When I say Krik? You say Krak!: February 2011
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
When I say Krik? Saturday, February 12, 2011. I live in Haiti! Just having one of those days, looking out over my desk onto the courtyard at work, thinking "Holy cow, I live in Haiti. How did I get here again? Why am I here? I can't. They mean too much to me to leave. I don't really know if I am making that much of an impact on their lives, but I am certain that they have already changed mine forever. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: Bon Ane! Happy New Year!
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2012/01/bon-ane-happy-new-year.html
When I say Krik? Thursday, January 12, 2012. The hard work paid off in a congratulatory and satisfied compliment from my directors. SCORE! I want those cool, white pants, man…. I am currently back in PAP (Port-au-Prince) after a 2-week winter vacation in California. When I left, I felt so sad to leave Haiti. I didn’t want to go. I wasn’t ready to leave Ayiti Cheri. Mwen te sezi vre. There is a lot of history there. I grew up in those mountains. Was it just nostalgia? I still don’t know, but not a s...

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: November 2010
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
When I say Krik? Monday, November 8, 2010. Rolando and the Hardware Adventure. Saturday October 23, 2010. A few days ago I had a bad day. I had a whole entry written about everything that was wrong…mostly things related to homesickness, sleeping by myself in a concrete box (I really miss Oscar), and about being alone as an American woman in Haiti. But it just isn’t good to harp on the negative, so I’ve let that day go along with the post. I had no idea where I was. What would I do? We got back in the car...

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: It's like thunder! Lightnin'! The way you love me is frightenin'!
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-like-thunder-lightnin-way-you-love.html
When I say Krik? Tuesday, May 24, 2011. The way you love me is frightenin'! It's been almost 4 months since I last wrote, and I know that all of you out there are aching for me to write. Instead of trying to catch you up, I'm just going to continue from this point forward. Maybe I'll make some "looking back" posts, but judging by my current blogging statistics, it's unlikely. Anywho. The floods carry all the mud and trash that people throw in the street, too. Once the water level settles, banks of said m...

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: May 2011
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
When I say Krik? Monday, May 30, 2011. Mr Big Stuff, who do you think you are? Yes, I am currently on a Jean Knight kick, but rest assured that the song and title of this blog post couldn't be more perfect. Just keep reading! The other night I decided to stay at the office through the rain to get some extra work done and putz around on the internet while I had the chance. A student, Richard, was willing to stay and escort me home. He responds (in Creole, but I've translated it), "Why are you walking?

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: About Haiti
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/p/about-haiti.html
When I say Krik? For those of you wanting more information on Haiti, its history, and its culture, I've posted links to some helpful websites. Peruse them at your will. I have found them quite enlightening. General information, from the free encyclopedia. CIA World Factbook: Haiti. Strictly the facts. Lots of data and numbers. National Geographic: Haiti Guide. A good resource for pictures, maps, and links to other articles. Haitian Arts and Culture Network. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Chocolate War: ...

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: Check that off my list
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2012/03/check-that-off-my-list.html
When I say Krik? Saturday, March 3, 2012. Check that off my list. The day after my last post, also the day after the anniversary of the earthquake, I was thrust into a rare experience brought to you by the life and times of a privileged foreigner living in Haiti. Friday, January 13, 2012 (doomed from the beginning? I had no car, no knowledge of an emergency room in Haiti, no personal doctor’s number…essentially, we had nothing. And. Garry, our country director and all around go-to guy, was out of the cou...

When I say Krik? You say Krak!: December 2010
http://mimienayiti.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
When I say Krik? Sunday, December 12, 2010. Yes, I am well aware that I am failing miserably at this whole blogging thing. Jarrett Allen never lets me forget it. Maybe it will be one of my New Year’s Resolutions…? That’s simply unacceptable. We’ve spent the last two weeks hovering in a state of mixed emotions, mainly comprised of relief, anxiety, frustration, and anticipation. What would the CEP (Counseil Electoal Provisoire) release? Note: There is little faith in this organization, as they are believed...
