Give a Gift to Haiti for the Holidays

Give a Gift to Haiti for the Holidays

An Appeal by Dr. Ron Daniels, Founder of the Haiti Support Project

January 12, 2013 will mark the third anniversary of the disastrous earthquake which devastated major sections of Haiti, killing an estimated 200,000 people, maiming thousands more and dramatically increasing the number of orphans in a nation where millions of children suffer from the ravages of poverty. The cameras and media spotlight are gone now, and Haiti is hardly in the news these days.  And, despite billions of dollars pledged by the international community and private donors (some of which have yet to be received) far too little progress has been made to repair the damages of the earthquake and to build a new and better Haiti.

Since 1995, the Haiti Support Project has focused on building a constituency for Haiti in the U.S. among people of African descent to  partner …

Haiti Pilgrimage Delegation
January 17 – 21, 2012

Please Add Me to HSP Mailing List
 
I Would Like to Contribute to the Cause

Communiqué

Two years after the earthquake which devastated the world’s first Black Republic, the Haiti Support Project (HSP) led a diverse delegation of  thirty-eight(38) business, faith, labor, civil rights/human rights leaders, journalists and educators to Haiti to assess the status of the recovery and reconstruction; establish constructive channels of communication and working relations with the Government of President Michel Joseph Martelly; and review the progress of  projects sponsored or supported by HSP. Many of the participants were first time visitors to Haiti. Some described it as a “life changing” experience. We were particularly honored to have distinguished educator and leader Queen Mother Dr. Adelaide Sanford be part of the delegation. Everywhere we went, Queen Mother Sanford was immediately embraced by the Haitian people as she spoke …

Haiti Support Project Leads “Pilgrimage” Delegation to Haiti

Haiti Support Project Leads “Pilgrimage” Delegation to Haiti
Group to Assess Progress of Recovery/Reconstruction
And Promote Investment in Cultural-Historical Tourism

Statement by Dr. Ron Daniels, President, Institute of the Black World 21st Century, Founder, Haiti Support Project

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose birthday we commemorate in the U.S. with a National Holiday January 16, we believe an injury to our sisters and brothers anywhere in the world is an injury to all.  Therefore, January 17-21, 2012 (two years after the devastating earthquake) the Haiti Support Project (HSP) will lead a delegation of thirty-seven (38) African Americans and Haitian Americans to Haiti to assess the progress of the recovery/reconstruction and explore ways to engage people of African descent from the U.S. in the process of building the new Haiti.  This is not a new mission for HSP. Since 1995 we have been dedicated to …

Remember Our Sisters and Brothers
Two Years after the Devastating Earthquake 


Dear Friend in the struggle:

As we approach the second anniversary of the devastating earthquake (January 12, 2012), things have improved somewhat in Haiti but our sisters and brothers still need your help. It will take at least ten years to overcome the disastrous effects of the earthquake to build a better Haiti.  Now that Haiti is no longer in the spotlight of the mainstream media, your help/contributions are needed more than ever before.…

Pilgrimage and Assessment Delegation

October 7-11, 2010

Prepared by Dr. Ron Daniels

 

October 7-11, the Haiti Support Project (HSP) led its third Delegation to Haiti since the fateful earthquake of January 12th.  The atmosphere was in marked contrast to HSP´s Third Annual Pilgrimage in October of 2009 when there were signs of a much brighter future for Haiti and its people.  A year ago there were clear indicators that after a period of political stability, relative security and greater transparency and accountability by the government, conditions were ripe for modest economic growth and new levels of international investment. There was optimism in the air.  Everything changed after January 12th.  Now, with the assistance of the international community, Haiti´s fragile governmental and private institutions face the awesome challenge of lifting the people and nation out of the abyss of one of the most devastating catastrophies ever …

Post Haiti Crisis

The Haiti Support Project´s Position on the Continuing Crisis In Haiti

The Haiti Support Project (HSP) has consistently maintained that the U.S. orchestrated ouster of Jean Bertrand Aristide, the first democratically elected President in Haiti´s history, and the subsequent disruption of constitutional rule was morally and politically wrong and destructive of the process of building a culture of democracy. Under growing pressure at home and within the international community, President Aristide had accepted the CARICOM proposal for power sharing and a functional division of labor between the President and Prime Minister. The CARICOM proposal provided for monitoring by the international community to ensure that all of its provisions would be adhered to, with the understanding that actions against President Aristide would be forthcoming should he renege on his commitment.

The CARICOM proposal was also temporarily embraced by the U.S., France, Canada and the European Union. Despite the fact that President …
