HaitiXchange.com was started by Pascal Antoine after searching for, and rediscovering his roots in Haiti. He immediately fell in love with the country, wanted to share it with everyone and dispell negative myths and misconceptions. Sympathetic to the country's plight, Pascal decided to dedicate his online expertise to the upliftment and advancement of the country.
One of Haiti's big problems is a general misunderstanding among the international population due to a long tradition of political, economic, and cultural isolation. One of the goals of this site is to bridge that gap by presenting interesting articles and features that deal with everyday questions and issues regarding Haiti.
This site will strive to present this information in a unbiased, relatively light-hearted manner in an attempt to reach the broadest population possible. It will present both the good and the bad in order to counter the often negative protrayal of Haiti in international media.
This site is for everyone, people who have never been to Haiti, people of Haitian descent who want information on their homeland, and the many members of the Haitian Diaspora who are desperate for a virtual link to "lakay."
I hope you enjoy the site, for it is truely a labor of love.
