214 years ago, Haiti, once called Hispaniola, has gained its Independence. The Haitian population is almost entirely descended from African Slaves, they won their independence with France by their sides in 1804, lead them to be the second country in the Americas, after the United States, to free itself from colonial rule.

For decades, Haiti have been struggling with corruptions in the government, naturals disasters that hardly hit them and deforestation, which makes it difficult for them to move forward. 

Haiti has beautiful beaches and the mountains are admirable, the people are welcoming. Tourism played a big part in the economy then, but now it starts to decrease. 

The Haitian culture is quite amazing. Their main religious is VOODOO, but majority of the population are Christians (protestants). They love their traditions, traditions in Haiti is very respected like; they cook SOUP JOUMOU (pumpkin soup) every January 1st to honor their independence. Nothing is more beautiful then listening to the old song written and performed by the ancestors during story times,

Haiti Has be through many ups and downs and yet still proudly standing,
