Learning Haitian Creole

“Hello non mwen se Alejandro ak mwen se yon konseye nan Espwa”*

Interesting piece on loan officer Alejandro, who works for Esperanza InternationalHOPE’s partner in the Dominican Republic. Alejandro is learning Haitian Creole so he can build stronger relationships with the many loan associates of Haitian descent.

I got to know Alejandro last month when I worked in San Pedro de Macoris, and actually saw his Creole in action – I thought he was fluent!

*Translation: “Hi, my name is Alejandro and I’m an Esperanza loan officer.”
