Podcast: Haiti’s ambassador to United States sends message on rebuilding
Following is the English translation of Haitian Ambassador Ray Joseph’s audio message to the people of Haiti, recorded in Creole on January 16, 2010.
My fellow Haitians, this is Raymond Joseph, Ambassador of Haiti in Washington.
I have a message for you, a message that asks you to stay home.
Don’t rush to get on boats, thinking that you are going to the United States. Because they will catch you on the water, send you back home right away.
Haiti needs you in the country so we can rebuild it hand in hand.
Strength in Unity. I am asking The Holy Father to bless you.
