As Haitian living abroad we have to go back, we must go back to better our country....the key is not necessarily in living in Haiti year round but in investing in the Haitian e-conomy in building businesses before "they do" in playing a very tactical chest game, in forming companies run and owned by Haitians who cares about the country.....Haiti has about 8 million people living in it....its economy is owned by less than 5% of the population (about 350,000 at best)......There are more than 2 million Haitian living abroad and many are doing descent....what we as Haitian living abroad need to do is visit Haiti find the niche that is needed where ever it is Health care, Technical Schools, Aviation, and create investements groups that goes to Haiti and develop those plans....Haitians will invest in Haiti if you can offer them the right infrastructure, plan of action, and what will the benefit be to the country and its citizens......We can not ask too much of the Haitian governmentas, all we can pray for is stability we can do the rest.... Haitian living in America we can do anything "they" can do except we can do it in the interest of our country.....If we count on the Haitian government that is currently being stalled by all kind of outside forces we will never see results...one by one, group by group, we can rebuild Haiti.....Share Ideas, share goals...do school fundraisers....if you are an engineer think of how you can build a strech of road for Haiti (so people leaving in the rural areas will have better acces to the highways)....If you are in agriculture how can a group of Haitian bring water to the dry lands of Haiti so farming can occur.....if you are a teacher what kind of school can benefit Haiti today.....If your are in constructrion how about building a magnificent building or rebuilding "palais san souci"......If you are in the Hotel industry how seeing about opening some beautiful efficient resorts....if you are in medicine How can you get you and your colleagues bring medical care kits to Haiti...How can you staff a Hospital.....How can a clinic be funded so that orphans don't have to die because they have no one to buy they medications for them..........And even with all that you find you still can not go back find a group that is willing to and share your Ideas and help fund their efforts.....As proud Haitians remember we have the knowledge...we know the game so we will play it and we will play it well.....we will no longer be played "like a game of chest" but we can Play them. "L'union fait la Force"........
