Haiti Breastfeeds / Ayiti Tete
With the help of at least 11 Haitian women and your support, we are (IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS) compiling a short and sweet book in CREOLE about
breastfeeding in Haiti for the purposes of celebrating and educating about breastfeeding in Haiti. Breastfeeding promotes women's rights, food sovereignty (that there's enough good = local food for her to eat), most often birth control, and health and healthy attachment for babe. Ayiti Tete is collecting photos of women nursing their babes from all 10 departments in Haiti plus the Diaspora.
The women need to be still nursing their babes and ideally to have nursed their baby exclusively for the first 6 months. We will publish the book online. Each participating woman will receive 1-3 copies to distribute in her home community. We are just starting to look for funds (?) for the production and distribution of copies
of the book to participating women. Please write to us on facebook if you want to participate in Ayiti Tete by finding nursing women or if you have ideas for $.  
Thank you, MESI !

Visit Ayiti Tete on facebook for PHOTOS and updates!

"whice"

Niko's found his way into the ricebowl with the rest of us. Whenever he's hungry, he walks around saying: "Where me whice?"
Among other Niko-isms, there's "Bambino, ale" (Bambino is the white dog in a previous photo) which apparently means "Bambino, stay here while I yell at you, ride you, and hit you with any long object I currently have in my hands, when we get on a mototaxi and the driver takes off, Niko says: Mama, sigh, moto-driver going faster and the other day, he asked the maid: "Kote Mama? Kote Papa?" (Kote is Where"). But WHY is the most popular word coming out of Niko's mouth. This morning before 6 AM, I woke up to: why sleeping Mama? followed immediately with "Wake up, Mamaaaa" followed with "Why get up, Mama?" I said, kiss me Niko, so he did, followed by: "Why kish Mama?" because I love you, "Why wuv me, Mama?" because you're my boy..."Why boy, Mama?" Anyways, I got to run the kid is literally playing with the matches I just bought at the Marche.
