How America and the Rest of the World Ruined Haiti

Haiti Poultry - 8 Chickens Dead in 5 days - Maladi Poul deyo!

It's sick chicken season in Haiti... Last week, I lost 8 of my 12 chickens in the back yard and it made me feel sorry for all the Haitian men and women from the countryside who earn a living raising chicken... I just found out lots of chickens across Haiti get sick and die each and every year... "Maladi Poul" Haitians call it... more »

Haiti Levanjil - "Si Papa-m se Roi, Fok mwen Prince" - Ki opinion ou sou sa?

En Haiti, Levanjil ap preche tout lajounen, mirak ap fèt, epi pèp la nan lamizè pi rèd... Maten an, mwen tande Robert Celiné, alias Bob C., sou antènn Radio Caraibes ki di: "Si Papa-m se Roi, Fòk mwen Prince!" Bob C. t-ap refere a kantite moun ki aksepte Jezi nan peyi a, ki ap lapriyè lajounen kou lannwit, 7 jou sou 7, epi sitiyasyon yo pa janm chanje... Ta sanble lidè evanjelik yo plis preche pou kenbe moun sa yo nan lamizè olye pou yo ta ede moun sa yo soti nan lamizè... Pastè vinn pi rich, Fidèl yo menm ap jete ti sa yo genyen an nan lakòlèt... more »

Will Haitians Ever STOP using Charcoal as a Cooking Fuel?

When I returned in Haiti almost three years ago, the very first decision I made was to BAN the use of charcoal (Charbon de Bois) from my house... No more chabon, not even for ironing clothes... So far, it's been successful in my house BUT... Can Haitians Ever DETACH themselves from charcoal as cooking fuel? more »

Haiti Education - Pou ki rezon etidyan Haitien yo ap etidye pa ke konsa? Repons la ka choke-w

Yon maten, mwen leve lakay mwen Haiti, mwen tande yon etudian ki ap bat yon bèt (etidye pa kè) anba poto limyè a devan lakay la. Ti demwazèl la ap goumen ak yon francais, li ap eseye memorize yon tèks ke mwen pa ka menm konprann ale wè poum ta eseye memorize-l. Apre yon 20 minit konsa, mwen oblije soti sou galri a pou-m a mande li kisa l-ap etidye laa... Mwen sezi tande kisa ti dam la di-m... more »
