            Sombrero Ecuador,a patient job

t was unbelievable. As he was leaving office, an experienced and talented ambassador surprised his colleagues with an ordinary gift. That was something made home, and we could understand that this official wanted to make his country known. But, at the end of the day, this gift had been a very precious one, because it had survived the test of time.

 Originated in the Equatorian provinces of Montechristi and Jipijapa, the hat known as Panama started its journey back to 1600 AD, when according to some documentation, people begun to carry what is really a piece of art due to the weaving of tequila straw, mentioned the papers.  Over the years, famous officials  and executives  such as Harry Truman, Ernest  Hemingway, Wilson Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt, attended meetings, conferences,  and so forth, weaving this hat they used to have on their head.

But in nearby Haiti, people continue to sing over and over Panama mwen tombe!

The fact  that  Panama City  sold a lot the Equatorian sombrero doesn’t mean that this hat was originated  over there. Equatorians citizens want you to be aware of this. Ambassador Jorge Jurado also.

HAITIAN HOPE

        Imagine orphans in the Santo Domingo streets struggling for daily life! Imagine also youths sleeping everywhere or making a living as shoeshine. Like everywhere else, SD is a big city for homeless! Close by Haiti ist still busing itself in pouring out its out of control population into the surrounding islands. Haiti continue to launch its one century silent conquest aboard.

       A group of Haitian professionals   want to  stop this  fateful process.   From this idea was born  the  HAVEN Project.  Haitian life has been never rosy  at La Romana ,Santo Domingo, but dreaming the best for children is still a blessing for the heart!,  Dr Yolaine Gaston, Maud Heurtelou  and other professionals are committed to giving a second chance to the Haitian children  roaming at large.

        Even when SD authorities become anger, life goes on among children  and  other people long time stuck in the bateys. You can believe that the Haitian Question is still an unlimited one and this launching Good Samaritan job a drop in the ocean, the move is not worthless. Who knowsɁ  

       This project is at its beginning. but hope is there.

Watch Paris at night

 

La foret de Montmorency. Watch Paris at night! Not too far at the beginning of this famous Montmorency, laid some hills from which it is allowed to see Paris . However, we can’t forget the magic of this ending spring afternoon at Montmorency. Imagine Jean Jacques Rousseau birthplace and so many small houses, some back to the 18^th century. Here even a stone has a story of its own.  Montmorency remains a mix of history along with close by modern life.

             North Dakota, US

     

 

                                                   Back from North Dakota where she had attended a graduation event, Ms M. Charles had been a little bit   turned off by daily life there. Obviously, a nearby river evokes the extinguished Indian history but, still today, people stuck to native language with unexpected eating habits. They eat a mix of meat wrapped with vegetables. As a result, overweight is current, but Dakota citizens enjoy their way of living. 

      A native of NY City, Ms Charles spent a boring stay over there.  However she wrote “My North Dakota experience wasn't what I expected, but I made my stay somehow enjoyable”.
