Yolantha Harrison Pace aka Mama Haiti
One of the singers and writers of "Rebuild the Children"
The other young man performing the song "Rebuild the Children"
Originally I was to go to Haiti and work with some youth in the city of Cape Haitia and do a literacy and the performing arts workshop.
We were planning to do poetry, painting, music and dance together as a means for expressing to the world their pain and healing process regarding the earthquake of January 12, 2010 and now the horrible cholera epidemic.
When I reached Miami on my way to Haiti I received a phone call saying that it was too risky for me to come due to the mass revolt that was taking place in Cape Haitia over the source of the cholera outbreak. But I opted to make the trip to Haiti in the event that the revolt subsided within a day or two of my arrival.
Unfortunately it did not. So for safety sake I was rerouted to the mountain village of Ranquitte, Haiti.
Where I fed the crippled and handicapped, fed children, dispensed vitamins and fig newtons, granola bars and aspirin. I kept in touch with the status of Cape Haitia, but to no avail, the city was shut down from the massive revolt. However 2 young brothers ages 16 and 19, were not to be deterred in their artistic endeavors on my behalf.
They had written a song called REBUILD THE CHILDREN, named after my campaign. A song they were determined for me to have. They hired a courier to come the 53 miles to deliver the song to me. A song that is the voice of hope from the youth of Haiti who have suffered the destruction of the earthquake and now the devastating catastrophy of the cholera epidemic. A song that must be heard. A song of better days for children and grownups all over the world...Mama Haiti aka Yolantha Harrison-Pace
