drive to make drastic changes.

We need reiterate the slogan "you can teach an old dog new tricks" which many of you reading this would agree that many elderly Haitians are VERY stubborn and by an educated person trying to reason with them. It's harder than pulling teeth.

We need to capture the young mind that is unspoiled and guide them to a new age of educated young minds that will one day take what they have acquired and blossom Haiti to success.

The children are the future.

I strongly feel that, with the knowledge I have acquired while in the US. I have to capacity to change lives in Haiti.

As I was a child in Haiti with so much potential but not giving the guidance and the proper tools, I would not have been able to write this. Final thoughts...Creole is not a true language...if studied correctly..it is an uneducated way of speaking and writing French with influence of other language mainly by word of mouth being repeated after and after which becomes permanently fix in everyday speech.

ei im not great in creole (kreyol) but here it goes....okasyon (occasion)--bondie (Bon Dieu)--aksepte (accepter) tout lèzòt(Tous les autres)fèt (fête)--anivèsè(anniversaire).

...enuff, haha...enough...C'est assez, please learn how to spell, please teach the people how to spell properly, creole is just a spelling bee nightmare of french.

Creole is an excuse for not properly learning how to speak or spell in French.

We need to educate the young minds of Haiti to learn how to spell and speak properly...this is really sad. WE REALLY NEED HELP.
