Conversation with a Haitian Man

Right now at my site the coffee harvest is going and there are a lot of Haitian migrant workers. They are some of the kindest people I have ever met in my life. The other day I had a conversation with one of them, although it was quite limited since my Spanish is still rusty. I was able to get bits and pieces of what he was saying, and what he said has really stuck with me.

He said that there are so many different kinds of people in the world, Haitian, Domincan, African, American, Asian, etc., but that when it comes down to it we are all the same because we all share the same blood. He is seriously one of the nicest, friendliest people I have met in my life. Whether he is on his way back from getting water or coming back from a long day of picking coffee, he always has a smile on his face. I was thinking about it for a long time and I can´t help but think how what he said is so true. We may have different skin color, but we are all human beings when it comes down to it.
