Meeting with Haitian Ambassador

Cindy and I were invited to meet with the Haitian ambassador, Raymond Joseph, on Wednesday.  We spent over an hour and a half listening to stories. Cindy presented the work of Maison de Naissance. He is a fascinating man who struggled against the dictatorship of Papa Doc Duvalier and was sentenced to death in abstentia for his short-wave radio broadcasts into Haiti.  He was the first one to translate the New Testament and Psalms into Creole and is Wyclef Jean's uncle.
