What's a Koumbit?

A koumbit [\koom-beet\] in Haitian Creole is a group of people that get together to accomplish a common goal. It is often used to refer to a group of farmers that take turns collectively working a day on each others' land. In this way they are able to accomplish large projects in a day's time, the only compensation being a meal and the understanding that the whole group will come to help you when your own farm needs work.
