I JUST READ YOUR POST ON HAITI INNOVATION ABOUT THE INTEREST TO DO SOME VOLUNTEER WORK IN A HAITI SAFELY. THE FEELING IS MUTUAL :-)

FIRST, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST TO HELP IN HAITI!

I LIVE IN THE US-NEW YORK. I AM JUST IN THE DEBUT OF A PROJECT TO FACILITATE BASIC HUMAN NEEDS AND EDUCATION FOR POOREST CHILDREN AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES SO THE ADULTS CAN CARE BETTER FOR THEIR FAMILY AND REALIZE DREAMS OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY.

________________________
THE FIRST ONE WILL BE IN CAP-HAITEN. I WAS THERE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE REGION IS VERY NICE AND CALM. I'M NOT FROM THERE BUT THIS MATTER'S LESS.... WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT I/ WE HAVE PEOPLE IN OUR CIRCLE THAT WE CAN TRUST AND THAT SHARE THE DRIVE, THE DESIRE AND GENUINENESS TO BRING COMMUNITY AND CARE TOGETHER FOR CHILDREN!
__________________________
THE FOUNDATION IS CALLED AMI SOLEIL. WEB SITE IS PENDING. WE, TAKE ZERO $PAY SO 100% GOES TO PROJECTS EXECUTION. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE HELP GETS EXECUTED AND THE RIGHT WAY SO THOSE CHILDREN HAVE A REAL CHANCE TO ESCAPE THE DEAD END POVERTY IN HAITI AND TO BECOME BETTER LEADERS.

MY UNCLE HAS A DESCENT HOME THERE ( SO YOU WOULD HAVE A PLACE TO STAY UNTIL THE FOUNDATION HAS ITS OWN SPACE FOR GUEST VOLUNTEERS, IN 2009 ) AND HELP S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN HIS AREA BY CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND SO ON. AS A CIVIL ENGINEER HE HAS EXPERIENCE IN BUILDING ROADS, BOAT MARINAS BUT HAVE BEEN FOCUSING ON SOME VACATION HOMES- BUNGALOWS PROJECTS FOR SOME EUROPEANS THAT STILL LOVES THAT CORNER SECRET HIDEAWAY; WHICH IS ALMOST VIRGIN, WITH EXOTIC TREES AND A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE OCEAN .

I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU AND ALL INTERESTED PARTIES AND DISCUSS THE TOPIC OF HELPING IN HAITI SAFELY AND HAVE SOME FUN DISCOVERING PLACES AND LEARNING FROM THEM, IN THE PROCESS.

YOURS,

NADIA :-)

In terms of having an impact to an organization, it may be best to send money. Any of our partners would benefit from your financial support. But in terms of experiencing the country, developing a connection, and being able to better articulate its needs, go there. Maybe you could work with an orphanage such as St. Josephs in Port au Prince. You can also stay there, so you are supporting the activity and learning about the country at the same time. If you have some extra time, travel around a bit, spend some money, support the economy. In terms of safety, you may feel more comfortable going with others your first time. Depends on you.

you sound very promising
are you doing anything to help?

I would love to get involved in one of these organizations to help people in Haiti.
I'm living in the United State and willing to expend some vacation time helping others.

Please if someone knows about any organization or mission in Haiti contact me.

all I ask for is to be in a safe area and room & board. I dont need to be paid a salary.

Thanks and remember you can also make a difference.

Halp halp and halp for haiti

Pride is a sin. We should not be so proud as to not accept the help of those who would offer it. By separating ourselves from others we make it harder for others to provide the empathy and support we need. No man, or country can exist in isolation. Dependence on other countries is a fact realized by the most powerful countries in the world. We are one world; one community; one people all in favor of basic human rights and securities. Abandon your pride because it will not serve you or your country.

I hope Chavez will honor his pledge, because Haiti has enough of those broken promises. Compliment to the creator of this website. Nicely done.

Sak Pase! I would like to compliment the person or the group of people behind this website, it's great. I think your work is commendable and honorable. I never imagine there was such site out there dedicated to Haiti and for Haitians. I admire everything though we are very often small and underbudgeted, but we come out clean and professional. Thumbs up guys!!!

Reports are stating that Preval had planned a full days worth of events for Chavez. However, Chavez arrived four hours late, leaving Preval at the airport waiting. This greatly reduced the schedule of what they were able to accomplish. Then Chavez left late, making Preval wait at the airport. My experience has been that, in Haiti, schedules are only suggestions.

On behalf of the Association of Scottish Stillwater Fisheries A.S.S.F. I find it shameful that we are brought in to this debate. However being a Scot I never run from a fight. And I say damn that Chavez better give those Tahitians his oily pride and dignity however they chose to take it! If not me and my kilted band of brothers will happily do it to them.

At least we out of all people knows theat the president CHavez, will, to a certain degree honor any promess made to the people of Haiti. Unlike those who pledged funding to many of our problems and ask that our our people to bind over and take it in the a.s.s. F..... all of them! Look what we have become, a nation that is so full of life, and this is how low we got. I thank that we have to take a look at what put us into this situation and fix it as soon as we can. No amount of money (bis) will change the contry. We must, all "Haitien" must take back our pride and face our own future ourselves. Put it this way no one can love you or care about you more than you do. It is a lay when they whant us to beleive the can solve our problems. insted, they want whatever is left in us: pride and dignity. Don't let them take these away from us. These are the things that makes us who we are. The only chance to a better future. Remember that we are what we are... "haiti for life". "libete ou lanmo"
