I believe 3rd world issues are 1st world issues. I believe we need to learn something from developing nations around the world. I believe we need to emulate their hearts. I believe we need to use our minds to change the outcome of this story. We are all responsible to each other. If we commit to eradicating poverty in developing nations, not only will we find partners in economy, but laborers in joy… now in high demand in the United States.
I saw the unimaginable. Unclaimable. Unachievable. How on earth was it possible? How do they do it? Yellow, dustied walls. Bare. No pretty posters with sentence starters. No multiplication facts laid out fin rows. No fancy electric boards that smartly take photos of the work you’ve done; just scratchy old blackboards with a limited supply of chalk. No extra outlet to plug in their extra laptop that does not exist. This is education in Haiti for the lucky. When all else seemed bleak… formless… unsurpassable, what is it that they did? They found joy in “we."
My trip to Haiti last year with our ATLAS team was one to remember. I’d seen poverty before. Summers before, I'd spent weeks in the Amazonian Basin of Bolivia where disease and hunger were rampant. Biccho’s filled babies’ bellies and emptied the hope from their hearts. I returned to spend 3 years testing high school English. I guess I forgot what it looked like. I forgot what deep poverty looked like, the kind that doesn’t just make you feel sad because your house or your shoes are unimpressive (although that hurts just as much). IRather, it’s the kind of poverty that almost kills you. That makes mud your bed and rocks your toys. Haiti recalled those memories. Haiti repainted that picture for me. Haiti was ripple in the pond.
So what was so miraculous? They had nothing and counted each other as everything. "People matter" said their culture. Each child belongs to the community. One day, we spent time at a school playing with the village kids of Simonette. They were beautiful. White teethed and smiling. Full of life. They played free. The kids were in everyone’s front yard. No one was burdened or worried by this.They gathered in 3’s and 5’s and 10’s. An old man told us a story as a small boy tugged on his leg to pick him up. The old man reached for him and sat him next to his home. They were not related, but he saw that the boy belonged to him in some way of the heart.
And because people matter, they move forward.
An old Haitain proverb says, Beyond mountains there are mountains. The same mountains that would send me and my independent counterparts running, don’t frighten them. They seize the rolling hills together as “we." The beauty of this nation captured me. Why is it that people with such intense fervor and warmth have so little and still have so much heart. Looking into the history of Haiti, you will find colonization, slavery, and injustice along with natural disaster and debilitating support campaigns. These have wounded the economy, agriculture, educational structures and government capacity for far beyond the years needed to fix it. There is a systematic poverty that keep Haiti at half bay to breakthrough. What am I doing to change this? What can I do? Can I really, sustainably feed every child in Haiti? I know that I cannot. What I can do is support 1. What I can do is begin to think of the world as “WE,” not America and then Haiti way over there… a second though. But US, the world. We are global peoples. We are not just stuck on this continent. But with the internet, the whole world is our neighbor. Jesus says, treat yourself as your neighbor. What is it that I do for myself that I cannot extend to someone else? Sponsor one child and you send them to school. Buy one headband and you employ one woman.
