JeMeSouviens,

The DSNCRP is a very new developed project that is underway for change in Haiti on the matter of the poverty and social aspects of things in Haiti.

Let me know what you think. Also here is a Haitian News Station you can get good news from directly from Haiti and I hope your creole and French is good to understand because I know many Dominicans do make the effort to learn French or interested in knowing about what is going on the other side, good or bad.

However, if there are some Dominicans wanting to know about the news from their neighbor... here is the site http://www.metropolehaiti.com/metropole/archive.php



Lautaro,

I wish this was in Spanish, but I hope you can ask JeMeSouviens or AntonioJ to translate for you. Mind you I only address this to you two or those I think are open minded enough...

Perhaps those others like Cibaeno75 and AntoniJ can look at it as well because thus far only them have shown me the intellect worthy to discuss anything on here and because I have not detected any Racist Radical Conservative Extremism and Anti-Semitism from them.

Here is the document:

I know about the DSNRCP AfroLatino.....But I'm a little skeptical if it will work. In my mind, the only way to decrease poverty is to create jobs......And not the ones that pay you $2 a day.

CIBAENO75, SAID
The fact is that those who left and stayed away never had real love for the place or were just cowards, Case in point: Juan Sanchez Ramirez. Sanchez Ramirez left during the initial turmoil but returned because he loved the island and considered it his home. He had enough wealth and clout to live in other parts of what was then left of the Spanish Empire in relative comfort. But he returned to what is now the Dominican Republic because it was his home. And he returned with a sword in his hand. Many men of means remained or eventually returned. Only the cowards and those who had no true love for home in the first place made there home in other parts. I say good riddance. I'm not of the mind like you or Balaguer that laments the loss of yesteryear's "elites" and "whites". I'm proud of the people that stayed behind, wether it was out of necessity or out of shear love for the place, to make a patria for us Dominicans. I have no regrets as to what the Dominican people are today and as such I don't lament what could've been if such and such families stayed behind as that psuedo intellectual Balaguer was always prone to do.

CARLOSFRANCO, SAID
1. Am proud of being Dominican too or haven 't you notice

2. I lament that my COUNTRY and my PEOPLE fell to the swords of Haitians and were forced to fleed for their lives... I don't call that cowardice no governent in DR had the means to defend the population... Stupidity would be the name if they remained knowing that the haitians sought to get them out...

thats the lowest comment you've ever made... thats like calling a soldier a coward for retreating from a battle because he lacks bullets

Or calling European Jews during world war 2, brave for staying and getting GASED
CarlosFranco good observation. Cibaeno75 I cant believe that you consider Joaquin Balaguer a pseudo intellectual, hes an incredible literary of his time and beyond. The reason why Balaguer expressed sorrow to such emigration is clear and understandable, a brain drain ocurred in the periods following the unexpected haitian incursions in the dominican side of the island. The most talented and wealthy citizens left the country, that's why the last invasion and occupation lasted 22 years the people were left without an organized leadership and since most of the people were poor it was difficult to organize a movemnt with a solid objective, instead many groups were formed independently with no effect. Until the very young Juan Pablo Duarte had a vision to organize a movement that would unite all under one umbrella. And more importantly he had money to fund the movement for separation from the invading haitians, that brought more poverty in the midst of a freshly independent colony from the spanish crown, which declined in influence and power due to the french revolution.

Balaguer.....intellectual....? Hahahahahahahahaha. Like the French say," c'est pas possible". Oh man, Lautaro, Cibeano, if you guys want to know what's going on in Haiti, youtube "valabab" its news from Haiti.

"French", are you allowed to speak the slave masters language????? Stick to creole or ebonics!!!!!

Slave masters language?.....Ebonics?.... If you can't speak Latin then maybe you should stop typing okay, arcatype. Your treading a very dangerous line papi. Its is very disrespectful to redicule a cultures language....Especially the two that Haitians speak. But you wouldn't care...You have no respect for cultures, or peoples feelings. One day all that is going to come back and haunt you. When that time come, I hope you suffer.

At least Haitians have Creole that phenomenally only took less than 100 years to invent when it usually took millions or at least thousands of years for other languages to be created.

So is that why you speak Spanish, the language of Barbaric Spain, your former and perhaps still owner or Idol ARC?

PROPERTY TYCOON FRANK MC.KINNEY'S EXTREME BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Jacqui Goddard.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article4318913.ece

MIAMI - As the creator of some of America’s most opulent mansions Frank McKinney knows a thing or two about luxury. So when it came to marking his 45th birthday, the flamboyant tycoon was likely to treat his guests to an extravagant party. Indeed, a tour of his latest construction — a $29 million (£15 million) affair in Manalapan, Florida, with glass staircases, fish swimming in the ceiling, indoor waterfalls and two wine cellars, one for red and one for white — proved a perfect start to the three-day celebration. Then came dinner and champagne at his beachfront estate near by. But there was barely time for the maverick millionaire’s 55 guests to sleep off their hangovers before they were whisked away for the next phase of his $5,000-a-ticket birthday experience — a sobering trip to the festering slums of Haiti.

The Tour of Extremes took them from Florida’s Palm Beach County — among the nation’s wealthiest communities — to Cité Soleil, the poorest suburb of the poorest city in the western hemisphere’s poorest country. There, Mr McKinney has built more than 500 homes for 4,000 people living in abject poverty through his charity, Caring House Project Foundation. His guests’ ticket money will fund the construction of 55 more. “It’s not everyone’s idea of a birthday, but it is mine,” he told The Times. “I’m a modern-day Robin Hood. Here I am providing property to the world’s most wealthy; should I not be providing it to the world’s poorest and homeless too?” Mr McKinney, who started working life with $50 to his name and who now creates properties worth up to $135 million, is a regular on the motivational speaking circuit, giving tips on how to succeed in real estate. A brazen self-promoter, he even sells $250 talking action figures of himself — in aid of his charity — which come complete with his trademark long blond hair and which spout his mantras: “Make it big!” and “Don’t let fear stop ya!” His favourite, though, is: “Be sure to share your blessings with others.”

With stomachs still groaning from their birthday banquet, Mr McKinney and his friends — largely business owners and real-estate entrepreneurs — toured the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, passing roadside stalls that sold cakes made of mud to fill the stomachs of the starving. In Cité Soleil, a squalid shantytown where 300,000 people live without running water, electricity or sewage disposal, violent crime and gang wars are commonplace and few outsiders will enter without an armed United Nations escort. But to those he has helped there, Mr McKinney is known as “Bon Papa” and greeted as a hero. “Here in the US, people miss one episode of Desperate Housewives and they have to go and see their therapist. In Haiti, they have so little yet they are a faith-filled and happy people — they are desperate, but also full of hope,” he said. “When you take care of sustainable needs like housing and water, they flourish. It has an impact on generations, not just the here and now.” Angel Aloma, executive director of Food for the Poor, a US charity whose feeding centres in Haiti have received thousands of tonnes of rice from Mr McKinney, said: “His contributions are nothing short of huge.” In a final cultural twist, Mr McKinney and friends wound up their tour with a night at Haiti’s five-star Hotel Montana, where they ate birthday cake and partied to a calypso band.

“You can have maybe a handful of epiphanous moments in your life and the Tour of Extremes was one, for almost every one of those 55 people who came,” he said. “When they shared their reflections afterwards, not a single one mentioned the mansion or the hotel. They spoke about Haiti.” Mr McKinney says that he takes his inspiration from “biblical wisdom”. A parable in the Gospel of Luke, is paraphrased into a personal motto: “To whom much is entrusted, much will be expected.”

Arctype see himself as a spaniard born in DR, poor soul

Yeah poor soul...
