 I don't know President Preval, I've never met the guy but I will tell you this...
Right now, I don't want to be in his shoes.
As matter of fact I don't event think I want to be the president of Haiti right now.
Everybody is upset in Haiti because of "La Vi Chè" and everyone wants President Rene Preval to waive his magic wand and make it disappear.
In the history of mankind there was once a man who fed a whole lot of people with just one fish and one piece of bread but that man is long gone...
He died and went back to heaven
I don't believe such a miracle happened since.
The people of Haiti made their point, "La Vie" in Haiti "Coute Trè Cher".
I believe the president and his staff got the message.
We should all sit back, relax, and give the guy a few months to come up with solutions.
Men-m si se mayi Preval al plante nan mòn Mamlad pou li bay pep la manje, they still have to wait for "2 Mwa" for it to be ready.
I think Preval is a cool guy, I think he is an honest man...
He got the message... Now give him some time!
I am Woodring Saint Preux and I said it. |

sometimes i feel ashamed of myself because i can't change or reverse this tragedy that has struck haiti, il y a plusieurs années... other times, i' just reluctant to identify myself straightly as a haitian, with no stings attached. i just identify myself as a haitian immigrant, although i've just been naturalized as a haitian american. no one likes their native country, homeland or motherland to be pictured in a negative way, even though it's been categorized as a third world country. besides the bad things in haiti, there're also good things worthy to be acknowledged. besides hearing those things that sicken me, i too want to hear the good things hidden behind the curtain that certain people want not to surface.
haiti can't stay in its present condition. it's time for a change. i don't know if there's any non-profit organizations that conduct fund-raise for haiti. i'd like to suggest this:
-the creation of a haitian non-profit organization with a main goal to raise funds and collect foods to distribute across the counrty in all 9 departments. this would be another step haitians abroad and around the world would take to help the needy in haiti.
i grow in haiti i came here when i was 19 year olds every since i came here i only heaar negative about haitian but one thing we don't know or they don't know about us we love each other too much it drives us mad. i thing we need to stop talking about each on a negative way instead og put each other down let biuld up one another when the others races see that they will resppect us as proud haitians. don't be ashame to let everyone know you love your country. for example look the africans no matter what they do or a long they been in the usa when i go to their party they always cool thier native foods and they support each. let remember where we came from by supporting each other or think positive. because no one could not change us or our situatuion right now in haiti expect us because we lived it and saw what is going on with our country.

la vi a chè tou patou menm isit o zeta zuni, gade pri yon galon lèt pri gaz menm se pa pale, mwen pa kwè se vyolans kap ede nou rezoud pwoblem nou yo.
