BRASILIA. - The foreign ministers of Dominican Republic, Carlos Morales, and Brazil’s Antonio Patriota on Thursday agreed to step up efforts for progress in Haiti, with more involvement by both countries’ private sector.
In a news conference, Patriota said Brazil and Dominican Republic are already working within the United Nations framework in various programs to strengthen institutions and security in Haiti, and affirmed he’s convinced it’s possible to "do more and better."
The Brazilian said beyond plans already begun and leading to the construction of infrastructure and to promote Haiti’s agriculture, he spoke with Morales on a possible boost to the impoverished nation’s tourism, with a stronger participation from the Brazilian and Dominican private sectors.
Those initiatives, according to both foreign ministers, would be conducted under the premise of "promoting peace and development" because, as Patriota noted, "peace is linked to economic and social progress."
In addition to Haiti’s situation, the foreign ministers discussed ongoing projects in the Dominican Republic with Brazilian funding and cooperation plans in the areas of agriculture, energy, education and investment.
Tourism
Morales said this year’s increase of Brazilian tourists visiting Dominican Republic reached a record 83,000. "Brazilians are getting to know the Dominican Republic better, but we also want Dominicans to start knowing Brazil better."
Morales said the goal will be made easier with the direct connection between the two countries, begun this year by the Brazilian airline GOL.

Dominicans do not travel to other countries for vacation. They will go to your country to work (legally and illegally) but not to vacation. The Dominicans who come to Jamaica are all here looking for work, to open bars, etc...
If Brazil wants to help Haiti, they need to focus their efforts on agricultural projects there. They need to start there.
Before going over for carnival in Trinidad my wife and I will be going over to Haiti's new Oasis Hotel in Petion Ville for three days. This will be my third trip there and I enjoy everytime I go there. My US college roommate is a doctor in Haiti and we enjoy visiting his family in Montagne Noir, Haiti.

I hope things were different in Haiti, but.............
"It's easy to understand why the U.N. doesn't want to focus on yesterday. Between 1998 and 2008, some $4.8 billion in aid was spent in Haiti, with little to show in terms of development. The international community pledged billions more after the earthquake, but after nearly three years, the promised reconstruction has barely begun. Every time there is a crisis, big promises and fanciful dollar totals grab headlines, only to limp out of the gate. Another event for the cholera initiative is expected in January, when officials are set to release more details about the plan. It may well be pitched as yet another "launch." There will likely be some new donations to announce, and appeals for further support. But while a few journalists might again be thrown off the trail, the U.N. can't evade responsibility forever."

Jamaica and the DR have nice sites and super beaches but I have to say that Haiti has the prettiest country of the three. Beverly Hills and Blue Mountain of Jamaica and Jarabacoa, Sosua, and Constanza of the DR cannot compare with the beauty of Cap Haitian, Milot, and Labadie. The Mountain town of Fuci (I think that is how you spell it) has a temperature down into the high 60°'s during the summer and high 50°'s during the winter.
They need to work to get their country off and running. I can't imagine Haitians (diaspora) would prefer to live in Canada or the US rather than that beautiful country. I am sure they are only there because Haiti does not have a thriving economy. What they don't realize is that pulling away from their homeland is not going to fix what they SHOULD be involved fixing.

LE 16 OCTOBRE 2011 8H08 | PAR JOEL BOMANE
October 16, 2011 9:53 P.M. | by JACQUES ATTALI
This week while flying over the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican
Republic, I thought about this reply of Bubbles, the pathetic drug dealer
from the underbelly of Baltimore, discovering the affluent area of the same
city, home of the ex-wife and the children of the police officer for whom he is
an informant in the fourth episode of the first season of one of my favorite
American television series, The Wire: « I did not know that the border was so
thin between paradise and hell. »
For if Santo Domingo is not quite a paradise, nothing is closer to hell than
Haiti, forgotten by the media, less than two years after the earthquake with
a death toll of more than 200,000, which left more than 1.5 million people
homeless, with more than 10 million cubic meters of rubble and nearly $ 11.5
billion in damage."
From: Jamaica
I have heard poor people within the USA describe their country as hell. The DR and Jamaica are full of hell spots; I am sure that our poor would describe it that way. Haiti has its own hellish areas and I am sure that the intensity (hellish) is proportional to the poverty levels there.
Poverty is hell, wherever you go!
As someone who has visited Haiti on a couple of occasions, I can tell you that it is a wonderful experience. Probably because visitors like myself can afford whatever dining and lodging fits our fancy. We shop, dine, drink, etc. etc. and Haiti has some really nice spots to do this.
Go to Jamaica and I will introduce you to a neighborhood where if you openly wear any gold necklace, etc. you will probably leave the neighborhood without the gold and with a new stab wound or two. I know the DR has its hell hot spots all over the country (ask that engineer girl with one eye) .
Like Jam and the DR, Haiti is considered a paradise to whoever can afford the lifes
From: Dominican Republic, calle A.Portes
The answer to the problems of Haiti and also , to a large extent , to the DR is in very strict birth control . The population growth has to be stopped immediately and when that happens the problems will also be curtailed and in less than 20 years, most problems could be resolved

The DR has enough corrupt crooks in influential positions to worry about.
From: Jamaica
I know the Haitians will not like this but I feel that the Dominican elites have done them more harm than good. They have lured tens of thousands out of Haiti to work for slave wages. Denied citizenship to Dominican born Haitians....Really Dominicans of Haitian ancestry. What a mess! The poor Haitian masses should have revolted against Haiti's establishments of aristocracy. They should not continue to accept business as usual. They need to wipe out one sided systems and implement a universally beneficial one for all Haitians. Bourgeoisie, was a bad word then and should still be considered a present day threat.

Aztec schools offered a formal system of education. Every child had to attend, including girls and slaves. School was mandatory and free. Teachers were highly respected.
School was tough. There was no recess or time to relax in school. But all schools included instruction in song and in dance, not because it was a beautiful art, but because songs and dances were important to religious festivals.
There were three different schools. One school was for girls. Two schools were for boys.
Girls: Girls learned about religion. They learned how to cook, sew, weave, and how to care for their children.

this is why people like you appear as the laughingstocks of all modern civilization. could not teach them? well, apparently they taught them well enough to score better than last place in math and science, in international testing. and they taught them geography, so they would not ask Dominicans if it snows in the DR. and, they know enough to be able to find Trinidad on a map. oh, i forgot...they also know that the earth is round like a ball, not flat like a plate. thge British did enough to teach them how to build a university that ranks number 910 in the world, while your best ranks 5250. that is good enough for me.

Anyway, whatever efforts that helps our neighbor, will eventually help our nation.But tourism development isn't the way to go, at least not yet. These two ministers should concentrate their effort in the development of sustainable agriculture. Secondly, suitable housing and clean water to stem the high incidence of health-related illnesses, (cholera,etc.).

Interesting point, Dready.
I have noticed many Dominicans brag about their Spanish ancestry, but never mention their African slave ancestry.
By contrast, in Australia we have a number of "white Aborigines". They have white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, are 15/16 Caucasian but call themselves "black" or "Aborigine" - the traditional owners of the country, and claim all the government benefits available only to Aborigines, to compensate them for the prejudice they suffer as a result of being "black".

Racism is a relic of our past which it’s still rife and very much alive in our DR. We still think in terms of the US’s circa late 1800’s when slaves won their freedom.
Thankfully, North Americans, Europeans and other nations around the globe, have educated themselves out of this silly, counter-productive, mind-set. ..We, in DR, are still light years from achieving the same. It has a lot to do with our lack of (mostly), a formal education.
This explain why, (I theorize), some contributing posters here must deal up the race card in order to belittle, insult, and/or try to prove a point. Anyone who consigns stupidity to race can’t be very smart.
For some, I’m stating the obvious. For others, something to think about in this regard.

Don't even think know me, because you don't know a god damn thing abou tme , just like I don't know a damn thing about you. So don't assume Im a typical chopo dominican . Because we all know your describing something that is your wife . I bet you met that slut in some dive bar , and you had your trusty viagra, nice and handy right?

actually, hellborn, if i do have aids, there is a more than even chance that i caught it from your mother. so did you, for that matter. your mental state suggests some debilitating hereditary disease. syphillis, maybe, or aids. take your meds, lay off the Brugal, and we might be having this conversation next Christmas eve.. i am not assuming that you are a typical chopo. i am asserting that you are. as to hating Dominicans...i GUARANTEE that i do more for Dominicans than you do. i share more of my income, effort, and time with them, on a daily basis, than you do. what do you contribute to people here? every 5 years, when you have saved up enough to buy a ticket, you rent some clothes from a pawnshop, and come down to show how well you are doing in Nueva Yol. the only contribution you make is to buy rum and beer for the guys at the colmadon, to give the impression that you are some big shot in the USA when, in reality, you live in some section 8 building, in the Marcy Projects.

Dominicans do not travel to other countries for vacation. They will go to your country to work (legally and illegally) but not to vacation. The Dominicans who come to Jamaica are all here looking for work, to open bars, etc...
If Brazil wants to help Haiti, they need to focus their efforts on agricultural projects there. They need to start there.
Before going over for carnival in Trinidad my wife and I will be going over to Haiti's new Oasis Hotel in Petion Ville for three days. This will be my third trip there and I enjoy everytime I go there. My US college roommate is a doctor in Haiti and we enjoy visiting his family in Montagne Noir, Haiti.
"It's easy to understand why the U.N. doesn't want to focus on yesterday. Between 1998 and 2008, some $4.8 billion in aid was spent in Haiti, with little to show in terms of development. The international community pledged billions more after the earthquake, but after nearly three years, the promised reconstruction has barely begun. Every time there is a crisis, big promises and fanciful dollar totals grab headlines, only to limp out of the gate. Another event for the cholera initiative is expected in January, when officials are set to release more details about the plan. It may well be pitched as yet another "launch." There will likely be some new donations to announce, and appeals for further support. But while a few journalists might again be thrown off the trail, the U.N. can't evade responsibility forever."

They need to work to get their country off and running. I can't imagine Haitians (diaspora) would prefer to live in Canada or the US rather than that beautiful country. I am sure they are only there because Haiti does not have a thriving economy. What they don't realize is that pulling away from their homeland is not going to fix what they SHOULD be involved fixing.

I hope you're right, but recent history isn't too promising...............

This week while flying over the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican
Republic, I thought about this reply of Bubbles, the pathetic drug dealer
from the underbelly of Baltimore, discovering the affluent area of the same
city, home of the ex-wife and the children of the police officer for whom he is
an informant in the fourth episode of the first season of one of my favorite
American television series, The Wire: « I did not know that the border was so
thin between paradise and hell. »
For if Santo Domingo is not quite a paradise, nothing is closer to hell than
Haiti, forgotten by the media, less than two years after the earthquake with
a death toll of more than 200,000, which left more than 1.5 million people
homeless, with more than 10 million cubic meters of rubble and nearly $ 11.5
billion in damage."
Poverty is hell, wherever you go!
As someone who has visited Haiti on a couple of occasions, I can tell you that it is a wonderful experience. Probably because visitors like myself can afford whatever dining and lodging fits our fancy. We shop, dine, drink, etc. etc. and Haiti has some really nice spots to do this.
Go to Jamaica and I will introduce you to a neighborhood where if you openly wear any gold necklace, etc. you will probably leave the neighborhood without the gold and with a new stab wound or two. I know the DR has its hell hot spots all over the country (ask that engineer girl with one eye) .
Like Jam and the DR, Haiti is considered a paradise to whoever can afford the lifes
But it won't happen as long as deluded superstition (Christianity) holds sway.
Smart Dominicans and Haitians will continue to leave Hispanola, while the stupid feral peasants will continue to breed like flies, and the church and the corrupt will thrive, until international charity and loans run out.
Antonio1: No, I do not believe that Haiti's problems are the DR's fault. France, the USA, Germany, Duvalier, Voodoo, and the Haitian Elite are to blame for Haiti's problems.
The DR has enough corrupt crooks in influential positions to worry about.

Another Haitian pretending to be Jamaican; and if you are, just move to Haiti buddy, there is not much of a difference between the two.
sadly, this country bumpkin functional illiterate could not find Jamaica on a map of the world.
JUST GIVE UP: It's useless. They don't want help. Misery is their companion and they're used to it.
THEY DONT WANT HELP?.......... ARE U THAT STUPID?
THEY DONT WANT HELP LIKE U DONT WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH A 13Y OLD.
CHOO CHOO
ALL ABOARD PASSENGERS WITH STUPID COMMENTS.
School was tough. There was no recess or time to relax in school. But all schools included instruction in song and in dance, not because it was a beautiful art, but because songs and dances were important to religious festivals.
There were three different schools. One school was for girls. Two schools were for boys.
Girls: Girls learned about religion. They learned how to cook, sew, weave, and how to care for their children.
3/12 centuries before the united states was born aztect childern had to go to school.
now in the dr you have people like mr. silent {the shoe shine king of the malecon in puerto plata} this is why he cant even find jamaica on the map.
choo choo
all haters please board the hate express.
I'm right when I say the two have a lot in common, Jamaica colonized by the British, but were not able to teach them English(blood clot mon) I would not call that English, and the other even worse, it's not French, African, English or Spanish.
Human development? You left for the D.R. before being developed, go back my friend what are you doing in third world country like D.R.
hope mr. chavez can beat this cancer he has his people need him to lead the country. he did build a one-man government........ could be social turmoil should his absence become permanent.inflation is running at 18%, the homicide rate is appalling, one of the highest rate in theworld. another devaluation is all but certain.
good luck for you mr chavez u have done a great justice for all the people. that....u rule.
your people need u and the world needs people like u.
please beat this cancer.
all aboard the cancer exress going to cuba where u can find the best doctors in this wonderful land ruled by the castro brothers.
any way if they dont find the cure u can always get your self one hell of a good cigar and some passable cuban rum

this is why people like you appear as the laughingstocks of all modern civilization. could not teach them? well, apparently they taught them well enough to score better than last place in math and science, in international testing. and they taught them geography, so they would not ask Dominicans if it snows in the DR. and, they know enough to be able to find Trinidad on a map. oh, i forgot...they also know that the earth is round like a ball, not flat like a plate. thge British did enough to teach them how to build a university that ranks number 910 in the world, while your best ranks 5250. that is good enough for me.
Dread. Our best university ranks 5250, in the world?..Wow, we've got a long way to go! Out of curiosity, which would that Be? Not UASD, is it?
Anyway, whatever efforts that helps our neighbor, will eventually help our nation.But tourism development isn't the way to go, at least not yet. These two ministers should concentrate their effort in the development of sustainable agriculture. Secondly, suitable housing and clean water to stem the high incidence of health-related illnesses, (cholera,etc.).
With tourism, few benefit. With agriculture, everyone does.
One love....
"With tourism, few benefit. With agriculture, everyone does."
I agree 1000%!
But not the environment.
Agriculture is necessary of course, however done irresponsibly (which is often is) has destroyed the environment more than tourism and mining put together.

Blood clot, you try to shutdown everyone that opposes you, or say anything contrary to your opinion, but not me, I speak my mind buddy.
One love....
nobody is trying to shut down anybody. you make idiotic remarks, expect that at least one person is going to return fire. when people like you learn to act like you are older than 12 years old, there will be far less acrimony in this site. grow up, and contribute, and stop making stupid remarks..
Dread. Our best university ranks 5250, in the world?..Wow, we've got a long way to go! Out of curiosity, which would that Be? Not UASD, is it?
no. it is PUCMM.
Dr. Dread,
You remember when several years ago I posted the rankings of the major DR "universities” including the UASD to point out how poorly we were doing and I was tarred and feathered by the PURPLE numb nuts.
They were upset that I was pointing to facts they would like to avoid because it did not speak well of the METROLANDIA Fantasy they were trying to project!

have you ever seen pictures of the parking lot at UASD? each space cost 800,000 pesos to construct. does that tell you anything as to why education is in trouble?
rastafari jackass you dont even live in the santo domingo , so what the hell do you care , jerk
rastafari jackass you dont even live in the santo domingo , so what the hell do you care , jerk
since when do i have to live somewhere to care? i do not live in Massachussetts, but i care about the deaths of those children killed last week. you need to grow a brain. as i said before, it is people like you that do irreparable damage to the image of Dominicans. people from other countries read the idiotic things which ooze out of the vacuum between your ears, and think Dominicans are brain dead. do your compatriots a favor, and try to think before you opine. it is Christmas season. ask Santa Claus to bring you a brain for Christmas. then try to USE it. don't just take it to the compraventa, pawn it, and use the money to buy Brugal. that only gets you stoned, and causes you to get int trouble with the law when you go home and beat your wife. besides, don't you already have enough packs of dominoes?
the parking building at UASD is not used by most of the students with cars because they prefer to park as close as possible to the door of their faculty and not have to walk half-way across campus.
A USELESS Parking Garage to go along with the USELESS METRO!
Dread,
This has got to be the jokiest beatdown I have heard all year! Well done! HaH hAH hAAAAAA
I am hoping that you can do me a favor and haunt my toilet just before I flush...Boy!
I have noticed many Dominicans brag about their Spanish ancestry, but never mention their African slave ancestry.
By contrast, in Australia we have a number of "white Aborigines". They have white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, are 15/16 Caucasian but call themselves "black" or "Aborigine" - the traditional owners of the country, and claim all the government benefits available only to Aborigines, to compensate them for the prejudice they suffer as a result of being "black".
Roy, I have noted the same in the so-called "native Americans" tilt/trait that many white people have latched onto; and not only for lucrative designs, (casinos). These white people think they're true descendants of "natives" and behave as such.
I lived in Minnesota for eight cold years and met hundreds of Chippewa "Indians" whom you wouldn't consider to be such, if they didn't brag about it constantly. Go figure.!!
Racism is a relic of our past which it’s still rife and very much alive in our DR. We still think in terms of the US’s circa late 1800’s when slaves won their freedom.
Thankfully, North Americans, Europeans and other nations around the globe, have educated themselves out of this silly, counter-productive, mind-set. ..We, in DR, are still light years from achieving the same. It has a lot to do with our lack of (mostly), a formal education.
This explain why, (I theorize), some contributing posters here must deal up the race card in order to belittle, insult, and/or try to prove a point. Anyone who consigns stupidity to race can’t be very smart.
For some, I’m stating the obvious. For others, something to think about in this regard.
Hey, have you heard the one about the two dumb Polacks who couldn’t change a light bulb? It’s really funny! Wanna hear it?
bossa.

A little too much heat in the kitchen for you hellborn25? Your namesake implies that you should be able to handle it but you can't! You're getting nervous and mis-spelling like a mu'fuuu'ker!

chill, you are new to the site, so let me clue you in. there are numerous white people posting in this site. i am the only black guy. look at the threads, for years. the caucasians can say anything they want to, and the little bootlickers like hellborn never reply. they just keep real quiet, like the little servant types they are. however, if i say anything, they all come down , like a swarm of locusts. they believe that it would be out of order to speak back to white people, who they have been trained to believe are better than they are. however, they will not accept any criticism from me, because i am not afraid to declare that i am black. isn't it funny? a guy from a country where a political candidate lost an election because the people felt he was too black to be President, calling someone else a house ni**er?
