Collectif Haiti de Provence reports (Kr) on a Creole language mass that took place last Sunday in Marseilles, France for the Haitian community there: “More than 120 people showed up in their Sunday best.

I want to learn creole
Haitian Creole is a beautiful language that should be respected and printed worldwide in books.
Although I live far in Boston USA, I will be willing to teach some foxes the language of Rene Depestre. I am from Jacmel Haiti, I have been to Marseille a couple times even attended mess once at the Cathedrale De La Garde
