Haiti youth sing and dance
Related to country: Haiti

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

A special thanks for visiting my blog and for your interest in Haiti. There's something we're really excited about and we think you'll understand why when you look at this 3-minute video (which was done by John and is very unprofessional) of young Haitians in our neighborhood singing and dancing:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2xHxPwH_Lc

We recently celebrated one and a half years since this group got started. They are thriving. And Director Alex Myril and Dance Teacher Christela Calixte are doing a fantastic job. Those who know the history know full well of our slow and rocky start.

In addition to discovering their talents in singing and dancing, these youth also use the participatory learning and leadership methods promoted by Beyond Borders' Circles of Change (www.circlesofchange.com) and Living Words programs. They are future leaders!

We have a rudimentary website that has history, reports and links to earlier videos at www.haitichildrenschoir.org

A very special thanks to Bob Hadley. Without him this wonderful initiative would not have happened. Also, the guidance of professional choral directors Kayla Werlin and Wayne Abercrombie has been invaluable. In fact, assuming Director Alex Myril is granted a visa, he will travel to Massachusetts end of September to be with Kayla and Wayne to expand his knowledge.

With gratitude and excitement,

john

(francais en desous)

Friends and colleagues;

Here, downloadable, is the version of "Circles of Change: a quiet revolution in Haiti" with French subtitles.

https://rcpt.yousendit.com/597461491/76ddf496236d33d106ddfabd167c4201

It's 19 minutes long and in very good resolution. It's a large file (1,100 mb) and will require some time to download even with a high-speed internet connection. We have many DVD's of English subtitle version and have also distributed in Haiti many of the Haitian-Creole version, which has no subtitles.

We've received a number of requests in recent months for this French version and we're delighted to make it available in downloadable form. Perhaps you know of individuals and/or organizations in French speaking Canada or French speaking African countries who might appreciate viewing this. Please feel free to share the download link with anyone who might be interested.

Let me know if you have problems downloading, have questions, or if you would like to receive a DVD of this version. My cell number is 202-236-6532 and my email is john@johnengle.net.

Kind regards,

John Engle

Il est 19 minutes et en très bonne résolution. C'est un gros fichier (1100 megabytes) et il faudra un certain temps à télécharger, même avec une connexion Internet highspeed.
