Weeping for my brothers and sisters.

I have always seen Haiti as Jamaica's long lost twin. Separated at birth, but fraternal by genes. These insights into its fractured, limping state of existence give me a remarkable sense of deja vu: I see Jamaica in Haiti and Haiti in Jamaica.

Haiti for Hatians!
