It may be difficult to learn a new language, but it is SO worth the effort if you want to show Haitian people that you truly care about them.

What’s been the biggest benefit for you personally since learning to communicate in Creole?

I am more confident in speaking with the people I live with and work with and it has helped to develop closer relationships, which is so important to me!
