The Real Haiti turns 1! Recent fun & future plans

On November 20, 2011 I posted my first blog entry which was pictures and a recipe of sos pwa congo. When I think about how much I've learned about Haiti and the culture since then, I am amazed by the load of info that you have all shared with me and the openness I have received. 


With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I want to THANK YOU ALL for your support, motivation, ideas and encouragement. You often thank me for having this site, but really, I THANK YOU! This year has been full of learning opportunities and new friendships that I cherish so much! Plus, tons of photos and videos to share with everyone and keep as memories forever! Happy Thanksgiving!

For the kids
As much as I care for the positive things about Haiti, I also recognize and support organizations that work so hard to help the less fortunate in Haiti. If you're in the South Florida area on Dec. 2, please consider coming to this event! I hope to see you there!!! Thank you!

On TV
I contacted the president of a new Haitian TV network that is debuting in South Florida, broadcasting mainly in Creole to fast-growing Haitian communities from Delray Beach to Florida City. He loved my website and videos enough that he will be airing them on the TV channel!

For laughs
A friend of mine, Stanley Toussaint, shares his humor and personality on his YouTube channel. Recent videos include "Things Haitian parents say" and "Pick up lines girls hate."
