Denye bout wout sou chimen Lakay

Alo fanmi m yo,
Lone ak Reverans pou nou !
 
Se Djaloki.  Kouman sa ye bo kote nou ?  Bo kote pa m, tout bagay anfom.  Nou kontinye ap pote mesaj louvri je, edikasyon, Respe ak Diyite pou Zanset yo nan peyi Blan Meriken.  Prentan louvri barye lakou li a, li kite nou antre.  Epi mwen desann nan Sid, pi pre lakay, pi pre Soley.  Li te le l te tan !  Mwen satisfe ak laviwonn mwen anpil nan peyi etranje, men m santi m bezwen rantre lakay pou m rekonekte ak Manman Te a.  Le m preske rive; m byen kontan !
 
Mwen Miami kounye a, m ap vizite kek fanmi ak zanmi nan zon Florida.  M pat janm resi konn Joj, petet m a resi konn ti fre li (Djeb Bouch, gouvene Florida)…
 
Le 30 Avril, yo envite m pale sou relasyon ant Krisyanis ak Spirityalite Afriken, nan konferans Fellowship of Friends of African Descent (FFAD - “Quakers” Nwa Ozetazini : http://www.fellowshipoffriendsofafricandescent.org).  Sa ki enteresan anpil se kote sa ap fet:
 
Youn: Konferans lan ap fet nan St Helena Island, South Carolina.  Se yon ti zile tou piti, kote desandan Afriken ki te vini nan epok esklavaj yo kenbe kilti ak langg Zanset yo ki te soti nan zon Sierra Leone, ann Afrik de lwes.  Yo rele yo “Gullah People” (Pep Gola).  Youn nan dirijan FFAD a se yon fanm Gullah ki konsakre tout lavi li sou rechech istwa ak kilti pep li a (Althea Natalga Sumpter).  Li te fe yon phD sou sa.  Sit web li, se www.altheasumpter.com.  Respe maksimom pou Pep Gullah, Pep vanyan, Pep rezistan, fanmi nou !
 
De: Ayopo ki pi pre St Helena Island, se Savannah, Georgia, kote plizye santen gerye Ayisyen te al pote kole ak Ameriken nan batay pou libete an 1779.  Anri Kristof te ladan yo, Desalin tou, si m pa twonpe m.  Yo konsidere epizod sa a kom denye gwo batay kont lame wa Angle a ki pat dako ak endepandans Etazini.  Kidonk se batay sa a ki te pote laviktwa definitif, malgre Etazini te gen tan endepandan deja.  Sanble yo pral monte yon moniman nan memwa Ayisyen sa yo, m sipoze se sou sit kote batay la te pase.  Mwen pral fe youn ou de jou Savannah.  Mwen poko gen okenn kontak direk sou plas, ni m pa konn ki kote egzakteman batay la te fet.  M ap fe rechech sou sa.  Nenpot moun ki gen nenpot enfomasyon sou batay Savannah a, ni an 1779, ni nenpot kontak nan Savannah mwen ka jwenn kounye a, tanpri fe m konnen vit !  Mesi davans pou sa.
 
M ap antre lakay le 8 Me sidyevle.

Earth Day message from the United Confederation of Taino People

Remembering Our Role As Caretakers of Mother Earth…

Happy Earth Day! No gifts to buy or cards to send this holiday –
celebrating Earth Day this Friday can be quick and easy.

1) Send a message to car makers - Cars are one of the biggest sources
of global warming pollution. California’s groundbreaking new law cuts
global warming pollution from cars. But the auto industry is suing to
block the law. As a potential customer, your voice matters. On Earth
Day, take a moment to tell car makers they should build less polluting
cars instead of suing.

2) Earth-friendly seafood - print a wallet-sized list - Farmed salmon
or wild - which is better for you and the planet? Carry this list of
fish with you, so whether shopping for groceries or dining at a
restaurant, you can always navigate your way to the best seafood
choices. Print an extra for a friend!

3) Follow 20 simple steps to help undo global warming - Global warming
is our most serious environmental problem. Today, tweak a daily habit
or two (or twenty!). Bike or carpool to work. Or even brighten your
house with more energy efficiency bulbs.   

Share this list with your friends and family, and enjoy Earth Day!
