Please forward this to any group you think should have it. We have been trying to collaborate with the large NGO’s since Jan 15. We seemingly get nowhere, no return on phone calls or email.

With great difficulty we are raising funds right now with our partner Racine Kreyòl Cultural Arts for the Families2Families program in Cabaret, Haiti. We expect to be sending a number of buildings soon and will be demonstrating how a mass housing program for transitional shelter could be accomplished in Haiti very quickly nationwide. Our nonprofit registration in Haiti should be accomplished in a few weeks. Our project in Cabaret with Haitian partners, is a 10 acre relocation camp with a number of our VertexTM buildings. We also have 8 buildings funded by a private company going to Cap Haitien in about 5 weeks. Info is available on our website, http://www.prizm.org Our plan is to also start a fabrication/staging area facility for building jobs in Cabaret, Petion Ville and other population centers. Perhaps you have some ideas? We are 501c3 and registered with US CCR.

The VertexTM Building System is Unique in the world. No other building system addresses the criteria in Haiti in such a comprehensive manner. The ability to quickly relocate these buildings addresses the issue of land ownership currently interfering with T-Shelter locations as well as building in general. We have extensive knowledge of disaster situations and the VertexTM Building System erects a building in several hours with roof raising in about 1 minute. It is as very sturdy building designed specifically for Haiti.

Feel free to contact me at anytime to explore collaboration on sustainability and addressing the housing conditions currently being endured in Haiti. We have a number of solutions for T-shelter, Permanent housing, Schools, Evacuation shelters and Haitian job creation. We can produce 1000’s of these buildings very quickly including Haitian job creation in the process.

We address the severe need for shelter while the longer term rebuilding efforts are being planned. As valuable as the 5 – 10 year rebuilding plans currently under consideration are, I spent time in Haiti with people and in particular children that would not live to see these plans materialize. Small level of support through collaborations could move our program along very rapidly and save many Haitian lives.

I am available at any time if you wish to contact me, from your writing it seems like you might be of significant help, I am sure there are many small grassroots organizations that are completely eclipsed by the large organizations as well.

For Haiti,

FOR ONCE HAITIANS WILL NOT BE BLAMED FOR FOREIGNERS MISTAKES OR ACCIDENTAL INTERVENTIONS.

OR….IS THIS A MINUSTAH PROJECT TO CANCEL ELECTIONS?????

Thank you for this site, hope you have a team to help maintain it for the long term. In Haiti we do not seem to think past the present, we are a people that lives in the moment.
Again Thank you

I have been a viewer since 2008

Better and better it get all the time.

Already the hurricaen season is upon us and survivors of the Janvier 12 disaster face floods and disease….little better off than they were 7 months ago.

We must be reminded in order to remember.

Leave the photos where they are.

I don’t know if you live in Haiti or personally experienced the earthquake, 1943 hours, January 12, 2020.

I was there and suffered a broken arm, which is nothing when one understands that almost 500,000 (not 230,000) lives were lost.

Over 250,000 homes were lost.

Over 50,000 people lost limbs (not 3,000).

I attended a memorial servive as Tetanyen, on the road between Port-au-Prince and St. Marc where something over 50,000 were bried in a common grave, dumped there by the truckload, anonymous and unidentified.

Already, the world has forgotten those who died.

The people in Haiti now overlook the mass of Haitians who lost limbs. Haiti is a country with little for the handicapped.

So long as our site illustrates the tragic loss, someone will remember.

Perhaps, a few like you will complain….but, at least, you were forced to remember.

I remember.
