Haiti in our hearts

Why Haiti hurts so much? How much pain can a nation resist? It is extremely painful for me to watch how Haiti goes through this devastation. I also see how the goodwill of people from all over the world, as always occurs in circumstances like these, manifests showing the goodness of human beings. I also watch people judging Haiti for not being a progressive nation. Beyond all those sociological, historical and political “reasons”, the fact is that Haiti needs, besides material help, healing thoughts from all of us. Those images of resilient people, children and adults able to smile despite the fact they don't have anybody to care for them is, in my eyes, one of best expressions of strength. Let's help them heal and believe in themselves. I believe there is future for Haiti. It is collective that won’t surrender.
Being the mother of two, I feel powerless seeing those scenes of children who have lost their parents and entire families. I wish I had the resources to take many of those children under my umbrella. Something I can say is, I wish those people who have the possibility rethink of the possibility of adopting a child, and if not, at least help to raise them in the respectful institutions that operate in the island. Finding the right institution and sponsoring a child will give the joy you ever experienced.

¿Fue o fueron?, ¿viniste o veniste?

¿Fue o Fueron?

Many times natives use these two conjugations wrongly. It makes me doubt, so I am bringing it up for those who are in the same situation. First of all, let’s say they are the Simple Past Perfect of the Verb “IR” (To GO), Indicative Mode.

Son simplemente conjugaciones del Pretérito Perfecto Simple del Verbo IR, Modo Indicativo.

Yo fui
Tu fuiste
El fue
Nosotros fuimos
Vosotros fuisteis
Ellos fueron
Ustedes fueron

Hoy fuimos al parque en la mañana. Fue un día increíble.
Los comentarios que hiciste en la cena no fueron nada agradables.


¿Viniste o Veniste?

A menudo escucho a la gente usar veniste en lugar de viniste cuando hablan en pasado simple. He aquí un refrescamiento de la conjugación.

Verbo Venir (Pretérito Perfecto Simple-Modo Indicativo)

Yo vine
Tu viniste
El vino
Nosotros vinimos
Ellos vinieron
Vosotros vinisteis
Ustedes vinieron
