    Viv ak yon maladi ki p ap janm geri

    Kijan w t ap reyaji si w ta vin gon maladi ki p ap janm geri ? Ou tap santi w kondane oswa ou t ap kontinye viv a fon pandan w ap pwofite de chak moman ou gen chans viv ? Envite nou semenn sa, Watson Saintil, deside viv lavi li a fon epi goumen pou reyalize rèv li. Watson se yon jèn gason 29 lane ki depi 19 lane ap viv ak yon maladi, polyarthrite rhumatoïde, ki detanzantan ap defòme kò l epi redui kapasite li pou l fonksyone. Depi lè l gen 10 lane l ap soufri ak maladi sa e depi lè sa lavi l se yon konba kotidyen kont yon maladi ki p ap janm geri men malgre tout sa Watson pa dekouraje e li kontinye lite pou l reyalize vi l, reyalize tèt li epi vin moun ke l swete ye a. Watson se yon jèn gason ki gen anpil kouraj ak detèminasyon. Nan lane 2010 Watson fè yon operasyon kote yo mete yon pwotèz nan kòl ki te dwe dire 10 lane. Jodia Watson bezwen opere pou mete yon nouvo pwotèz men lajan an anpil. Jodia l ap mande nou èd nou e li espere sipò nou pou sove lavi l. Our guest this week sits down with us for a second time. You may remember him from season one in an episode titled "Maladi m nan paka geri”, in which he educated many about a rare chronic disease, rheumatoid polyarthritis affecting the joints and the mobility of the individual. Watson Saintil, now 29, was diagnosed when he was around 10 and ever since, it's been a daily battle that brought about many complications, including a skin disorder called psoriasis. While his spirit is still on the upbeat and his zeal for life, unwavering, he comes to us with yet another challenge... In the year of 2010, Watson underwent a pelvic replacement surgery during which a prosthetic which could only last 10 years was put in place. Today, Watson needs a new prosthetic and the cost of even the most affordable one is far beyond his means. He hopes that his plea will be a cry to your generosity.

    M pat panse m te ka viv ak yon sèl tete

    Time and again, the Haitian proverb, "maladi pa tonbe sou pye bwa, maladi tonbe sou kretyen vivan" have been quoted. This literally translates as diseases fall not on trees but on human being and is saying in essence that sickness does not discriminate. It knows no social status and can affect anyone. Our guest this week is one of the many pink ribbon thrives who graciously shares the many challenges she had to face on her journey with the disease. She is a mother and a wife and works in the social services. She explains how, on the other side of her ordeal which included a unilateral mastectomy she was able to find the true meaning of life.

    Eksklizyon ; vrè pwoblèm yon andikape an Ayiti

    This week, Koze avè m sits down with Soinette Désir, woman right activist, tailor and cook among other things. Growing up, Soinette was full of life, engaging in farming with her family and always dreaming to own lots of lands. And one day, what started as a fever while attending a funeral will be the cause of a year long hospital stay and a complete change in the course of her life. Aside from having to adapt to societal stigma, Soinette also needed to adapt to environments where people with disabilities are not always accommodated; she recalls choosing to miss lunch everyday at school because the lunchroom and the restroom are on different floors thus making it difficult to have access to the lavatory after her meal. Today as an activist, she sheds lights over the living condition of people with disabilities in Haiti with a very contagious positive attitude and zeal for life.

    Konvèsasyon ak Jean Bernard Thomas sou arestasyon li an 2013

    The principle of presumption of innocence explains that until one can be proven guilty, one must be considered innocent under the law. But our guest recalls his verdict being confirmed as guilty, even before appearing before a judge. Painter, guitarist, musician Jean Bernard Thomas is an artist that wears many hats. His compositions have rotated around many radios around the country and around the world. But being a well-known and celebrated artist didn't prevent him from coming face-to-face with injustice. Despite being a public personality, Jean Bernard Thomas remains a man of the people; very down to earth and approachable by all. One night, while conducting a painting workshop and going about his regular music activities, he heard violent and persistent banging at his front gate. It was the local police forcing their way into the artist's home without a warrant and after 6 pm, time after which one cannot be arrested unless if caught in the act. Shockingly, Mr. Thomas learned that he was linked to a case of kidnapping that he knew nothing about. And while all they found was weed, he, along with other friends and artists who were present, was taken into custody and spent the next two months behind bars. In our talk this week, Mr. Thomas took time to not only share about his experience as an inmate which was really an opportunity to grow, mature and birth new music, but also to shed light on the living condition of other inmates at the national penitentiary in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

    M genyen konba m kont lanmò

    ... and what if one day, you wake up and all that was routine becomes foreign? For our guest this week, this was not the narration of a novel or another horror movie on a Friday night. It was reality. Celebrated guitarist and founding member of the group Strings, the dexterity of his fingers can be remembered as background music for the always anticipated summer pageant competition Miss Videomax. Influenced by Latin and Haitian style, his music was appreciated by audiences around the globe. All was well when he noticed that his hearing was declining. Randomly over the radio, he overheard that one of the signs of a brain tumor is hearing loss. He saw fit to bring it to the attention of his physician who ordered an MRI scan and that is when the news hit him that he indeed had a 10 centimeters growth in his brain and that time was running out. With faith and the support of family and friends, he took the necessary steps and 17 hours later, he was out of the surgery room with a stitched skull, all strapped up and completely disfigured. But the cherry on top of this whole ordeal was when he found out that what he mastered and was celebrated for; his ability to make a guitar speak became completely foreign to him. Just like a new born, he needed to learn once again all the genesis of life. But because his will to take full advantage of this second ticket to life was much stronger than all aspects his disability, he took all the steps towards his recovery, one day at a time, one step in from of the other. And upon returning on stage, the support of his fans did not fail to confirm to him that his hard work was not in vain. He reminds all not to take another second for granted and that tomorrow is only a bet.

    Yon dezyèm chans nan lavi koute m yon bra

    Tranbleman tè 12 janvier 2010 se yon eksperyans anpil nan nou Ayisyen afekte pa li. Menm si moman sa pa afekte nou tout menm jan se youn nan eksperyans ke anpil nan nou gen “en commun”. Samantha Junie Pierre se yon jèn fanm vanyan epi angaje ; li se yon militant pou dwa timoun ak fanm andikape. Samantha renmen lavi pase tout bagay menm si lavil pat toujou fasil. Lap viv ak yon andikap depi tranbleman tè 2010 la e depi lè sa lap eseye vanse san okipe l de rega sosyete a sou li. Samantha kwè ke diferans ak divèsite se yon bèl bagay e dapre li si yon moun pa aksepte l ak diferans li pwoblèm nan se kay moun nan li ye se pa lakay pal. • • • January 12, 2010 is inarguably a date that has left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of Haitians around the world. It only took 35 seconds to change the course of life and decide to live purposefully. Our guest this week, Samantha Junie Pierre, was going about her daily routines when tragedy hit and caused 24 hours to last 3 days. It would take 3 days to get her out of this ordeal by breaking the neighbor's wall. Pulling Samantha from under the rubble also involved a task that no one ever looks forwad to in this life; using a saw to remove the lifeless limb trapped under a gate for 3 days. Desiring to survive at all cost, Samantha even offered to take matter into her own hands. She was pulled out in one piece with her left arm in such bad shape that it would later be amputated above the elbow, one finger at a time. Now an amputee, she will face the very unsolicited yet readily available stigma that society inflicted upon her. But her zeal for life is what keeps her fire ablaze to take full advantage of this second chance. Today, she is an activist and work for an organization that provides support for people with disability.
