Haiti

Pitied from the world, farmers, coffee grinders, merchants, country of the hard-headed. They tell me that you lack of security and I believe them, for I have heard the news of kidnappings and rapes of young children. And they tell me that you are ungoverned and I answer: yes, it is true I have seen people go to political power just for their own personal benefits. And they tell me that you are inhumane and my reply is: you’re well sourced, it has shown in the media, how the average Haitian worry…

I am from Haiti this is the story of my life and how people think I am so “Rich and everything that I have are “handed” to me. When I was in Haiti I was living in the smallest house you could possibly imagine. Life was hard I had to work for everything and I mean work hard some days are better than others. Sometime it could be a great day where my mom come home and she is able to cook us something to eat, but some days when she come home from being gone all day she come home with nothing.…

them over if they do not have a productive agricultural system or economy. To reach a state where some people can be idle it necessary for most people to work hard. France benefited off Haiti for a long time and the French people were allowed to be idle because they were outsourcing work to the colonies. Because Haiti cannot outsource work they must do it themselves - to a large degree former enslaved people…

Known for great travesty, a country almost completely destroyed by an earthquake, Haiti is an island nation lacking in basic infrastructure that has led to shortages in its educational providings. I took interest in this topic because of the great natural disaster and I noticed that one of the issues that Haiti had was a lack of education. The average family in Haiti has a per capita income of $400 and in rural areas only $100, making it the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. This ties…

Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in the world. Haiti has been in poverty for a long time now. They have experienced political instability for most of its history which is very sad. According to Turtis Richard, There is a current population of 10.85 million people in Haiti. Last time they recorded the number of people in Haiti was in 2016, so this number has changed over time. The nation is multi ethnic, which means it is home to peoples of…

damage earthquakes can cause. The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco is famously known for destroying much of the city and causing the death of many people. Similarly and more recently the 2010 Haiti Earthquake was a reminder of the awe-inspiring damage natural disasters like earthquakes can do. The 2010 Haiti Earthquake is also an excellent reminder of what kind of harm earthquakes can do if the community effect is ill prepared. This may be a very important reminder to many Americans in states…

58 countries reported a cumulative total of 589,854 cases including 7,816 deaths (case fatality rate of 1.3%) to the World Health Organization (WHO). There was an 85% increase in number of cholera cases as a result of the Haiti cholera outbreak(https://www.cdc.gov/cholera/haiti/2010-outbreak-response.html) in October 2010. Resource-poor areas continue to report the vast majority of cases with the African continent having the worst case fatality rates.16…

The Rev. Pat Robertson made a very unfortunate pronouncement about the Haiti tragedy on this last Tuesday night. Here is what I think about: I am thankful God does not:1- Judge us as a human would do.2- Save us as a bulk processing3- Change his love towards us4- Delay His promise Despite what “Times magazine” web page says about his self-promotion on the prediction of events, I would like to say that many people, including himself, forgets about the moment we live in history. The measure of…

life, spent a week teaching me the meaning of joy. Now it goes out to the place where it all began. I think often of beautiful Haitian people living in the Dominican Republic. They live separated from society as they don’t look Dominican. Many left Haiti in hopes of finding a better life for them and their families. Others are Dominican born, but carry the traits of Haitian family who traveled across the border years before. No matter when and how they came to be where they are, many of them…

earthquakes had happened in the west hemisphere. When people lamented about the death of friends and families, the differences in casualties and collapse between these two earthquakes raise people’s awareness. In January, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake stroked Haiti, causing 220,000 people died. In contrast, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake which released 500 times more energy than Haiti’s, rattled Chile but only causes 525 people to die. When seeking the answers to the huge differences, scientists…
