Manno Charlemagne - Manman

Kreyòl
Chak pèp chwazi yon moman pou onore Manman yo ki jwe yon wòl enpòtan nan sosyete a sitou nan domenn edikasyon.

Jounen dimanch 31 sa an Ayiti se fèt manman. Kontrèman ak pèp ameriken-an ki fete manman nan dezyèm dimanch mwa me. An Ayiti se dènye dimanch mwa youn nan pi gwo senbòl pou konnen fèt manman se ti panye flè moun ap vann tout kote ak diferan koulè, pou tache sou rad nou, ke yo rele Flè dè Mè.

Gen Flè dè Mè woz ou wouj ki senbolize manman nou vivan e Flè dè Mè blanch ou mov ki senbolize manman nou mouri. Nou menm nan HaitiXchange, nou salye tout manman Ayisyèn e di yo yon gwo kout chapo pou yo, manman pòv kou manman rich, manman nwa kou manman blanch, pou nou di yon bòn fèt ak tout Manman Ayisyèn.

All people choose a time to honor their mothers who play such an important role in society.

May 31st is Mother’s Day in Haiti. Unlike Americans who celebrate it during the second week of May, Haitians always celebrate on the last Sunday of the month. One of the most important symbols which lets people know it is Mother’s Day are little baskets of flowers (known as Mothers’ Flowers) which are for sale everywhere and come in various colors and are to be pinned on clothing.

Rose or red flowers mean your mom is alive. White or purple flowers mean your mother has passed. We at HaitiXchange take our hats off to all Haitian mothers, rich and poor, white and black, and wish them all a Happy Mother’s Day.
