Chile earthquake brings double nightmare for HaitiansOut of frying pan... Posted by DaveH at March 4, 2010 6:38 PM
The Desarmes family from Haiti will never forget the earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince in January.
And they will never forget the earthquake that hit Chile last Saturday.
Because they lived through both.
When Haiti suffered its huge loss of life and widespread destruction nearly two months ago, the first thought of Pierre Desarmes, a Haitian singer based in Chile with his group Reggaeton Boys, was to get his family to safety.
He managed to bring his father, Joseph, mother Jeanelia Pierre, his brothers Quinchy and Stanley, Stanley's young daughter Standerly Nelia to Chile, along with four other Haitian nationals.
