Any news on Haiti's rebuilding?

[ScienceRocks]

What is the latest news on Haiti's rebuilding? What kind of progress have they made over the past few years. Like are their children going to school? and what kind of progress within Infrastructure.

Is this nation finally picking its self up?

 

[blastoff]

I dunno about the nation but I'd bet dollars to donuts the Haitians handling all the incoming aid money and goods have likely picked up a lot.

 

[longknife]

I recently read an article where someone is sending millions of food packages there. Just hope they end up with those who still desperately need them.

What they really need is the ability to develop their own farms.

Maybe sending them a tractor and seed is more important?

Here's their current topography - where do they have room for food supply agriculture?

Our they rebuilding their cities or accepting card board boxes???

Maybe a few million books and tablets would be a good way to educate the population. Maybe Google could put up a dozen of those Wi-Fi balloon things.

Yep,

What these people need is education, birth control and industry. "Maybe" the new internet education thing maybe able to educate the population to the point where they can start building industry/Businesses.

When they have that organizion they can farm and trade goods with the rest of the world. This is what they must do.

what they need is to stop breeding more of what they cant feed or take care of now. THAT is what they must do.


when the "poor" here stop whining about education and lack of funding and such.. then i will be more then happy to help other countries. Until then.... i really dont care what they need.

The United States' relationship with Haiti

The devastation

After eight days of turmoil and despair from the massive 7.0 earthquake that shook the island of Haiti on January 12, Haiti gets hit again with a 6.1 aftershock, to complicate things even more.

Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, is facing devastation after devastation. Bodies are being thrown in mass graves without any burial rituals and pictures of these bodies that may identify them to their families are non-existent; people are surviving off of energy biscuits and little water; injuries and illnesses are so overwhelming and if not treated will worsen; victims have to fight for necessities. Despite the growing relief efforts from people around the world, the reconstruction of Haiti and the welfare of its inhabitants will take years of global aid and support. After all, Haiti did not reach this state overnight. In the past, America helped play a part in its economic demise.

History with the U.S. (The brief version)

In 1778, a regiment of free black Haitians fought for America's freedom in the Revolutionary War's "Battle of Savannah."*In 1804, Haiti declared its independence from France. A couple years later, the United States Congress boycotted Haiti and imposed a trade embargo on the newly independent nation that forbid U.S. Merchant's from doing any business with people whom "it is the interest of the United States to depress and keep down," the bill states.


Despite opposition, the bill passed on March 3, 1805. Consequently, Haiti did not receive U.S. recognition until 1862. Due to the countries' severe economic deficit along with its political strife, the United States intervened in 1905, yet again and occupied Haiti for 19 years forcing its inhabitants in slavery.


In March of 1987 Haiti drafted a constitution, but Haitians experienced many more years of political upheaval and dictatorship. It was not until 2004 that Haiti developed a new democracy and was on the road to a slow recovery-until now.

Haiti Re-visited

20 June 2013 Last updated at 06:51 ET Help

It is three and a half years after Haiti's devastating earthquake - and the country is still recovering.

Although the number of people living in camps in the centre of the capital city is getting smaller, on the outskirts of Port au Prince a huge slum city is springing up.

Why won't the government give these people welfare and government housing? (Section 8). Could it be that the white man treats blacks better within our countries???? Could it be that we care more. Of course it does...

and that makes me very sad.

 

[ScienceRocks]

It's really up to the people of Haiti to advance themselves. No amount of donations from America can fix their mess.

 

[Duped]

I think the rebuilding is at pace with the reforestation

 

[ScienceRocks]

Then these people only have themselves to blame. Think about it.

Then these people only have themselves to blame. Think about it.

These people don't think about blame - they are like locust. The ones whom need to think are the dumb asses sending them money. They need to realize that education, and self reiance is the thing that will help them.
