Haiti - Commemoration : Michaelle Jean will be in Haiti Wednesday 10/01/2011 10:13:29
A visit that we remind her first statements, where under the shock, she said the day after the earthquake "The Haitian communities across Canada are like me heartbroken and overwhelmed by the magnitude of the disaster. The images and news that are unbearable. [...] There is also what we imagine and that no image can capture and increases our sense of powerlessness." On 14 January in tears, Michaëlle Jean had said "The images and news are unbearable [...] all this trouble, all this suffering, all this loss... There is also what we imagine and that no image can capture and increases our sense of powerlessness [...] It's incredible, it's like an atomic bomb fell on Port-au-Prince." Learn more about Michaelle Jean: She is born on September 6 1957, in Jacmel (Haiti), Michaelle Jean (the niece of the famous poet Rene Depestre) and her family fled the Duvalier dictatorship in 1968.
