She was honored for her work on behalf of democracy in Ha ti. After her visit, Linda Spoolstra interviewed her about her experiences. We were invited to a banquet, given by the members of the government, to receive an award in the name of our own Haitian community in the United States for participating in the struggle for Democracy in our native country. Haitians attended from Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America as well. As an observer, I realize that the climate has improved a great deal.
People are no longer afraid to participate in the political life of our nation.
Members of the media and the press are free and are a voice that the people can use as a tool to send a message and also criticize when it is necessary. The democratic government is working hand in hand with members of the human rights organizations from inside and outside the country, to promote social justice, health care, human relations and most importantly, the training of the new police force. My faith is in the God of Justice. I realize that it will take time for the victims to forgive, but with His help, time will heal the wounds. The Haitian people are in the process of electing members for a new Parliament.
