It's so crazy this family martelly did something I would have never allow my husband to do which is put that burden on my back at its worst but his wife and kids deserve the credit due to their strength.

I see his work the democracy he witness other countries have th behaviors the law but Haiti refuse to be civilize.

No1 will ever be good enough but mad at us diaspora who stayed here smh there's no envy to open nothing there someone fighting for the country but Haiti mind too narrow to see through it. Martelly and his crew busy snow day sunny or not instead of enjoy the beach here the democracy the culture he fighting for home.

But this an eye opener this country only but so much energy u can invest its curse.
