Let's change Haiti






When we think about the situation of Haiti. We must say things are very bad down here.
I have been thinking a lot about the vulnerability of things in this country. Misery hits the people each day.

The school project has been going on, it's in construction. Many people in the neighborhood really appreciate it. Now more than 100 hundred kids back to school and they receive one meal a day.
Education is the heart of the development of any society. We can’t develop without education thus we won't have any good corporation among the people when it is absent.
I talked with the kids, they said they were loosing hope because they did not think that they would back to school.
It is dedicated to helping the children for a better society because it can't be created without knowing how to read and write.
The school works in two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The kids are taught different subjects based on the primary education of the government of education program. We have nine teachers and they work on a monthly contract. It goes from kindergarten to 6th fundamental grade, however, it is a primary school. A lot of kids are already registered for the next academic year. My dream is to see those kids receiving a free education because their parents cannot afford to pay.

It is impossible to ask the families to pay school for their children but in the meanwhile they are sleeping under tarps and having no job. Those children should not be sent to the street to beg people, they are the future of Haiti and the world.

I remember during some years past, my mother could not afford to pay school for me. I used to stay home educating myself, but when I back here from the U.S for my heart surgery, God talked to my host family so that they paid the rest of the years of my secondary education.

I am wondering about how would I be if I did not have anybody to help me with my education by sending me to school? How would I be if I did not attend school? Maybe I would not stand for my people today; maybe I would be something else and someone else.

Education makes me another person. If I did not attend school I would not be able to start this project to relief the situation of the people, especially the children of my neighborhood.

I am here to tell you that your help is needed. Please do not hesitate to contact me to do it. Money is greatly needed to pay the teachers and also materials. Nothing won’t work without your donations.PLEASE DONATE!

Haiti is getting disappeared through the world television channels.It's like there was nothing on January 12, 2010.I am wondering why, but in the meantime, there are a couple of thousands people who live under tarps and don't have food to eat.

I visited a tent city some days ago around the capital on the aviation road close to Delmas 2 in down town Port-au-Prince.Things are hard for the people who live over there and it's the same for everywhere in the country.Haiti is like a whole sick body from head to toe.
Jail is a better place than a tent city said to me by a young man. Haiti is getting abandoned.Life gets more hard each day.

It should be remembered, things are still the same until now. Your help and your prayers are needed though!

Haiti



Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and one of the poorest countries in the world with a critical birth mortality.It is also the first black independent country with one of the beautiful histories in the world.
Haiti has many problems that make life very very difficult for it's population.The majority of the population is jobless.Education is big deal for people to have because many families cannot afford to pay school for their children.

Last January 12, 2010 an earthquake of 7.3 magnitude hit the country.Port-au-Prince and other areas like Jacmel, Leogane etc were strongly affected.Many houses were broken down and more than 200000 people died.
Three months later, nothing is changed though.Rubbles are still every were.The displaced are still living under tarps and sheets.

The prices of food have been rising up seriously.More people need medical assistance.Famine is daily affected the people especially the children.More cases of diarrhea, fever and malnutrition have been presenting in the camps and other places.
School is started since a couple of weeks but a lot of children don't have access.The access of school education is not possible for many children for two reasons.The first reason is that many schools were destroyed completely, the second one is that the families can't afford to provide access to their children by paying.

The economic system of Haiti has many problems.The national production is not enough to nourished the people in the country.The farmers don't have access of tools to prepare the gardens and agriculture's credits are not provided.
The possibilities of technology of communication is scarce.Education as big point of development is not easily to be reached by the people.

The biggest sort of people who are affected the most are the children.They are hungry, having no good place to sleep, having no opportunity to attend school and water to drink.I am wondering about this following question, can we talk about technology, human rights, capitalism of affairs?

Education should be the point number one.It will help the people to be able to take decision in every matter of this country.
The rebuilding of Haiti should be made by the Haitians, they should be active in every subjects.The biggest key role should be played by them.

We are approching closely to the rainy season.The people are getting deeply worried.The country is currently starting from scratch after a long period of political and economic crazy work.

It's sensitive for the world to give an eye of great support on Haiti thus it's has been rarely presenting throughout the news across the news.

The Haitians are strong people.Haiti needs the world!
