Scope and content
Born in Haiti, Mr. Sylvain moved to Port-au-Prince when he was seven. At twelve, his family relocated to his hometown. However, the school in his small home town was overcrowded and he was sent back to school in Port-au-Prince the following year. There was often a lot of political unrest in Haiti, prompting many to relocate to the United States. Mr. Sylvain became a teacher and engaged in politics, gaining a number of political enemies. Soon after, he moved to the United States where he now lives with his wife and children.
