Homage to Madan Saras, Potomitan, Pillars of Haiti's economy

All Parents Want Their Kids to Do Well in Life. They want them to succeed. Just like the migratory birds of Haiti that travel far and beyond to find foods to bring back to their nest, female Haitian merchants commonly known as Madan Sara are the main distributors of crops and the true link between farmers in the provinces and consumers in the major cities and capital, Port-au-Prince. If Madan Sara do not up to the mountains to establish their network with the food producers, farmers, and transporters, then the city dwellers will not find anything to eat. Yet, the educated consumers of the cities do not respect them and tend to look down on them.

Vocabulary:

Machann pakoti = junk dealers

Madan Sara - migratory birds or female Haitian merchants and street vendors.

Good News for LA Sidewalk Vendors or Street Vendors

Los Angeles sidewalk vendors no longer have to worry about trying to make ends meet on the streets or side walk of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to decriminalize street vending. Immigrant advocates have long been fighting and arguing that sidewalk sellers should not face criminal charges that could place them at risk of being deported. Most of the street vendors are immigrants who had a long history of selling on the streets in their home country. They are willing to pay fees and taxes for the opportunity to be able to sell their merchandise.

Finally, the LA City Council agreed that vending should not be seen as a criminal act. Selling food and goods used to lead to misdemeanor charges that would place those sellers in jeopardy in case of a potential crackdown by the current government. City staffers will work out the details regarding the application for vending permits and fees. Until the staffers come up with a plan, the vendors may still be cited and fined for breaking the municipal code. The only difference is that there will not be any criminal convictions.
