Hi Sis,
On this special day
where we are reminded of our roots,
I realize again
that it has been 4 generations or more,
since our ancestors landed here
on this beautiful country,
which we now call our home.
They left their country, families and memories
far behind them,
some consciously
and others unconsciously,
but as many
none of them most probably,
ever planned on staying here.

Whatever the reasons were
why they never left,
we for sure are blessed by their decision.
One side of the story
is that we have inherited something unique,
including the language and the clothes
and other traditional customs,
thereby contributing
to the already rich Surinamese...
