Brush up on your Creole

A message from the Hesperian Foundation:

Hesperian has assembled a Haiti Health Information wiki http://creole.hesperian.net/ on which, along with free downloads of emergency health materials in Creole, they have posted free downloads of Hesperian and MEDICC’s Health for All: 4-Language Glossary of Community Health Care Terms (Creole-Spanish-English-French). The glossary contains more than 4,000 entries and it is especially to anyone working in Haiti, since Creole is the most widely-spoken language there; Haitian medics are often instructed in Spanish; Haitian clinical records are written in French; and many volunteers speak English.

If you have adapted Hesperian materials for Haiti to produce flyers, pamphlets, posters, or books with different content or illustrations, please contact tawnia (at) hesperian.org so Hesperian may share them on the wiki. Those interested in contributing terms to Health for All: 4-Language Glossary of Community Health Care Terms (Creole-Spanish-English-French), can post a note under the "discussion" tab.
