My wishes for the year 2009

We are nearing the last day of 2008 meaning by now you should be ready to enter the year 2009. I normally don't like to make wishes 'cause I always end up forgetting about them the first 10 days into it. I do however have some special wishes for Haiti and here it is:

1- I wish it rains in Haiti a moderate rain, so that the land will be prosperous and therefore everyone can grow their own food and therefore provide the nation with their surplus and therefore make money out of it thus stimulate our economy. Then we will be able to sell to other countries and therefore become prosperous.

2- I wish Haitians would get together as one, no matter their skin colors, their religion or ideologies and seat on a table to see what is good for the nation and follow through with it.

3- I wish that all Haitians living abroad keep on sending money to Haiti to stimulate the economy.

4- I wish that all Haitians around the world would get together to promote peace in Haiti, help educate the Haitians, help Haiti to go forward economically.

5- I wish that Haitians living in the US illegally would be granted a Temporary protected Status(TPS) due to all problems we have had with 4 hurricanes, plus political unrest.

TPS allows certain foreign nationals to remain temporarily in the United States when any of the following conditions exist in their home country: there is ongoing armed conflict posing a serious threat to personal safety; it is requested by a foreign state that temporarily cannot handle the return of nationals due to environmental disaster; or when extraordinary and temporary conditions in a foreign state exist that prevent aliens from returning.

Haiti has long met the requirements for TPS, and it is now more vital than ever that the United States extend this helping hand to Haiti, as it has done for other nations in similar situations.

The United States has provided $235 million in aid to Haiti in the past year. This amount is dwarfed, however, by the nearly $1 billion in remittances sent by Haitians back to Haiti, totaling approximately one third of the country's GDP. The repatriation of Haitians will only further hamper Haiti's recovery efforts.(Source Miami Herald).

This is my wish that Haitians all over the world would be granted and stay of deportations where they can work and help their family.

7- I wish that We should work so hard and so efficiently that more tourists would come to visit this wonderful land full of unexploited resources. I wish that we start helping ourselves and not wait all the time for foreign nations.

6-More than ever I wish that Haitians would turn their face to God and proclaim him the king of kings and their savior in him and him alone their would place their faith. Without God we are bound to failure! No ifs, buts and ands about it!

It is time we start getting back on our feet so much that we start helping nations who have been helping us for so many years such as the USA, Canada etc... This blog is not about politics it is about lifting up the country of Haiti! Let's join hands together and let others know that there is more to Haiti than what is portrayed in the media.

May God bless you and have a happy new year! If you have a wish please let us know about it by posting it here.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Jesus is the reason for the season!
Some people say happy holiday but me I say have a Jesus filled Christmas! We are celebrating the birthday of the king who came to die for our sins! I wanna say thank you to God for his grace and mercy and a special thank you to his song Jesus!

May you enjoy it and know if it had not been for the Jesus, there would be no Christmas and we all would have been still bound in our sins!

Yon ti koze pesonèl avèk Aysyen yo! (Heart to heart talk with my fellow Haitians)

Lè m'ap gade kijan pèp Ayisyen soufri e kijan malgre tout bagay yo toujou gen yon bel souri sou vizaj yo! Le mwen gade kijan Ayiti ap degrade men nou toujou kenbe lespwa! Lè mwen gade kijan malgre tout sityasyon politik, ekonomik ak sosyal pèp Ayisye toujou kenbe fèm! Mwen realize ke se sèl Bondye ki Bondye! Si se pa te li tout moun tap fou! Lajan pa ba ou bonè! Li ka achte bèl kay pou ou, fè ou gen gwo relasyon men si ou pa Bondye nan lavi-w ou chire!
Ayiti, an nou leve Bondye pi wo! AN nou chèche pwisans li ak prezans li konsa peyi nou an ap sispann fe pa an aryè!

Konnen nou pa konnen ki jan peyi nou an rich, konnen nou pa konnen kijan peyi a bèl! Mwen swete nou tout yon bon fèt nwèl ak yon lerez ane!

Chak moun gen fason pa'l ke li ka ede Ayiti! Mwen menm sa mwen fe se ankouraje moun vini an Ayiti, Adopte timoun an Ayiti epi aprann istwa peyi-a! Yo pale mal de Ayiti anpil kote men yon moun ki li blog mwen yo ap we ke byen ke Ayiti gen anpil bagya ki pa bon nan li (tankou tout lot peyi), li gen anpil bon bagay ke pa gen anpil moun kin konnen. Mwen ekzpoze move yo men mwen mete plis aksan sou bon yo! Ayiti se yon bel ti peyi wi si ou konnen kote pou-w ale! Pèp Ayisyen an se yon pèp ki renemen akeyi moun dan la mezi ke ou montre li respè! Mwen fiè de ou Pèp Ayisyen! Mwen fyè de peyi mwen!

Mwen toujou ekri an anglè, paske plan mwen se pou mwen fè moun ki pale anglè yo konnen sa kap pase an Ayiti e pou yo ka aprann apresye'l! Mèsi pou tout sipo moral nou! Ayiti ou pap mouri ou gen pou-w leve kanpe! Nan non Jezi!

Calling on Lord's blessings for Haiti

Wherever you are! Please take a moment to pray for Haiti! We need a lot of things but more than ever, we need God to pour out his blessings on us!
Let us proclaim it and believe it!

The bible clearly states and I quote:"If My people which are called by My name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land"
2 Chronicles 7: 14

Haiti you are blessed in the name of Jesus!
Amen!

You can make a difference this Christmas!

Christmas a time of joy! Whether you want it or not it brings joy to you! Unfortunately there are a lot of people in this time who are suffering from hunger while others are having a feast and throwing their food in the garbage. I know all over the world including the big industrial countries not every one celebrate Christmas with happiness and it is unwillingly but since my focus is Haiti, I would like to thank specially any of you who participated in a way or the other to help send some joy to Haiti by sending gifts, food, clothes, medicines or anything to Haiti kids during this time. I just want to let you know that no matter how much you contributed you are making a difference! I am issuing a challenge to you to come up with a project to make this Christmas special to some kids. If you want some ideas I will be glad to help you out! If you are a teacher, have your kids do it as a class project, encourage your church to do something as well.

Please let it be understood that this is not of this scam where people ask to send them money I am not accepting anything. Since I am from Haiti I can give you some ideas as to how to send stuff to Haiti but it is up to you to decide how you want to help. There are many churches, Non Governmental Organization, orphanages etc... that would appreciate your help.

Please, let us know how you have been helping by posting here!

Have a merry Christmas and thank you for making a difference!
