Haiti's president-elect visits Miami
Haiti's president-elect paid a visit to South Florida to thank his Miami-based supporters.
President-elect Michel Martelly visited the Little Haiti Cultural Center Monday morning to talk about changes he wants to make to his country.
Among topics covered, Martelly spoke about how he plans to help his nation recover from a devastating earthquake in 2010 that claimed thousands of lives and left the nation's capitol of Port-au-Prince in ruin.
He would also recognize the enormous help donations have made to the country's redevelopment. "This is almost 25 percent of the country's GDP," he said.
Martelly also promised sweeping changes to improve the country's education system and economy following the disaster.
Lucy Orlando, a Martelly supporter, said she has hope in the new president. "What I hope for the country is to have a big change," she said, "because the same people who used to be here before is the people who's here now. That's why everybody's afraid."
Martelly also addressed the controversy that plagued the election whose results are still complicating matters for the legislative branch. "We had a free and fair election in spite of many obstacles," he said, "and now it is time to move our country forward. There is, however, the manipulation of the legislative election results, but I am confident that they will be resolved within the next week or so."

Help for Haiti with the Cholera
The Ministry of Health reported that as of Friday, there had been 917 deaths and more than 14,600 were hospitalized with cholera-like symptoms. That is up from the 724 deaths and 11,125 hospitalizations reported a few days before.
The disease has been found in 6 of Haiti’s 10 provinces, known as departments, and is most severe where it originated, in Artibonite, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the deaths.
Several epidemiologists have said the disease has not peaked and will likely worsen and break out in other regions of the country, with United Nations health officials estimating about 270,000 may be sickened in the coming years. Several new cholera treatment centers are springing up in the capital and other areas.
“The trend is increasing and it is propagating from department to department,” Roc Magliore, the Ministry of Health’s epidemiologist, said in a telephone interview on Sunday. He referred questions to the ministry’s director general, Gabriel Timothee, who could not be reached.
Hospitals in Port-au-Prince, where more than one million earthquake refugees live in congested, squalid tent encampments, are overflowing with patients exhibiting cholera symptoms, and the death toll there has reached 27. The disease was first reported in the capital on Nov. 8.
President René Préval, at a conference on the disease on Sunday in Port-au-Prince, urged people to wash their hands frequently and drink only potable water, The Associated Press reported. But even before the earthquake, most of the population lacked access to clean water and sanitation.
Cholera, a bacteria that thrives in feces-contaminated water, causes severe diarrhea and vomiting that can dehydrate and kill its victims in hours without treatment. The rate of severe cases, about 30 to 40 percent, is far higher in Haiti than the 25 percent in a typical outbreak because of extreme poverty, unsanitary conditions and the fact that cholera has not been there for 40 years.
“When we go around and give advice about hygiene, they say, ‘Let me have soap, I can’t afford it,’ ” said Leonard Doyle, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration, an agency that is distributing water purification tablets and cleaning supplies.
On Friday, the United Nations requested $164 million from humanitarian agencies and donors to put in place a strategy to help the government respond to the disease. The largest piece of the plan is $89 million for clean water, sanitation and hygiene.
Officials in the neighboring country, the Dominican Republic, say they are limiting markets on the border and taking other steps to ensure cholera does not reach that country, where thousands of Haitians live and work.
A suspected case turned out not to be cholera, the country’s health minister said Sunday, according to a Dominican newspaper, Listin Diario, which said the Dominican Republic is prepared to treat 7,500 to 10,000 cholera patients.

President Rene Preval called on leaders from Europe and the Americas to keep their promises of aid for Haiti

Haiti's president has called on leaders from Europe and the Americas to keep their promises of aid for the Caribbean country as it struggles to rebuild from the January's devastating earthquake.
Speaking at a donor conference in the neighbouring Dominican Republic on Wednesday, Rene Preval said that the nation faced an "immense challenge" to rebuild.
According to aid experts, Haiti needs about $11.5bn for its anticipated decade-long rebuilding effort.

But so far, Haitian government officials say, only Brazil has delivered its entire aid pledge of $55m.
Speaking to representatives of more than 50 donor nations on Wednesday, Preval said planned recovery projects to be financed by funds pledged at a donors meeting in March would produce "a more decentralised, fairer Haiti".
The meeting in New York had pledged $5.3bn toward Haiti's reconstruction over the next two years and $9.9bn over the next decade, but little of that money has so far arrived.
Former US president Bill Clinton, who co-chairs a commission overseeing much of the reconstruction funds, also called on donors to make come through on their pledges to realise Haiti's recovery plans.
Wednesday's conference, titled the "World Summit for the Future of Haiti," was aimed at extracting more of the pledged money, defining reconstruction projects and deadlines, as well as reassuring donor countries that the World Bank would oversee the process to minimise embezzlement and corruption.
"Today, we have a very clear framework in terms of what we must do," said Jose Miguel Insulza, the secretary-general of the Organisation of American States.
"This is not just a meeting to look over what has been done, but really to set out a program, adopt it and put it into action."
Democracy in jeopardy
The top UN representative to Haiti also warned that the country's struggling democracy was in jeopardy if there was no improvement in the lives of millions of earthquake survivors.
Bill Clinton, the UN special envoy to Haiti urged donors to keep their pledges [AFP]
"The longer that the victims continue living in precarious conditions, the more they will have reason to be discontent," Edmond Mulet said at the conference.
"That discontent can be manipulated for political ends."
Officials also discussed ways to finance a planned November 28 election to replace Preval, whose term expires next year.
Preval ignited off street protests in the capital Port-au-Prince when he published a law extending his term by up to three months if the election is not held on time.
On Wednesday however, he reiterated a pledge to step down as scheduled on February 7.
The January 12 earthquake effectively levelled Port-au-Prince, killing more than 250,000 people and leaving 1.3 million living in precarious tent camps exposed to tropical storms.
The economy of Haiti - already the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere - was badly hit.
While international aid has flowed in, the magnitude of the disaster means reconstruction efforts have been slow to have an impact.
Much of the country's infrastructure - roads, water distribution and electricity - has to be rebuilt, along with schools and universities.
