Haiti - News : Zapping... 03/01/2022 16:33:21 "I have the hope that we will come to admit that we are a great people. Hope to build living together.

We have to invent new ways of doing things to live together. We cannot continue to do the same things and repeat the same mistakes which will certainly lead to the same results."
