Here is a partial list of people who have given their time and energy for this project:
Jean Wisnel Bastia - From Hinche, Haiti, lives in the Atlanta area and graduated from Clayton State University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Management and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Wisnel, as he is known by his friends, has been an invaluable partner, lyricist, narrator, actor, musician, Creole teacher, cultural resource, and all-around "right hand man." Without his help, this project would have little chance of success.
