Videyo sa moutre kouman ou ka prepare l ak sa ou gen lakay ou.

Pa bwè l twò vit. Kontinye pran l menm si dyare a pa rete menm lè a. Li pap fè l pi mal.

Men m si ou ta kontinye vomi, kontinye pran l; ou pap vomi tout sik ak sèl li gentan ba ou yo.

Pa blyiye ale nan klinik pou chache swen doktè si dyare ak vomisman an pa vle rete.

Strikers All Stars from FAMU at America's Got Talent's audition!

Yon group dansè yo rele STRIKERS te sou “America’s Got Talent” ak drapo Ayisyen an kenbe byen djanm nan men 2 nan yo.

Sa fè n mande tèt nou konbyen fwa drapo Ayiti a parèt sou sèn letranje depi tranblemandtè 12 Janvye 2010 la?

Siman sa vin nan lide w deja…

Gwo dezas ki touye onpil frè ak sè nou vin rakousi kòd long tout peyi bay Ayiti depi apre lendepandans. Sa fè kèk nan nou vin santi nou pi nan po nou pou devwale idantite nou pandan nap pran defans drapo a.

“Bon Mamit” ta renmen di tout sila yo k ap chache renmen idantite yo, ki vle nonsèlman pran defans peyi yo, mentou kanpe soukote frè parèy yo osnon kanpe menmlè yo poukont yo pou di sak fè nou diferan…

“Bon Mamit” ta renmen di nou pou n toujou sonje se pa ti plizyè milye moun ki mouri pou drapo sa.

Kenbe l djanm, kenbe l pi wo, men sitou kenbe l nan kè n!

Below is an excerpt of the post:

Rural impact

Haiti was encouraged by western countries to liberalise its economy in 1994. As it cut taxes on imports its own rice production plummeted.

In 1980, according to Oxfam, Haiti was virtually self sufficient in rice. But today it imports some 80% of its rice and 60% of its overall food supply.

“Trade liberalisation has exposed Haitian farmers to competition from subsidised US rice and made consumers vulnerable to volatile global food prices,” said Oxfam.

The report says food aid can be another side to this problem.

In the month following the earthquake, for example, there was an international food aid “surge”.

Although Oxfam says the aid was “unquestionably a necessity” because it reduced food prices and allowed people to eat, the price reductions also “negatively affected rural Haitians” who earn money from selling food to the cities and comprise the majority of the population.

The agency recommended that, wherever possible, food aid should be bought in local markets inside the country that is receiving the aid.

Oxfam also made numerous recommendations to the Haitian government aimed at reversing its historic bias favouring the elites in Port-au-Prince over the majority rural poor.

It said the government should:

• decentralise services away from the capital
• ensure that farmers have access to credit
• improve a land tenure system where most farmers have tiny parcels of land known as mouchwa – after the Creole word meaning “handkerchief-sized” – which they can be cheated out of by judges who award title to “whoever offers the biggest bribe”

The situation that Oxfam highlights is part of the bizarre relationship Haiti has with development aid donors and humanitarian workers.

Port-au-Prince is one of the aid capitals of the world.

By some estimates there are over 8,000 development charities working in the city – and almost every four-wheel drive vehicle you see on the streets there has the logo of an aid agency on its doors.

Yet the country remains mired in poverty. And many Haitians see the aid agencies primarily as sources of employment rather than as organisations that are making a difference in the long run.
