I am so proud of everything












My last day in Haiti my full report
my journey in Haiti, I have to say it was one of the best experience in my life. I met with a lot of people, I heard a lot of stories and saw so many things I am so proud of my team that help me out in Haiti and also would like to take the time, to thank all of my donors and sponsors that help me through my journey in Haiti, churches, schools that need to be built and also the agriculture systems in Haiti that really need a hand. But I need some irrigation water pumps system for the farmers to bring the water from the rivers to the farms. I took a lots of pictures so everyone can not only read but see for they own, that two months later the daily life of the Haitian people, without electricity, water, and a good food supplies I met with a lot of teachers that asking me to help them build new schools for the kids but me alone can’t do it all, I really need all kind of help that I can get to make they dream become a reality for every child to learn how to read and write and for every parents to be able to work they farms with good irrigation pumps water so they can sell they products and bring the economy in Haiti to a full start I don’t believe on that Give me or Help me mind set I believe that nobody owe you anything you owe everything to yourself, so for the Haitian people to understand that we need organization like mine, who will take the time to teach, and create opportunities for the farmers, and help with good Christian churches, and schools to be able to help the next generation through educations, agricultures and other great opportunity like build medical clinics, once again what a great way to serve my country with the help of some good friends, with churches and also donors, sponsors like you that really went as far as you could to help my foundation. Also a great and a special thank you to Temple Baptist Church in Nashville TN, the Cathedral of praise church in Nashville TN and also Brother Ryan J. bult from cross point community church in Nashville TN who has been praying for us and the Haitian people, a great thank you to you all.

Traveling from Croix-des-Bouquet to Mirebalais










Our journey began in Crois-des-bouquet this morning we met with a lot of people who were going to Mireblais from Crois-des-bouquet, most of them lost everything since the quakes they do not have no government assistance or any other organization to help them, so we went and some of those tents with foods, like rice, beans, cooking oil, and other ingretients from them to use. After couple hours we travel from there to Mirebalais when we get there so many people were asking us for any donations, they told us that they have a river but they are in need of a water irrigation pump to put in it so they can plant food and vegetables to not only feed they family but also to send they kids to school, so we took the name of some of the people there so next time when I came back I can help them with the water irrigation pump system, we also saw some land that was for sale, but since we were lack of money we could not do anything for the people so.I'll be posting some picture so everyone can see the images

Wednesday morning in Haiti

I am bless to wake this morning, I am using a generator that I rented for $50 a day. The elctricity company only let us have electricity for four to five hours a day,the mayor of the town I am helping in Haiti will like to meet with me so I am going to get ready to go meet with him, he will like to talk to me about some of the project he will like to see happen in his town of Mirebalais, Haiti. a tent here in Haiti cost around $60 and most of the poor people sold they tent so they can feed they family, so can you imagine selling your tent just toput food on your table, after selling the tent the families will create or build a man made tent that's what I call them so whenever it rain everybody in that tent will get wet and get sick, so the need in Haiti is still needed and I am grateful for everyone that donated to my foundation

Haiti’s Race Against the Rain

There were floods on Saturday in Les Cayes, in southwestern Haiti. It rained in Port-au-Prince on Thursday, and again on Saturday and Sunday night, long enough to slick the streets and make a slurry of the dirt and concrete dust. Long enough, too, to give a sense of what will happen across the country in a few weeks, when the real storms start.

Mud will wash down the mountains, and rain will overflow gutters choked with rubble and waste, turning streets into filthy rivers. Life will get even more difficult for more than a million people.

New misery and sickness will drench the displaced survivors of the Jan. 12 earthquake — like the 16,000 or so whose tents and flimsy shacks fill every available inch of the Champ de Mars, the plaza in Port-au-Prince by the cracked and crumbled National Palace, or the 70,000 who have made a city of the Petionville Club, a nine-hole golf course on a mountainside above the capital.

The rainy season is the hard deadline against which Haiti’s government and relief agencies in Port-au-Prince are racing as they try to solve a paralyzing riddle: how to shelter more than a million displaced people in a densely crowded country that has no good place to put them.

The plan after the quake was to move people to camps outside the city. But in a sudden shift last week, officials unveiled a new idea. They would try to send as many people as possible, tens of thousands, back to the shattered streets of Port-au-Prince before the rains come. The prime minister approved it on Friday.

It if it sounds insane, insanity is relative in Haiti now. Consider the choices:

¶Let people stay in filthy, fragile settlements where no one wants to live, and pray when the hurricanes hit.

¶Build sturdy transitional housing in places like Jérémie, in the southwest, that can absorb the capital’s overflow.

¶Encourage people to return to neighborhoods that are clogged with rubble and will be for years, where the smell of death persists. In areas like Bel Air and Fort National, near Champ de Mars, people whose homes still stand are sleeping outside, in fear of aftershocks. They were still pulling bodies out of Fort National over the weekend, burning them on the spot.

The first plan is intolerable. The second may come true only several years and hurricanes from now. The third is merely absurd.

Officials believe that if they clear just enough rubble from certain areas of the city and improve drainage in flood-prone areas, they can ease the pressure on the camps and save lives. It makes some sense to keep people near their neighborhoods, holding on to what remains of their lives and livelihoods.

But when what remains is nothing, it’s hard to make sense of that idea. Harder still when you realize that the Haitian government and aid agencies are still overwhelmed by the crisis. The government hasn’t even figured out where to put the rubble, and doesn’t seem to know who is living where.

Official word was that 80 percent of refugees in Champ de Mars were from Turgeau, where debris-clearing is to begin. I talked with about 40 people throughout the Champ de Mars. They were from Bel Air, Fort National, St. Martin. Nobody was from Turgeau. Several knew of the plan and a few had registered for it. But nobody had been told where, when and how they would leave. So we are doing are best to work with the authorities to find the best place to put some of the people
