Je vous garderai dans mes prieres, car je sais sans l'aide de Dieu les projets humains ne sont que du vent. Avec la guidance divine, la determination, la foi dans ce que nous avons comme potatentialite, je suis confidente que nous pouvons realiser de tres grandes choses.

Friends it is true, they did sabotage the electricity wires during the president swearing.

I read it in Haitilibre.com and also in metropole article;they already started an investigation to find the perpetrators who did that insult not only to the president but also to the nation.

I encourage you all to keep praying for the president daily for God to help him and guide him more than ever before.

Thank
