The episode photo is in the Bluntschli home at the N a Sonje Foundation center in Gwo Jan with Yaya in the back far left with children from the local youth organization along with our 2 grandchildren in the mix.
Here are some of the links I refer to in the episode:

Yaya and I making a fundraiser for our "choukoun" or meeting house gazebo in the middle of the N a Sonje Foundation center.
To visit the site of the school, LKM where Yaya is curerently employed.
And just to see the area of Gwo Jan in relation to Port-au-Prince on this internet map.
Of course credits to our songwriter Mona Augustin and band 2 Rasin for the song "N a Sonje" with the English translation below here and music video of UN award winning song "Women".

And our Etsy shop showcasing Najee's original art for sale and remember our listener support button to keep our friends and colleagues alive during this brutal time!
Here's the English translation of the theme song, "N a Sonje"
"We will remember, and not forget what happened
Let’s take a look back Into the world gone by and we’ll see
How our ancestors were in Africa before they carried us away to America
Ref: Sing for Africa, Sing for America Honor for Africa, Honor for America
Who lost so many in the years long ago it wasn’t the natives of this land that did that to them
It was another nation who had as their mission to make others slaves, making so many cadavers
Pillaging, killing - Indians and Africans in making them work for nothing
This is how their countries became powerful by spilling so much blood.
Ref: Sing for Africa, Sing for America Honor for Africa, Honor for America
Who lost so many in the years long ago"
