Community Development


It's been almost 7 months after the terrible quake that hit Haiti.The international community and the Haitian government have been saying that they are working to help Haiti rise again. The International community is an important actor in this issue because it is the one that promised to give the money. I am wondering about the kind of economic and development system this poor nation needs because there is any good sign until now.

Do we need a system to rebuild republic of Port-au-Prince?

Do we need a Port-au-Prince with bunches of tent cities?

Do we need a system that excludes the people from the slums?

Do we need a system that excludes the youth?

Do we need a system that keeps a group of Haitians as modern slaves by receiving $ 5 US dollars a day as minimum wage?

Do we need a system that does not going to protect the people in Bainet (Southeast Haiti) who are exposed to flood that might be causing by the ocean?

Do we need a system that does not offer any possibility to help the farmers, by killing our agriculture?

Do we need a system that does not help every Haitian to be creative?

Do we need a system that does not going to build any school?

Haiti needs another system.This a new a depart for the Caribbean nation but we are starting badly. It seems we are rebuilding republic of Port-au-Prince instead of rebuilding the whole nation by developing every part of it.Haiti needs its people to be creative for the advancement of a new nation.We need millions but how do we organize the millions? The development of this country cannot be made with this rate of illiterate people. Neglecting the aspect of education in this country is a big threat for the future.

Haiti needs a system that organizes the people from the bottom to the top. Offering the youth opportunity to be creative. Helping everyone to have a voice.

We must go over another plan, deny the unsuccessful and crazy political game. Haiti does not need any imperialism system, however, It has been driving the country poorly, but there was no realization to come up with a better life for today and tomorrow. Are we going to make the same mistake?

The country does not need people who are coming and put their own will.The country does not need any come and go experts. The millions does not need to be used to accommodate people and buy fancy cars. Haiti needs a creative environment.

Haiti will rise to be a good nation!

  1. I'm not well informed enough to comment on what Haiti needs specifically, but I'm finding it interesting that these are exactly the same things that the U.S. needs now! Namely, education, creativity, a bottom-up approach to the needs of the people, and denial of the "unsuccessful and crazy political game." Yes, the involvement of all citizens is necessary for economic development, not just a political or geographical elite.
