 Peyi Nou Ka Chanje by Haitian-American author Monano Pierre-Paul, is a short theatrical play in which the 6 main characters talk about the social, economic and political situation of their country and how they each would approach the changes needed in Haiti.
According to some of the testimonies submitted to Monano, this book is the first Kreyol-written theatrical play that many Haitians have read, and it has raving reviews! It is a very fun book that you will enjoy from start to finish. Download a free PDF version of the book here. Monano has distributed the book for free throughout Haiti. He has sent 10,250 copies of it back home. It is now available in over 50 libraries, schools and churches all over the country. Thank you Monano for sharing your talent with the world!

 The Real Haiti Kids is an online portal for parents and teachers to access information about Haiti and the Haitian culture. Sure, you could spend hours and hours searching for kid-friendly information about Haiti (trust me, I've been doing this for years) and you will find some with lots of digging. However, the information either outdated, terrible quality, in 5 million different places or about an orphan or earthquake survivor. There's so much more to Haiti and Haitian culture than devastation and feeling like we need to save Haiti. We provide quality resources for parents and teachers to use to teach kids about Haiti and Haitian culture.

We've spent a few Christmas holidays in Haiti, but since I didn't grow up there, I had to do my own research through my family and the Internet about what Christmas is like (mostly as a child) in Haiti. We are raising our two little boys to appreciate their Haitian heritage and to learn the Haitian Creole language. Christmas in Haiti brings the same universal magical feeling to everyone, especially kids. Here are some Haitian Christmas songs, traditions and printables to teach about Christmas in Haiti!

Christmas Traditions in Haiti
Christmas Eve On Christmas Eve, children place their clean shoes full of straw, under the tree on the porch. They hope that Tonton Nwèl (Santa Claus) will remove the straw and put presents in and around the shoes. Guests usually lend their visits a little before or around midnight to attend La Messe de Minuit (Midnight Mass for Catholics). Or, some leave to go party or caroling. There is also the Revellion, French for Christmas supper, eaten after midnight mass. Traditionally, the meal served is rice, beans, and fried chicken. Read a beautiful 1960's memoir written by Jean-Marie Florestal titled Christmas In Jérémie. What a great read...I could really picture the scenes!
