Little Haiti Demographic Analysis

This passage is from the beginning of the book, and it gives the reader some insight into the complexity of Farmers life and how it almost seems as if he lives in two completely different worlds, poverty-stricken Haiti and upperclass Boston, and enjoys both. It also gives the reader a good description of Farmer’s character by expressing the fact that he would much rather assist the poor and live among them than help those who have never experienced poverty. To express this idea, the writer compared the “pleasant” Boston suburb to “the wasteland of central Haiti” and added that he could tell, just through listening, that Farmer enjoyed Haiti more. This passage also does a great job of setting up the remainder of the book by using dialogue to

Haiti, located on the Island of Hispaniola between Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, shares the island with the Dominican Republic. With a population of seven million and an area of 10, 714 square miles, it is about the size of Maryland. The capital and largest city, Port-Au-Prince, has a population of more than 800,000 (Factsheet, 2003). The per capita annual income is $ 248, with a daily wage rate of three dollars.

In the spring of 1942, I had the advantage to pass a wonderful week in Haiti. I was accompanied by Leslie R. Holdrige a young engineer and a botanist.

Over 75% of people in Haiti are in poverty due to many reasons including a lack in education. Why don’t they go to school? Well they have to walk to school, which is 2 miles to and 2 miles back most of the time(Not to mention without good water or food). Adding buses would be amazing for Haiti since it erases the long walk, and many kids can get to school faster and easier. That will make it so more kids can go to school. So, in the long run, this will create more jobs, hopefully sparking the economy and possibly getting Haiti back to being a functional country. This is a long shot, but even if it doesn’t work, this it will at least get more kids in school.

The current therapeutic frame reflects the professional values and attitudes for working with an early childhood population. The population specifically is Haitian children three to five years of age. The children are part of a local head strat program located in Miami, FL. The children's first language is Krio and often have difficulties with the English language. An element that will affect my therapeutic frame for working with this population is the Haitian culture. Furthermore, there are fundamental principles in the Haitian culture that translate to respect and honor. For example, in the Haitian culture children are taught not make eye contact as a sign of respect. Another aspect of their culture is greeting each other with a kiss on the

Haiti is the second largest Caribbean Island. It occupies a third of the western part of the island it shares with the Dominican Republic. Haiti is also made up of several islands that surround the main territory. The capital is Port-au-Prince. It rains between November and March in the North of the island and between May and October in the South. “Once covered by forest, the country has been heavily logged for wood and fuel and to clear land for farming, and is now largely deforested.” Haiti is divided into “nine administrative departments.” Besides the capital, other important cities are Cap-Haitien and Gonaives.  “Haiti is the most densely populated country in Latin America and has the lowest per

Haiti is a small country on the island of Hispaniola, which is located in the Caribbean Sea. The country is very prone to hurricanes, cyclones and other natural disasters. Haiti is very prone to having natural disaster breakouts, and using advanced technology could aid in Haiti’s disaster relief efforts by providing long-term information about potential natural disasters, improve communication capabilities and online tools to help aid Haiti during times of natural disaster.

In a important decision, the Dominican Republic's Constinutional Court in September 2013 stripped 210,000 people--most of whom are Dominicans born from parents of Haitian decant leaving them stateless. children born to undocumented Haitian immigrants in the Dominican Republic are not eligible for Dominican citizenship as of September 23, 2013 (Arbichold 2013). The court, permitted by law, made actions that the Dominican people in charge had already been making for the past 15 years - immediately and then in an organized way denying citinzenship to people of of Haitian people . The court ruled that a person born in the Dominivsn Republic to Haitian parents, was not Dominican. The court also ordered a scan of the civil registry to classify

Not long after Haiti became the first black independent country in 1804, they established a constitution that, among many other things, set forth its goals for education. The Constitution stated, “Education should be free. Primary education shall be compulsory... State education shall be free at every level.” They have never been able to reach that goal! Getting an education in Haiti today is very difficult for most families especially in the mountains. Nearly 33 percent of children between the ages of 6 and 12 (500,000 children) do not attend school, and this percentage climbs to 40 percent for children ages 5 to 15. For most children in the rural and mountainous areas of Haiti, this rate is much higher as most have to work to support their

THIS PAPER IS PRESENTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE REQUIREMENT OF THE COURSE “OTHER WORLD CIVILIZATIONS”

My Final Exam is about my country Haiti that is in the caribbean/ island with Beautiful places and beautiful People. Some Special Facts about my country is that Haiti makes up the Western one- third of hispaniola. The symbols of haiti is that on the Flag they show you that three on each side which are Located in front of a Palm Tree and cannons. The Language that We spoke is Haitian creole and French. On January 1, 1804 Dessalines declared the nation independent and renamed it Haiti. Toussaint L’ouverture was a Leader of the Haitian Independence Movement during the French revolution. He fought to end Slavery and gain independence from european powers, France and spain. Francois Duvalier was Born on April 14, 1907 in Port- au- prince, Haiti.

Haiti was once the first black independent republic in the world and the richest island in the Caribbean. Today Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest countries in the world. What could have happened to Haiti in almost two hundred years of history? The country experienced repeated civil war and foreign intervention. Haiti is not isolated from the international world. Thus, it was not out of concern for ordinary Haitians that the United States intervened in Haiti. It was out of concern for profit and stability within the United States' own backyard. The purpose of this paper is to show the negative aspect that the United States had played in the government of Haiti.

NGOs, or non governmental organizations are hurting the fight to end poverty because the free services and goods they provide destroy small business and give the people in said areas the wrong mindset.

09/16/16 was the date that my mother told me that I have to go Haiti. “What for “ I couldn't believe it “ I have 3 AP classes! are you serious?! Please don't make me go” I remember pleading her. It was for immigration purposes, in order to stay I had to get my permanent residence or else I had to say goodbye to this land that has being home for 6 years.

Why, is there so much hunger, in such a little country? Once a promising land, a land full of hope, full of life and full of laughter. The Haitian people amongst each other are known for their folktales and comedy, when one says, “krik the other replies, Krak” and the jokes begins. Out of all the Caribbean nation, Haiti once stand with great pride, it flourishes with foods but more so with beauty. So how did this little country, once so promising became so, desolate? Seems like every time Haiti is featured in the news, their say it’s the poorest country in the world. each year Haiti get ripped off by a new scammer, by those who pretend to care but, wish to keep the people under oppression. The Haitians are used to the abuse, so they stay in silence. If you tell someone they poor most of their life, even though they are rich eventually, they will believe they are poor.
