Why Mozayik? Believe me I get this question all the time, and before embarking on this wild and crazy ride I asked myself the same question. I’ve traveled to Haiti enough times, and have seen incomprehendable hardships, challenges and countless sad stories. The truthful answer to the question “Why Mozayik”, is MONA AUGUSTIN. nike blazer pas cher nike air max nettbutikk I had seen Mona performing with a musical group called 2Rasin (Day Razeen) which often performed for us when we would take groups to Haiti. Cheap Nike Shoes Outlet UK Everyone loved the music, and loved dancing and singing along with our Haitian hosts. Mona rarely engaged with our groups and always kind of floated in and quickly disappeared after each performance. It was undeniable that he had talent as the composer and lead of the group, but he often stayed in the background. Little did I or anyone else know what a fearless and determined leader he really was. Boutique Nike I think it was on my third trip to Haiti that we took a group out to Cannan to see the “tent camp” called MOZAYIK. asics pas cher It wasn’t until then that I begin to be intrigued with the work of this incredible man named Mona. I learned that on the day of the earthquake he was suppose to teach music to the kids at St Vicent School for the handicapped. bestellen nike air max 2016 mochilas kanken big He was a volunteer there. On that day he was too sick and stayed home, unable to do much he layed in bed most of the day. At 5pm when the 7.0 quake rocked Port Au Prince Mona’s house and neighborhood collapsed around him. He was buried in rubble and dust. Nike Air Max Femme air max pas cher Nike Air Max 2017 Heren blauw Everyone at St Vincents School perished. Cheap Nike Shoes Outlet UK Nike Air Max 2016 Heren Mona knows that he was spared that day to embark on a much larger mission. When Mona finally emerged from his tiny little house he walked into the streets of Port Au Prince and was met with screams for help, injured neighbors and friends looking for loved ones and a cloud of dust so thick people could hardly breath. Nike Italia He eventually found his best friend William Loussaint who was out on the street in shock but uninjured. Neighbors quickly swarmed Mona and William and begged them to help. They cried and pleaded and told Mona that because of his “international connections” he was their only hope. Asics Pas Cher In the days following Mona and William located a vaccant lot in the neigborhood and begin leading people there, where they could set up a safe place to laydown, and attend to the thousands of walking wounded. This lot had been vacant for as long as anyone could remember and it became their “tent camp”. lunette de soleil ray ban They called themselves Mozayik (mosaic) because they felt as though they were a collection of many different people making shelters out of broken pieces of rubble and tiles they found in the street. I was so moved and intrigued by this story of solidarity, strength and tenacity. It stirred something deep inside of me. air max pas cher pour femme Fastforward 2 years, the community was forced to leave the vaccant lot so that a bank could build across the street, and the Mayor of the city didn’t think it would be good for business to have customers walking by a “tent camp”. Because everyone in the community rented their houses, and didn’t own, they basically became homeless. sac a dos kanken The government appointed an area outside of Port Au Prince and it became known as Cannan, ‘The Promised Land”. Cannan has become the second largest city in all of Haiti, now filled with the countless victims of the earthquake. Here in Cannan this community of 200 or so families, many of them women and children, struggled daily to find water, they used a nearby ravine for a little privacy to conduct their “daily business”. Once again they gathered scaps of tin, metal, bedsheets, and wood to construct little shacks to get out of the oppessive sun and constant wind. new balance 996 femme soldes They stayed together, and even built a church/school so that they could gather and pray and the children would have a place to go everyday. A teaher and a pastor emerged from the community. Our 7 day trip quickly ended and we all went back to our comfy homes in the US. Cheap Nike Shoes UK At the time I was living in an affluent subburb of Madison, WI where all I had to do was turn a faucet on to get a glass of purified water. Nike Air Max Dames I had a comfortable bed, clean sheets and air-conditioning. I enjoyed everything that almost every household in the US enjoys. Nike Air Max Norge Nettbutikk But Mona’s story and the story of Mozayik touched something deep within me and I could not forget it no matter how hard I tried. I became a “seeker”, reading countless books and one in particular called “Cold Tangerines” had a line in it that stuck with me. air max pas cher The author was telling a story about her travels in a delveloping country and she said, ” once you see it, you will never be able to unsee it, and the truth it reveals to you”. This became such a powerful statement to me, and the truth was that I would never be able to “unsee Mozayik”. Fjallraven Kanken Classic No matter how hard I tried I could not forget, no matter how overwhelming it became I could not turn away. I returned to Mozayik the following year. The community entertained our group with music drama and served us a traditional Haitian meal. oakley femme pas cher In spite of their immense struggles they were sticking together. Mona and William continued to be their leaders, signing up for a life “voluntary poverty”. nike air max 2016 blauw Mona had other options. Cheap Nike shoes UK Nike Air Max 2016 Heren blauw He did not have to stay with this community and live in such misery, he put his music career on hold for nearly 5 years. He lived in a tent for 5 years, not because he had to, but because he was following the lead of his heavenly father, mother God, who he so endearingly refers to as “his parents”. This man never ceases to inspire.
