Read it and submit your own comments Friday May 02, 2008Sometimes 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.
Tuesday Apr 29, 2008i 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.

The Research Group on Disparities in Health within the Department of Health and Behavior Studies at Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York, New York is inviting HAITIAN WOMEN to participate in a study to rate a healthcare website DIVAhealth.org providing information on HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs); and, to share what you know and think about these diseases. The survey takes approximately 25-30 minutes. The survey is limited to the first 200 women who complete the survey. You must be 18 and older to participate. Once 200 people have completed the entire survey, the program will automatically send out an Amazon gift certificate (bar coded) to three randomly chosen e-mail accounts in the amount of $100 without in any way linking your identity to the survey results. You can print out the gift certificate, if you are a winner, and use it at amazon.com. Please go to DIVAhealth.org and click on “The Haitian Station” /SURVEY # 1- HAITIAN WOMEN to view the informed consent, learn about your rights as a participant and proceed to the survey.
