Angry, Frustrated, Hurting, Hungry people lash out and what ever they can .... That is true in other countries as well as Haiti!

I do beleive that Haitians can learn to work in a more postive way with education and training. How do people gain knowledge such as the vaule of material things without 1st owning something?

I would love to see the roads in Haiti fixed... They are quite bad on presious automobiles, backs & butts. I'm more of a feed, educate and cloth kinda helper outter! That's the stuff I know.... but anxious to see the plan!

Dear Amber,

You have the right mindset and I applaud your positive, problem solving approach to roads in Haiti.  Those with negative opinions can always drive on the roads we are proposing to build, no problem there.   Construction, destruction, good, bad are always side by side.   Someday the Haitian people will understand the value of good over evil (bad) or positive actions versus destruction actions.   Education/training is the key.

I will be in Haiti for a couple of days and I will pass on any good news to you all visitors of this website. 

Keep hope and faith alive!

I missed that great thread.

I 've been to Haiti 4 times this year already. I spent the whole month of August there. And I went back again for the first week and a half of September. The shoes I'm currently wearing still hold the Haitian dirt. I can tell you about the roads in Haiti and what we need to do as an initative on this site. Unfortunately, I can speak of the south since I haven't been in the north.

The national roads to the south provinces are great! I mean at the level of any developed country's except for size (of course) and other cautionary logistics. From Mariani to Jacmel, the road is even marked!!! Preval did a great job in that sense.

If we really want to help realistically, we should only focus on national roads, then we will avoid regional patriotism on where we should start or where we should focus our efforts. The national roads are more important in the sense that they allow you to ESCAPE PORT-AU-PRINCE.

Since national roads cost a lot of money, we should restrict our efforts to restoring delapidated PARTS of the roads and especially focus on MAINTENANCE rather than building. Underdeveloped countries are well-known for letting time mess up their past deeds (nou bon pou sa vre).

So ROAD MAINTENANCE is something that will not cost as prohibitively high as actually constructing the roads. Moreover, the political eyes will not see us as potential politicians with a secret agenda.
