Louisket Edmond, a French Master of Arts in Teaching Alumni publishes book The Tears of Haiti

Barkhamsted, Connecticut author Louisket Edmond, a native of Haiti, looks back at the land he loves and chronicles his unforgettable journey through two cultures.  Released through Xlibris, his book, The Tears of Haiti, offers an in-depth look into the culture and lifestyle that have yet to be revived after a devastating catastrophe destroyed much of its infrastructure.  On January 12, 2010, a powerful earthquake hit the island of Hispaniola. This calamity killed an estimated 300,000 people and had injured millions of others.  The Tears of Haiti reminds readers of this fact and raises an invitation for expressing compassion and help in any way one can, including prayers.

Mr. Edmond currently teaches French and Spanish at Northwestern Regional #7 High School.   He received his BA in Spanish and French literature from Temple University and earned a teaching assistantship at the University of Maine in Orono, where he completed a Master’s degree in teaching French.  Knowing the priceless value of education, he has made it his mission to help the people of his homeland, especially all the children left without schools.  Thirty percent (30%) of the book sales will be used to build schools for the street children in Haiti and another thirty percent (30%) will be donated to Mr. Edmond’s parents and family members in Haiti.
