Link of the Day
Every day, we will showcase a website, a set of webpages, an online document, or a piece of information about Haiti, that we deem worthy of consideration.
It can be one of our favorites destinations on the web, specially those outstanding Haitian sites. ‘Bagay Lakay’ will maintain an up-to-date list of all major Haitian websites and other web resources related to Haiti and Haitians. We will particularly include dead or dying Haitian sites we would like to revive or make over.
Some links will point to charitable organizations actively working in our country. Others will link to websites dealing with Graphic Design, Web Technologies, Hobbies, etc. They can also be just the links to our newest designs.
Please, provide us with similar links, and help us build a gallery of outstanding online destinations for the the Haitian Web Surfer, or anybody else interested in Haitian Affairs, Culture or History.

Gen de fwa ou konn wè on moun chita pou kont li on kote, epi li fè on ti souri, osnon li pete on sèl eklari. Ou ka konprann se on atak foli l ap fè—“Foli pran moun tout jan”, se sa nou di—men se on souvni k ap satiyèt lespri li. On souvni, si l ta pataje l avèk ou, ou menm tou, ou ta pete pwòp eklari pa ou, paske souvni sa a, ta bay machin memwa pa ou on kout mannivèl, fè l pati tankou on chen fou ki te chita nan on nich fonmi, osnon on chwal galipòt k ap boulinen nan gran savann, apre li fin plen pans li… Fò ou konn la pou ou al la, Timal!
