I recently spoke to a 26 years old female who lives in Haiti and is very successful there.(She spoke and I listen my creole is pretty bad ) We talked about the day of the earthquake, and how the country coping today.
Yolene told me that she was in her home in Cap Haitian when the earthquake hit. Fortunately, Cap Haitian was not damaged in the earthquake. She states that "I heard about the impact of the earthquake in Port -au -prince as soon as it hit". She told me that the capital will never be the same, historic building are no longer standing anymore. She told me that even though she lived so far from the Port- au -Prince she had to sleep with her clothes on just in case she has to run out.
Some of her stories broke my heart, She spoke about a wedding that was going on that day in the famous Hotel Montana. Sadly the hotel collapsed on the bride and groom and all their guest. :( Yolene shared more tragic stories that I can only imagine in movies.
Despite the hardships, she believes that the only way the country can get back on their feet is if everyone work together. She wants to go back to the old Haiti. The Haiti she once and always will love.
