A few days ago I was struck by the videos of this young Haitian. After the earthquake in 2010 was sent to the USA, but she never felt good there. Her focus in life has always been Haiti and despite the very negative reaction from her family members, including her parents whom she says were her biggest opponents (she claims that her relationship with her own mother deteriorated tremendously, almost to the point of become enemies), she moved back to Haiti. She claims it was the best and the hardest decision she ever made, but that it was worth it because she is happy in Haiti.
Not only did it struck me to see a young person reject life in the USA to live in a country like Haiti, but she also claims many young Haitians in the USA send her emails asking her to help them move back to Haiti too.
Is this part of a new phenomenon among young Haitians abroad? If it is part of a new desire among young Haitians, perhaps there is some hope for Haiti’s future.
Unfortunately she disabled imbedding of her videos in other websites. I’ll simply leave the links to the videos that caught my attention.
