Haiti

Haiti was the first black nation in the world, made up of free slaves, a country of a diverse and accomplished background. Although their current state isn’t that of the glory it had used to be to the citizens, they still encompass hope. Haiti is still a symbol of freedom, as a whole, and that is likely why it’s citizens are so proud of their location and country. As a…

The summer after my sophomore year, I went on a mission trip to Haiti with my church’s youth group. There, I served by building a house for a family affected by the earthquake that shook Haiti in 2010 and did minor repairs and clean up at the mission base I stayed at. At the end of each day, my team and I would come back to the base to discover it flooded with children. The kids would cling to your side and beg for you to play with them in the limited English they spoke. From the moment after I…

Describe an experience from your life that either demonstrates your character or helped shaped it. This summer, I visited my home country Haiti. I went there for just ten days, yet those ten days of scorching heat opened my eyes and made me see how lucky I am, and how much I should take advantage of the resources I have readily available for me to use. I’ve always known I should be happy that I have the opportunity to have a free education, parents, and roof over my head while living in one…

Stabilization could mean educating the electorate and public officials on how to correctly run campaigns in a honest manner. The problem with transitional governments, though, is that they are supposed to be temporary but stabilization can take a long time. Haiti has had political problems since 1804, and to say that democracy will quickly stabilize is a mere prediction. The current presidential elections will be delayed for an unpredictable amount of time and simply replacing the corrupt…

Haiti, my country, is going through many challenges. In addition to being the poorest country in the American Continent, it faces alarming economic and political crisis, and a low level of education (...) worsens the situation. Only 1% of those who finish high school can go to university, and less than 50% of them finish university (Dare2Impact, 2015). It's revolting! In a country of about 11 million people, more than 50% are young, they can no longer be seen as the future. They are also the…

Wilson Laleau, the Chief of Staff of Haitian President Jovenel Moise told the Miami Herald that President Moise will appeal directly to President Trump to request that the TPS be extended as Haiti is still dealing with the consequences of the earthquake that hit Port-Au-Prince, in 2010. Putting the earthquake aside which occurred seven years ago, there were ample opportunities in the ensuing years for the Haitian government to turn things around…

the living room watching t.v when my dad came in crying. In that moment I knew something was wrong because I’ve never seen my father cry. He told us to put on the news. My heart dropped the moment I heard that there was a devastating earthquake in Haiti. I woke up and looked at the time, and it was 2 am. I prayed that it was just a horrible dream until I heard my neighbors screaming. I walked to the kitchen and found my dad sitting at the table with dry tear stains on his face. “Heard…

2010 Haitian Earthquake ○ Where and how: The infamous 2010 earthquake occurred 25km from Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital. This region was the most densely populated area of the country, which increased the impact of this event significantly. The earthquake struck at 4:53pm local time on the 12th of January, with a depth of around 13km. This relatively shallow depth meant that most of the energy of the earthquake was released close to the surface, resulting in a devastating catastrophe. The event…

they have done to themselves consider by the society, but the same sex somehow is far worst. Since the beginning god creates Adam and Eve to reunited as man and women, in some society they accept them to be legally public in some not. For example, in Haiti if they find a gay either men or women the population will take them down because for them it is not right. In America in other hands, they accept them to be legally married and adopt children. They are consistency viewed by the way they talk,…
