Days Away


I have not posted anything on my blog for awhile.I have been receiving a lot of phone calls and emails. People really want to know how the project goes, they also want to hear news about Haiti.

I left the country last year on November 22, I am now attending college in the States by the generosity of Dr James and Jane Ebel. They are the ones who hosted me when I came to America for surgery in 2005. They did not forget me while I was in Haiti over the last 5 years. They provided me money for food and education. The Ebels believe that if they help me to obtain an education, I will be able to help my family and my country as well. I had tried twice to get a student visa, but unfortunately I was denied. I did not give up because I believe I would overcome anything that could have been an obstacle for me.

I decided to apply for a nursing degree at Black Hawk college (BHC) after being called by Rita Ledbetter (current host family) to help my friend Moise Eldor with his BHC’s application. Finally, I have been granted an F1 visa to come to U.S. for my education and I am so grateful for this opportunity. I have already completed a semester in the English as Second Language program and I am going to take a second semester which will be also my last semester in that program, then I will be taking nursing classes in spring 2012. It’s hard to leave family and friends behind, but I have to do it because they count on me. Despite I am now living in the U.S., but the project is not stopped. My older Jones brother keeps up the work.

Like I said, it’s hard to leave people you know behind. It's hard for me to leave the children in my neighborhood that I am struggling for to have education, clean water, food and medical care; but they count on me every single day. I have been through poverty and I know what it means. I miss Haiti a lot and I will eventually return to help my beloved country.

You can be a sponsor


This program is dedicated to helping the children have a better life tomorrow by going to school as the future of Haiti. Your help is greatly needed to help them to be creative every single day in their life.

The school is named Ecole Evangelique Mixte Des Freres Unis. There are currently 120 children in but their parents live on big financial problem. Therefore, they live with less than $ 2 US a day.

The cost to sponsor a kid for an year is $ 100 US. This money will be used to pay teachers and buy uniform. We want to help more children have access to attend, so the gate is opened for anybody in the neighborhood thus education is important for them as human being and also for the development of this country.

When you sponsor a kid, you will have access to connect with the kid's school work. You will receive the kid's reports and a photo of whom you sponsor. You will also be able to get mail from your child.Your mails will be translated in Creole and French then theirs in English. Visit is also allowed.Your participation will bring success and transformation to those Haitian children.

One of the biggest key that could rise Haiti from the rubbles and put it on its feet is education, thus the future of this country is in the hands of the children. Please make that difference by sharing the blessing and love of the Almighty Lord.

Please get involved! If you need more information, don't wait to let me know.Thanks! God bless you


""Please get involved to facilitate those children to go school.Education is still the biggest door that someone should open to get a better life.Haiti is having a very big problem of education.The majority of the population is illiterate because they never have possibility to go into a class room.When you think about Haiti please think about the situation of the children because they are the future of the country.
Another thing is that someone is buying some internet equipments for them.A friend of mine has been thinking about my neighborhood and offered the kids possibility to connect with the world and be updated.However, a internet room will be available for the kids.Please pray an help!""

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!

Almost six months



This is a lady from Artibonite.Her name is Magalene Beaubrun .Her daughter has a heart problem and needs operation.Haitian Hearts mission founded by Dr John Carroll in Peoria, Illinois is organizing a trip for Magalene's daughter to go to the U.S. for surgery.On my side, i have been doing my best to get passport for both Magalene and her daughter to enter to America.

She lives in a neighborhood called La Chapelle, Artibonite.She was explaining me the situation over there.Artibonite (Haitian Creole: Latibonit) is one of the ten departments of Haiti. The area is 4984 km ² and the population is more than 1,202,800 inhabitants.Artibonite is the main area of cultivation of rice for the country.

It's sad to understand the situation of the famine, whereas Artibonite is the main area of cultivation of rice for Haiti.One of the man problems that cause famine is the lack of resources that the farmers have.Nowadays, Haiti does not provide enough food from the land for the population.Millions of dollars spend every year to buy food from other countries, and the people can't afford to buy it every day.

We had a significant conversation about her area.Artibonite was also hit by the January 12 earthquake which killed more than 200000 people.
The people don't have enough to eat, most of the houses were damaged and destroyed.Magalene said no aid has not reach them yet but we know that a lot of money was given for this country and it's been almost 6 months since the country hit by a big earthquake.The people use sheets to make their small place to sleep.Magalene and her family do not have a good house to stay.Her father is suffering with prostate and very ill now.I gave Magalene that tent above to sleep with her family.She has six children but the tent has a capacity to hold four people.I am sorry and sad to know that the tent will not be able to fit all of her family.

My heart is touched to go there and visit.I'd like to learn about the farmers and the gardens.
Haiti is sick from head to toes.The Haitians families are suffering every where over the land.Your help is needed, and you are blessed to contribute in the development projects of this poor nation.
Many zones are affected by the earthquake.Please pray and help Haiti!
