Why I Love Haiti by Denilson Joseph
That reason that I love Haiti is because it is my native country. I grew up here and who doesn’t love his homeland!? There are also other reasons that I love Haiti. We have an extraordinary climate, gorgeous beaches and sun. Also, Haitian cooking is very famous.
The reason that I love Haiti the most is because we were the first blacks to end slavery in the world. We are a people who are resilient, who know how to work hard and who are very hospitable. Everyone in Haiti has a brotherhood.
Despite a lot of suffering, the kids always fight to have a smiling face. If I continue to write I will never finish! These are all the reasons I love Haiti.
