Bòn fèt, Ayiti cheri! I wish for you that this year will be the year in which your people's hopes and dreams finally come true; the year in which a new age of material, political and spiritual well-being finally dawns; and the year in which the women and men who call you "mama" will be able to rest from their endless efforts at "beating water to make butter" and eat from your beautiful hands the bounties they so have so long deserved.
