WYCLEF AND THE QUAKE
2012-01-13 15:51:00 The following is a makeshift documentary of the devastation that took place during the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Musician and producer, Wyclef Jean, and his associates dived head-first into the mayhem to capture what the world had yet to see. It's been two years since and the effects of the quake have rendered the country helpless still. The end of the video lists the harsh reality in numbers: 316K people perished, 300K injured, 1M orphaned children, and 1.2M homeless. Wyclef's foundation Yelé continues to do what it can to offer relief. Don't forget to support!

RITA INDIANA UNITES
2011-11-15 14:51:00 Dominican author/musician, Rita Indiana, has a knack for conveying powerful social commentary in very infectious (and effective) forms. Her latest video, Da Pa Lo Do, which roughly translates to "There's Enough For Both," takes on the controversial subject of Haitian/Dominican racial division. The visuals portray two young "soldiers" scurrying about the Caribbean countryside who are visited by a black-faced (in good taste) Virgin Mary (played by Rita) and reminded of their unified roots. Very powerful!

Different Perspective on the Concrete Issues in Haiti
2011-01-20 05:13:00 The situation as I see it is concrete isn't doable as we know it in Haiti for several reasons. 1. Portland cement is too valuable a commodity. That makes it a target for theft. It also makes it a target for diversion by authorities for all the wrong reasons. It also encourages using less ce

Bill Clinton Should Get Out Of Haiti and Out Of Harlem??
2010-11-20 18:26:00 I received the attached position paper and asked to share with my news network on why Bill Clinton is really no friend to the people of Harlem and definately not a friend of the people of Haiti as his PR would suggest. Bill Clinton: Haiti's neocolonial overlord Ashley Smith Published Nov 17, 2010 US Out of Haiti! Clinton Out of Harlem! - Rally and Speak-out Former US presidents William Jefferson Clinton and George W. Bush with US army general Ken Keen in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The corporate media portrays former president Bill Clinton as a great humanitarian friend of Haiti. The truth could not be more different. He has always supported policies in the interests of multinational corporations and the...

Monsanto, aid and politics
2010-09-10 09:58:00 Two years ago, I published a post about "The World According to Monsanto - The Horror of Commercial GM Crops" which also included a link to a must-see documentary. The documentary showed clearly how Monsanto was encroaching on the seed (and thus food-) markets in developing countries in a pretty straightforward way: they buy up as many seed distributors as possible. Through this network, they offer their GMO seeds - which need their own pesticides to be productive - at a price far lower than... Full post on www.theroadtothehorizon.org

LA & Mr. Music LIVE at the Help Me Help Haiti show
2010-03-20 03:43:00 LA & Mr. Music performed an energetic and emotional set at last week's Help Me Help Haiti event, selectively choosing the songs "Anything Is Possible" (not yet released), "The Stars", and "Number One Provider". The group took the big stage at the Portage Theater and used every square foot of it to entertain the crowd, especially as LA jumped up and down on the sides of the stage. They effectively shared the positive and uplifting messages behind "Anything Is Possible" and "Number One Provider", which especially resonated with the people given the cause of the event. If you could only feel the energy when they called for a moment of silence for Haiti at the beginning of "Number One...

Team Haiti to play in the Chicago World Cup to raise charity money
2010-02-24 07:09:00 Through the French Speaking community in Chicago, I had the chance to meet with several great Haitian People, so at the second I heard about the tragedy, I of course thought of them. I paused a minute, started wondering what we could do to go further in helping their families and their country and then I remembered a couple of years ago, when the Haitian Team played in the Chicago World Cup and I wondered "How many of those guys were there, back home when this happened? How many are still in Chicago but lost a friend, a cousin?". I hope all of them are OK. They are such nice people! It did not take me long to think about...
Finally In Haiti
2010-02-23 03:22:00 We left Santo Domingo this morning excited to reach Haiti and begin work. But two hours later we were stopped at the town of Jaquimeyes, about two hours from the Haitian border. The village decided to block the road with trees and set off firecrackers. A long line of buses and cars were stopped and drivers were trying to negotiate their way through. After nearly an hour and much negotiation, we finally turned around and went the back roads. We finally arrived at Love A Child orphanage in Fond Parisien at 6 p.m. ...

Kim Kardashian Needs a Private Plane When Not Fundraising For Haiti
2010-02-17 16:06:00 I know next to nothing about Miss Kardashian. I've been explained how she's technically famous on several occasions, but always find that it's not information worth retaining. I'm not going to delete memories of fighting as Raphael for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when I was five years old for something so insignificant in comparison.
Watch video 'We Are The World (25 For Haiti)'
2010-02-13 12:13:00 Above is the official video for the remake of "We Are The World" the premiered during the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The song re-defines the term 'various artists' as many of music's biggest names gathered together for the remake that will benefit the people suffering in Haiti.Some scattered thoughts on the song itself... When you put singers like Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion on the same song with autotune-dependent artists like T-Pain, Lil' Wayne, and Akon it really creates quite the contrast... the hip hop section felt kinda forced and the angles became repetitive; LL Cool J got a lotta face time outta this... I really liked Kanye's first few lines... singers that made me...

Now maybe I have never noticed before, or perhaps just didn't care, but never knew Haiti had a little t-shirt factory going on. I felt a little warm inside knowing I had once again contributed to the devastated country...one can only send so many texts.
