What is leve nòs?

My mother keeps bringing up this concept of level nòs. She's says it's like a celebratory dinner hosted by the bride and groom's family on the 8th day after wedding. I'd like to learn more about this. I can find anything about this online. Does anyone have any insight on this that they can share with me? Thanks in advance.

Non-profit organizations to help donate necessities to Haiti?

Hello, my school is looking to do some kind of drive in hopes to donate resources to haiti. We’re not looking to donate money, but rather items because item-based drives are very popular in my community. Food, clothes, toys, all things of that nature would be nice.

Would you mind giving recommendations? Also, if i happen to find an organization on my own (which I have found two), how do I know they are trustworthy?

Looking for a stock trade company that can done from Haiti

Hi - I was wondering if anyone can point me toward a stock trading company that can be done from Haiti. I have a relative there that is not a US citizen- used E*Trade to play the stock market but now they have frozen his account because they want him to have a broker and sell his stocks … their policy has changed. Schwab and Fidelity needs a SSN / Tax I’d - which he does not have and will not accept trade from Haiti He does not invest much but likes to play the stock market and learn about different business that are out there

Which other sites are a possibility and will take his info / he has a passport Haitian identification etc…- Merci

I need help ! Recommendations on how to stay in contact with my dad in Haiti

So as the title says , my dad is going to be going to Haiti to visit soon. And we’re trying to stay in contact . Last time he went he says he was scammed by someone who claimed he’d be able to make international calls to me in US , but he wasn’t even able to make calls with that phone .

I’ve had multiple people tell me “only if he has WiFi” but the biggest downside is that my dad is going to a part of Haiti where there’s not much electricity and I doubt there’ll be WiFi . He also doesn’t know how to connect to WiFi. (He’s pretty old)

If anyone has any recommendations please let me know .

TLDR : Family going to Haiti , need a way to contact them . (They won’t have WiFi)

Apprentissage du créole haïtien (kreyòl)?

Bonjour,

Je veux apprendre le créole haïtien/kreyòl.

Ma langue maternelle est l'anglais (je suis américain) mais je parle aussi le français. Je me demandais s'il serait plus facile d'apprendre kreyòl à partir du français plutôt que de l'anglais ? Si oui, existe-t-il des ressources pour apprendre la langue à partir du français ?

Je suis en train d'étudier Duolingo en ce moment, mais ce serait à partir de l'anglais.

Merci d'avance.

Can someone help me find this song older Haitian song?

Hi, I'm 1st generation American. Both parents are from Haiti. Before I start off I'd like to say I hope you and your families are all safe with what's going on in the country right now.

I remember being a kid and my mom playing this one song in the car all the time. Maybe 2003-2008? I'm really unsure of the years but I know it was between then. My creole isn't that great and it defintley was nonexistent back then.

The song was mostly in Creole and there's lyric i remember, I think it goes like "kòb mwen rete piti chak fwa mwen ale ayiti." And another one is like "Mwen santi mwen pa ka fè sa ankò"

And then the guy starts singing in English.. He says something like "when somebody leave your country for work....." "you must take a chance and look for nobody"

It's been stuck in my head for a while and I don't want to ask my Mom yet. Does anyone have any idea the artist or song?

What's next folks? The take over of murderous terrorists, rapist is imminent. I am 100 percent sure of it

But of course government officials want to be surrounded by 10-20 officers that should be in battle. When shit truly hits the fan they will be on a plane to France, Canada and U.S to bail out.

Thanks to Haitian politicians, corrupt businessmen who have had their family bail the country already. It will take much more resources to get rid of these warlords, terrorists

It's like seen a disease progress and no one is doing what it truly takes to destroy the disease but let it keep spreading

The reality is that this isn't just going to be a Haiti problem if it isn't stopped.

-Next Famine, food will not come into a country run by murderous gangs Criminal network to other Caribbean islands will increase, Trinidad, Jamaica's gang problems will increase due to higher gun trades Massive loads of immigrants because they will not be able to handle it

The reality bombing places like gran ravine, ba delmas, Canaan, vilaj , savyen -- will be a damn good start.
