“No Haitian is ever hungry.”

There is a Haitian saying that says, “No Haitian is ever hungry.” We know that is not true! A large majority of the Haitian people are hungry! But, they are also unselfish and have a gift of hospitality.

When a Haitian person only has a loaf of bread, he will break it in half to share with those nearby. Thus, the meaning of the saying! I saw this very thing in action last night. French fried potatoes had been prepared for me. I could not eat all of them, so I offered them to one of the neighborhood children who I knew was hungry. Soon she was offering some of it to her sister and then the Camp children started gathering around. As one little girl bit into a fry, she took the second half of the fry and put it into the mouth of another child. They all took turns sharing the spoon to scoop up the sauce that was at the bottom of the pan. All the children went away happy having had at least one bite of food. These actions continue to remind me what a selfish person I am!
