Dlo se lavi

This is the kind of life that millions of people live every day in Haiti.The main problems which have been spreading here are Education, famine, lack of medical care, and water.

Water has become a major problem across the country.The majority of homes don't have water pipe, and the water that they consume is not even pure.The availability of water depends on two ways: first, a walk of a couple of minutes or hours, second, we should pay for it.How can we image this fact? "buying of water" in this country however about 70% of the people live with less than $ 2 U.S by day.
The pictures above show how the situation is in my area, and it is the same for the whole country.Such problem makes life very difficult for the Haitian people.Life is getting more vulnerable.
On the other hand, the water that the population is consuming is not clean.Many children are dying by different diseases such as diarrhea cause of unclean water .

Until now i am thinking about the future of this country, the future of the children.I have hope, my country can become a country of opportunities, opportunities that do not bring boat people anymore but it requires HELPS.Poverty reigns every day in this country.A new Haiti is POSSIBLE!

Is she in the Modern World?

I took this picture last June, it is a picture of little trade that was running by Eveline. She’s an 11 year old girl living in my area. I had some talk with her during last June especially the day that I took the picture. Eveline is one of the children who lives in poverty every day, and she’s like other children who don’t have access of education.
She is growing up in family of 8 children and she is the youngest. Her mother sells mangoes and avocados especially when their season is on.Eveline was taking over the commerce when her mother couldn’t sit along the street to sell.

Eveline did not go to school during last academic year. She sits along the street selling mangoes. She told me school is important but due to lack of possibility that her mother has, she can’t attend school. For this new academic year, nothing does not change for Eveline and even for other children in my area. Eveline is not going to school for this new academic year. She can’t not read and write. Education is the biggest matter that can change Haiti. Many children don’t go to school while this world has lots of resources. Is it fair to talk about GLOBALIZATION, DEMOCRACY, and TECHNOLOGY in this kind of life?

Those children are growing up meantime they can’t read and write. They don’t even have the basic education to overcome certain thing. We all know that education makes life better and it helps us to take decision for our lives. In other words, Education is development. I remember I asked Eveline if she had opportunity to go school what would she like to be? She replied “I’d like to be someone who works in hospital or clinic, I said doctor or nurse, oh doctor she said.

I want to ask a question here, why Eveline’s dream can’t remain? Her dream would be important for Haiti and for the world in the next years. Eveline is not going to be only a citizen of Haiti but a citizen of the world. Every child has a dream in this country but this dream is far to realize .
I have done an overview concerning how many children who have access to school this year in my area, it was done during last week after the opening day. The situation remains the same. NO SCHOOL!

I want to start a program that could help the children with their education in my area. I call this program “ HELP DREAMS”. I am asking everyone here to do something that could help those children finding their dream. Before ending this post I want to be thankful to Dr John and Maria Carroll, Dr James and Jane Ebel and Helen Quade. Please feel free to contact me, hopeful to hear from you soon for this program. The children need you.


EDUCATION CAN CHANGE THEIR LIVES!

It’s not impossible, it is possible when they get opportunity.

Change

A new Haiti is possible. It is possible when the children have WATER to drink, FOOD to eat, EDUCATION and MEDICAL CARE.I am calling EVERYONE.Let's take part in this work.

Globalisation

Haiti Education

This post bellow was written by my brother Michelet. It talks about the reopening of schools in Haiti, which is going to be impossible for many students to attend due to lack of possibility that their parents don't have.My brother and i always think about what we can bring to our society.He's a student at the public law school.He wrote it in French.

Haïti éducation

Le lundi 7 septembre 2009 c’est le jour choisi par le ministre de l’Education Nationale et de la Formation Professionnelle (MENFP) pour la réouverture des classes.

C’est une date très mal choisie d’après nombreux parents haïtiens. Pour certains ils ne sont pas encore prêt, pour d’autres ils ne seront pas toujours prêt pour cette réouverture. Car, c’est toujours un casse-tête des qu’il s’agit de la réouverture des classes. Considérant le taux de chômage qui est très élevé et les fournitures classiques qui sont très chers, ils sont toujours dans l’impossibilité d’envoyer leurs enfants à l’école.

La dernière goutte d’eau qui vient de renverser le vase c’est le prix des produits pétroliers qui est augmenté à quelques jours de la réouverture des classes. Et, il ya des fonctionnaires de l’état qui plaignent de n’avoir pas reçu le salaire pour le quatorzième ( 14eme ) mois, une question qui fait de grands débats tant au niveau du parlement haïtien et au niveau de la presse. L’Etat haïtien ne dit rien jusqu'à présent. S’il y en a !

D’après certains parents c’est une réouverture qui est dans le noir.Le grand enjeu pour le pays c’est qu’il ya des enfants qui fréquentaient une institution scolaire qui, maintenant sont obligés d’abandonner faute de moyen économique de leurs parents qui ne peut pas répondre aux exigences faites par l’institution, une situation très délicat pour le pays.
Et pour ceux qui ont la chance de terminer leurs études classiques ou irons-ils après ? A l’université ?
Aucune autorité de l’état haïtien ne peut pas répondre à cette question, car toutes les villes de provinces n’ont un centre universitaire.

La question qu’on doit se poser : Quand est ce que l’éducation sera une affaire de tout le monde en Haïti ?
Donc, ou est l’avenir du pays ?

Make a better place for them

The children should deserve your attention.

The Haitian kids are calling you

The purpose of this message is to make a petition to the world for action in Haiti.I am going to relate something which is very important about the neighborhood that i live in.


There are about 2000 people who live here in this block.Life is tremendously vulnerable.The financial situation of them is dire,The rate of the children who have opportunity to attend school is also low.Many diseases are frequent and appear daily such as Malaria, Malnutrition, Glaucoma, Polio, Diarrhea, etc.The access of water is scarce. Everyone has to walk about an hour to get water.During that walk, you would see most of the children are bare feet, dirty, and waiting to beg people.They stand along the street from the sun rise to the sun set.They belong to poor families, and most of them live alone with their mothers without the presence of their fathers.


The worst thing for them is the access that they don't have to get education.I am realizing they are generally alone while no one does nothing to get them out of the the streets.Those children are the next generation, but what kind of generation Haiti is going to have? will it be a generation of uneducated, hungry, and sickness people? You reader, those children need you.


I have learned about a division from Dr John for a new Haiti.It says if we divide everything in everywhere, on the other hand things will get better.This division concerns education, medical care, water, security, then poverty, and they will be gone away. I think, Schools, hospitals and water are the main matters that could take those children out of the street and poverty in this area.I am calling you my dear readers for a volunteer mission here in this block.Like i said above, they need you. An effort can change the situation of their lives and put them in a better place.


A new Haiti is possible.It is possible when the condition of thousands children change.Please bring your help to them in order to reduce their suffering.If you have any question, please don't hesitate to let me know.The children need you.
