“Professional model, and lead dancer for the group RockFam, the young Ywana Paul, passed away early this morning, following a terrible road accident at Delmas 40 b. A driver having lost control of the bus he was driving took this flower who was just starting to shine.
Faced with this loss, we are sending our sympathies to her family, her friends and colleagues from RockFam, for whom it will be difficult to fill the void that she will leave in their hearts and contributions. Adieu Ywana.” From www.Roroli.com
SAINT-MARC, Haiti - Far-reaching Tropical Storm Hanna drenched flood-plagued Haiti on Wednesday, adding to the miseries of a country that has lost 110 lives to mudslides and flooding since mid-August.
We’d like to thank everyone who watched the Labor Day parade on HaitiXchange live yesterday. Please check back as we add a lot more pictures and video of this event.
Carimi closes out the parade.
We chased down Carimi as they closed down the parade on Eastern Parkway. They were the last major Haitian float to pass by, and was the only Haitian float to make it all the way to Grand Army Plaza. They were accompanied by Boujou of Djakout Mizik and Wyclef Jean.
