Lala, Lili, and Lila's Adventures in Rescueing Child Servant Tifani Restavek

2014-10-04T00:19:00.000-07:00

Three adventurous and well-off Haitian girls, Lili, Lala, and Lila set out to rescue a servant girl named Tifani Restavèk from a mean neighbor family who mistreats her and makes her do all kinds of forced labor while their own children, especially KansonFè IronPants, tease her while watching her work her heart out in the stiffling Caribbean sun. These three girls go to private catholic schools in Port-au-Prince. Way before the quake that hit Haiti, the three girls devise a plan to start reading stories to Tifani while she stands by the fence. They want to teach her to read and write. In general, Restaveks (servant boys and girls whose parents can not take care of them and economically forced to let them go live with well-off city dwellers) do not expect to be treated well and go to school. Will these girls ever even get close to Tifani to tell her about their plans? A miracle would have to happen first. All of Tifani’s work is for nothing. Her only reward is more work and belittling. Tifani can not go to school or even take reading and writing lessons. Her supervisors, the Mesye and Madanm of the house would not let that happen. Then, on January 12, 2010, a 7.1 quake hit and destroyed Port-au-Prince and its nearby communities in less than 35 seconds. Lili, Lala and Lila’s mission changes. They set out to find and rescue Tifani from under the mountains of rubble. Will they ever find her alive? Is the quake the miracle that will make her supervisors, Mesye and Madanm KansonFè, set her free? Tifani may as well find her freedom right in the midst of the rubble that covers her frail body.

Note that Lila is on the cover of this story!

The release of this new CD, 'Most Popular Haitian Children's Church Songs in French and Creole' is in response to the many requests obtained from U.S and Canadian Churches with missionary work in Haiti. Many missionaries have also written me about this CD.

Thanks for your long wait. I hope that many of these songs and choruses will help you worship, sing along and deepen your learning of the culture and Haitian languages.

As you may have already known this, Haiti has two official languages. While we are currently focusing on the language spoken by all Haitians, we will also pay attention to the other language, French. Creole and French exist side by side in Haiti. It makes sense that some of the popular songs are in French or both of the languages.

Most Popular Haitian Children's Songs and Choruses will get you acquainted with this bilingualism that exists in Haiti.

That is why we have created http://kreyolaudiomp3.blogspot.com to help Missionaries find some of the Christian CDs we are going to publish on this site. Good listening and please inform your friends and sister churches and other missionaries about this release!

Translation :

Poukisa Tijan P-al Lekòl –
Why Tijan Does Not Go To School
The Godfather’s Mercy – Parenn Pran Pitye

Once upon a time a little boy named Tijan decided to learn how to read and write. Tijan was born in a little village located next to Léogâne, Haiti, on top of a huge mountain called Katwen. He is Mrs. Altidor’s second child. He has an older sister who is living with her father’s relatives. Tijan’s older sister’s name is Marijo. Tijan does not have the same father as Marijo. In fact, he does not know his father. Marijo’s father has sent her to school. Tijan does not have a parent who can send him to school.

Every year, he gets very sad when he sees his older sister’s new uniform, shoes, socks, books and other supplies. Tijan would like to learn how to read and write too but his father did not recognize him.

Mrs. Altidor can not help Tijan find his father. She does not know the identity of her son’s father. Mrs. Altidor does not remember anything at all because she is always drunk. She enjoys drinking Tafia (a strong alcoholic beverage in Haiti), alcohol, and smoking cigarettes. When she earns any money, she wastes it in beverages, junk food, and fried goodies. That is why Marijo’s father had taken her away from her.

Tijan is ten years old now. His friends have started to tease him and to call him names such as “idiot, dumb beast, animal.” They thought he was imbecile. However, he knows he is not dumb. He has a plan. “If only the plan can work, I will be able to show everybody that I am an intelligent guy.”

That is how Tijan decided to walk to the residence of his godfather who was living in the city of Léogâne. His godfather had a lot of contacts in town. He has sent all of his children to school. Mr. Bonifas took pity of Tijan who broke out crying and complaining.

“It looks like you are moving away, Tijan!” remarked Mr. Bonifas as he spotted him. “Where is your mother? Why did she not come with you?”
“Godfather, I want to live with you. I can not take it any longer up in the mountain,” Tijan replied. “Manman-m, my mother does not want to do anything for me. All the money she earns goes to her alcohol. I am ten years old. I do not know how to read and write.”
Surprised, Mr. Bonifas asked, “Your mother has not sent you to school?”
“No. She is drunk all the time. She does not have a dry day. She has no time to think about such things.”
“Your mother has never told you about your father.”
“No. Do you know my father? You know I am fatherless. Marijo has a father. She is living at her grandparents’ home.”
Mr. Bonifas looked at his eyes. He did not utter a word. Neither did he try to answer his question or reveal his father’s identity.
“What were you doing during all these years?”
“Every year I thought my mother was going to send me to school. But she never had time to do that.”
Mr. Bonifas became meditative. He was taken aback by his godson’s declarations. He thought Tijan had the same providing father as his older sister, Marijo.
“Alcohol is a bad thing. It is a vice. The woman neglected her responsibility because of tafia. That is what is destroying the country.”

Mr. Bonifas opened the back door of the store. He took the little box of clothes and sandals that Tijan had carried. That was all his possession. He placed it in a room behind the counter. He said, “Welcome home! Welcome to my home! I am going to do all I can do for you. I am going to raise you just like my ten sons and daughters.”
“Am I going to become your 11th child?”
“Yes. You are my godson, Tijan. The only thing I ask is to work hard at the store and at school.”

Mr. Bonifas telephoned his wife to announce the news of Tijan’s arrival.
“Darling, I have news for you. Do you remember my godson who lives on top of the mountain of Léogâne?”
“Hello darling. Yes, I do. The mountain people who know have told me that she has no more strength to walk down to trade around here. She drinks too much tafia.”
“Aha! You know her very well.”
“She is a drunkard. She has other vices too. She smokes. No men want to stay with her too long. Did they ever find out who the father of her son is?”
“Cheri, darling. I can not answer this question.”
“Why not, honey?”

Au Clair de la Lune....

Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot
Prête moi ta plume, pour ecrire un mot,
Ma chandele est morte, je n’ai plus de feu
Ouvre-moi ta porte, pour l’amour de Dieu

Au clair de la lune, Pierrot repondit:
“Je n’ai pas de plume, je suis dans mon lit,
Va chez la voisine, je crois qu’elle y est
Car dans sa cuisine, on bat le briquet

Au clair de la lune, l’aimable lubin
Frappe chez la brune, elle repond soudain
“Qui frappe de la sorte? il dit a son tour
Ouvrez votre porte pour le Dieu d’amour

Au clair de la lune, on n’y voit qu’un peu
On chercha la plume, on chercha du feu
En cherchant de la sorte je n’sais c’qu’on trouva
Mais je sais qu’ la porte sur eux se ferma.

Fèt Ayisyen – Haitian Celebrations and Holidays

2011-02-07T07:54:00.001-08:00

How do you say this in Creole? Ki jan ou di sa an Kreyòl ?

Happy New Year ! – Bòn Ane !

Happy birthday to you! Bòn fèt!

I wish you a happy birthday – M swete ou bòn fèt

Haitian Creole Notes: Nòt Kreyòl: On New Year’s Day, it is appropriate to wish Haitian friends prosperity and longevity. It is something you can get accustomed to. Here is what you will say:

Prosperity and longevity to you and your family! Pwosperite ak lonjevite pou tout fanmi ou!

Premye Janvye se yon jou espesyal pou tout Ayisyen. Se jou sa-a yo manje soup joumou. Se jou endepandans Ayisyen. Poukisa se soup joumou?

Anvan Ayiti pran endepandans li, esklav Sen Domeng yo pa-t gen dwa manje oswa bwè soup joumou. Kolon Fransè yo te konsidere soup joumou yon manje espesyal. Aprè Ayiti pran endepandans li an 1804, Desalin deklare tout Ayisyen gen dwa manje soup joumou.

January 1st is a specialy day for all Haitians. On this day, they consume squash soup. It is Haitians’ independence day. Why squash soup?

Before Haiti became independent, the slaves of St. Domingue were not allowed to consume squash soup which was considered a delicacy by the French colonists. After Haiti became independent in 1804, Dessalines declared that all Haitians can have squash soup.

Happy Easter – Bòn Fèt Pak!

Happy Valentine’s Day! – Bòn Fèt Sen Valanten!

Happy anniversary! Bon Anivèsè!

Labor Day – Fèt Travayè / Fèt Travay

Memorial Day – Jou zansèt yo

Mother’s Day – Fèt Manman

Father’s Day – Fèt Papa

Good Friday – Vandredi Sen

Easter Sunday – Dimanch Pak

Thanksgiving – Jou Aksyondegras

Christmas – Nowèl

To be – Se and Ye

Se – to be

We use “se” to link a subject with a noun. For example: Jan se zanmi-m – John is my friend; Se chen Manno-a – It is Manno’s dog; Se kabrit Bòs Jak – It is master craftsman Jack’s goat.

Pyebwa sa-a se yon pye zaboka – This is an avocado tree

Fifi se yon bon doktè – Fifi is a good doctor

Li s-on bon moun – He/she is a good person (Note that se yon becomes s-on here in this sentence). You can also omit “li” at the beginning of the sentence. Just say: Se yon (S-on) bon moun. This is to save time. Liaisons or contractions exist to save time and build language speed in Kreyol.

Ye – to be

We usually use “ye” at the end of a sentence. It is exclusively used in that position.

Take a look at these two sentences:

Mwen se Kanadyen – I am Canadian

Se Kanadyen mwen ye – I am Canadian. (In the second sentence, the speaker wants to emphasize his /her nationality as if a special message needs to be conveyed and understood by the listener).

Both sentences are correct. Remember that “ye” is always used at the end of the sentence. Make sure you do not confuse “ye” to be with “Yè” which stands for yesterday.

Examples – Egzanp: Ki sa sa-a ye? What is this/that ?

Ki Jan ou ye ? How are you?

Kòman nou ye? How are you doing?

Notes: Nòt Kreyòl: When followed by an adjective, the verb to be is not even mentioned or translated. Example: Jan tris – John is sad; Mari malad – Mary is sick; Benito kontan – Benito is happy; Jansimon fache – Jansimon is mad; Jak pa kontan – Jack is not happy; Remon ankòlè – Raymond is in a bad mood

Exercices: Practice making sentences using “Se” and “Ye.”

Jou Konferans: Jou Entèvyou Ant Paran ak Mèt Lekòl

Nan lekòl Etazuni, jou konferans se jou paran gen entèvyou ak pwofesè oswa mèt lekòl. Yon fwa pa ane, papa oubyen manman elèv yo vini nan lekòl pou koze avèk mèt. Yo vle konnen ki kalite pwogrè pitit yo ap fè nan klas yo. Mèt Garcia nan premyè ane li nan lekòl la. Se premyè seri entèvyou l-ap bay. Kè-l ap bat anpil pandan l-ap tann paran yo. Yon papa antre nan klas la.

Mèt Garcia: Bonjou, mesye Jan. Ki sa- m ka fè pou ou?

Mesye Jan: Bonjou. M se papa AnaMari Rodriguez. Pitit fi-m nan nan klas Matematik ou a.

Mèt Garcia: (Li panse yon ti moman paske li gen anpil elèv fi nan klas matematik la.) Mèwi AnaMari se yon bon elèv. Li toujou pase tout egzamen li yo. Li pral fè yon bèl nòt nan klas mwen an.

Mesye Jan: O! Trè byen. Se trè byen sa. Eske AnaMari toujou fè devwa li?

Mèt Garcia: Wi. Mèwi. Pa gen anpil bon etudyan tankou pitit fi ou la nan tout lekòl la. Li toujou prepare leson li. Li reponn kesyon m poze-l tou. Li toujou pote liv ak plum li. Li fè yon bon travay

Mesye Jan: Mèsi Letènèl! Ou se premye mèt ki di sa. Tout lòt mèt yo di ke AnaMari sòt, enbesil, Yo di AnaMari pa janm vle fè dewa li, ke li pase tout jounen an san li pa etudye. Tout sa li fè se selman se panse ak tigason.

Mèt Garcia: Non, Mesye. Pitit fi ou la pa konsa. Lòt mèt yo dwe fè erè.

Mesye Jan: Mèsi anpil. Mèsi anpil.

Mèt Garcia: Aprè sis minut. Yon lòt paran antre nan klas la.

Mesye Jansibon Rodrigues: Bonjou Mesye. M se papa AnaMaria Rodrigues. Pitit fi-m nan nan klas Matematik ou a

Mèt Garcia: (Li etone. Li surpri anpil). AnaMaria Rodrigues. O! Bondye! Se
AnaMaria pa ou la ki se bon elèv la. M te fè yon erè. Gen de AnaMaria nan klass mwen yo.

--------------El Dia De Conferencia: El Dia de Entrevista Entre Padres y Maestros------------

En las escuelas de los Estados Unidos, los dias de conferencia son los dias cuando padres tienen una entrevista entre los profesores o maestros. Una vez al año, los padres o las madres de los alumnos vienen a las escuelas para platicar con los maestros. Quieren saber que tipo de progreso sus niños estan haciendo en las clases. Maestro Gracia está en su primer año de enseñanza en la escuela. Es el primer grupo de entrevistas que el está dando. El espera nerviosamente la llegada de los padres (Su corazón palpita mucho mientras espera a los padres)

Maestro Garcia: Buenos Días! En qué puedo servirle?

Sr. Juan: Buenos Días! Soy el padre de AnaMaria Rodriguez. Mi hija está en su clase de Matemáticas.

Maestro Garcia: (Piensa un momentito porque tiene muchas alumnas en sus clases.). Ah sí. AnaMari es una alumna excelente. Siempre sale bien en los exámenes. Va a sacar una nota buena en mi clase.

Sr. Juan: Ay, qué bueno! Hace siempre AnaMari su tarea?

Maestro Garcia: Claro que sí. En la escuela no hay muchas como ella. Siempre prepara sus lecciones y contesta mis preguntas. Trae sus libros y su pluma todos los dias. Hace buen trabajo.
