News from a family in city soleil!
Last week was July 10th, a day of beach have been organized by PINP from aboard partner. As one of PINP staff , I judge that was a wonderful idea because 90% people in city soleil never have chance going to beach. So, a family of seven people went to the beach for the first time in their life and they were very happy to go there.
first, There is a little girl from 9 years named Naphetalie Jean, she says” since my childhood is for the first day I am going to the ocean and I have been delighted going together with my family and I am able to say thanks to my sweet partner Cathy who has allowed me to attend the beach and helped me about all.
I have been enjoying with my family in the sea and made a tour over rowing boat, I was really happy to move in it because that was a new experience in my life and so does my family. so, I have been swimming, eating, ruining, drinking and relaxing myself.
I congratulate my partner to think of me that way and all people in the area was happy and appreciate that big work PINP is doing in Haiti. Be sure, if I did not go, I would have been sorry. So, I would like the other kids in PINP making same experience like me. By the way, one of my cousin went with us and is her first time going to the beach also”.
Me , as Marcel I think that was a good moment for that family because they were relaxing themselves. Haiti is a country where everybody is stressful after the horrible earthquake and need a place to enjoy. So, I hope is not only that family have privilege to go to spend a day of picnic but other family also. To be end, everybody from that Naphetalie’s family was happy and hope to get back other day.

April 16, 2010 News about the trafic In Haiti ( city soleil)
Since last tuesday 13, 2010 after the speech of the president of the Republic, life is becoming more difficult for the Haitian people. And the price of Gas has been increasing immediately in all gas stations. so, that's with much difficulty for a Driver having gas to buy. You can see many people are using gallon to buy gas to save home and you have to struggle to buy one gallon of gas ,a gallon of gas cost 400 gourdes and they do not want to sell to a driver more than 1.000 gourds gas which can not doing anything for a day and making trafic difficult all over around here For example: at Delmas 48 a body death in a gas station with a bullet and two more at Carrefour Marassa fighting to buy gas. they are selling the gas about midnight with their own friends. A person might be standing for a tap- tap during 1 or 2 hours of times and you have to fight to take a tap- tap. For example: last wednesday i went to the Delmas 75 with a couple of children from city soleil to come up at the mini-center. so, Every tap-tap i have been stopping , one of them did not want to take us because of missing of gas and i had money to pay for everyone. so , the girls were sad to not able to get in the tap-tap. I remember the first week of April , I rent a private tap-tap to come up to the mini- ecnter with the girls partners, they felt well and happy but the driver did not get back to pick us up. One of the girl is Naphetalie Jean, she is ten ( 10) years. she would like PINP having a mini-bus to transport all partners from city soleil to the mini- center specially with easily. then , she said: it looks danger to take public tap-tap cause we are too little to struggle to take tap-tap. she is thinking is so important for all aboard partners know that situation and thinking a way to help us with a mini bus. And the other girls hope PINP is going to find out away to go up at the office safely.
I see PINP program is very exicted and helping people here to change their living condition. so, what Naphetalie has explaining is really necessary and has much value, they have been talking to each other in the tap- tap during where are going in the office . I think every aboard parts who are reading that news blog will be going to think about. I know all haitians partners will be proud of you if you will help PINP has the mini bus. so, The gas trouble will be resolved by May 2th, says Preval admitration:

April 5, 2010 "Reopening of the class in city Soleil"
Since the first day of the horrible Tremor January 12, 2010 all schools are closed here.About 30.000 students are passed away, a lot of private like public without counting priest and nun schools are devastated. So, the Ministry of national education has decided to publish a date of the reopining of the school everywhere in Haiti. day ,which was January 5th. But, one month after the earthquake, many schools have been already working almost all over in the provinces towns. just as: Cayes, Jeremie, cap Haitian, Mirbalais, Petit-goave ect. so, many children were obliged to leave PAP to go to school to that country house not loose the school year. Evantually, school has been restarting the 5th, about 2% children went to school for the first weeks , but for the second weeks about 40% are attending to school in city soleil. I am able to tell until now one, a lot of schools which were cracked are not fixing up yet and that represents a big danger for the students. You can see a few schools just starting re-build in wood and cover with sheet metal. In city soleil not too many schools devastated but some are cracked and the students look still scare going in those schools. Haitian govenment, some big relief organizations have been promessing tents to some schools until now one, any of them does not receive anything. A few parents estamate under tents are so hot and they are thinking the children could not learning that way. I met with three school girls went to school. one of them is Isberline st louis, she is 10 years, is living in city soleil 17 and is in 4th grade. she says" I have been sorry about what's happened to my country but life has to continue again and without school there is no chance for a country moving. It's true my school is hit a bit by the tremor but I am obliged to go there in spit of i know apart of the wall in the school is no good i have to learn. I think God will protect my etablishment from the evil. I have many friends are coming to school and so scare, when they are feeling something moving in the class room, they feel like to run out. I think they can not learn like that. I ask myself when everything will be done?" the other one is Phyrie Franel- 13 old years and she is in 3rd and they are in same school together.

Village Rapatrie
Last week, I had a possibility to pay a visit to a block named village Rapatrie. This is a zone inside of Cite Soleil, so the horrible earthquake has not hit it too much, but a lot of houses are devastated. I saw a tent city where people make their tents with plastic and sheets. That's so sad to see the way people are living. They never receive any help from the big relief organizations like local one. They have problems for water, food, shelter, health care, etc. They tell me when it's raining it is a big challenge, because inside their plastic shelters there is much water with mud. You can see babies are sleeping in the mud, and young boys are playing dominoes. That's really lamentable. There were two churches there that are broken down during the tremor and some schools too. I think those people really need help and need to have people thinking of them, and there are about 250 people are living in that tent city. They grow plantains, sugar cane, and mangoes to survive.
That area is not developping yet because not too many people are interested in helping there. They have told tme, it should be great to find some organizations thinking and helping them with whatever.

It was Saturday early in the morning from 3: 00 Am to 7: 00 Pm, was raining in the south of country. So, many countries have been devastating by flooding. Just as cavaillon, st Louis of south. But there are also other countries have been touching by even that flooding. For example: Jacmel, Jeremie, Baradere, Grand Goave etc. Among all those towns Aux Cayes has been more touching. A ten of people have been dying, many houses have been destroying, many animals, gardens have been also devastating without counting missing people and other hurt. And the people were obliged to run away to the mountain just to save their life with their family.
Now, they have all lost and they are out of shelters. So, event cause by the rivers which overflow down there but not by the ocean. So, those people could not make any protestation close to the Haitian government because the government has no possibility to help because everybody is touched by even that tremor.
By the way, house is still collapsing and about 9: 55 Am this morning, there were a little bit quake but no damage. A couple of people say: the end of everything is up.

One month after the terrible earthquake, I met with a little boy (10) years old. His name is Mykender Balthazar and he has two little brothers. He says: " I am living in City Soleil for 4 years with my mother. So, I lost his dad when I was one month old. While the earthquake happened I was playing soccer in front of my home with a friend of mine, and at same time I felt the ground shake and was running inside of my home. Then several bricks felt down on me and my left foot was broken. My friend who was close to me died. Right away my father-in-law went to the hospital with me. There I had an operation and after 5 days i got back home and that moment was horrible for me. Two weeks after the operation I was starting to suffer a lot and til now I am Much suffering. I cannot make any movement with my foot. The doctor asks me to move it. What's more difficult that's to care of it every three days. Now, i am sleeping in a camp inside of a church with my mom, close to my house. In spite of the way i am, I still have my dream to become a singer. I would like to say to everybody who is watching that history that Jan 12th is an unforgettable day in my life til i pass away. By the way, there is a problem for water and food where I live. I hope school will start some day soon because i need to enjoy myself because I am always stressful.

Last night it was raining everywhere in the capital. A lot of people were so worried because 95% of their shelters are in sheets. For Exemple: I am in a sad situation where i could not sleep together with my family, and we were scared going to stand under the cracked house. And I continued standing until about 1: 16 AM. Children like adults had many difficulties to take their rest. The biggest problem is that we are going to enter the rainy season, and the Preval administration does not say anything yet for the population.
How long Haiti will take to re- build?
Every night my friends, family and I are praying that it does not rain, because things look really lamentable for people who are living close to Port-Au-Prince.
About the food distribution: the way they the big relief organizations such as the UN and American soldiers are making operation to distribute the food is good, but not all people are getting food. Also, they give people only rice, and they also need beans, spaghetti, oil, candles etc.
This morning they have been distributing food in City Soleil, but several people whispered because they had no ticket to take food. The person in charge to deliver the tickets prefered to sell them for $ 50 Ht. ($7.15 US), according to some people in the population.
I think the big organizations need to work with the local organization, like ours, to make everything operational.

The school just starts, the girls have received supplies and school fees. But, they have problem to go to school because of shoes. So, they really need that kind of thing to wear to attend school. I think that a big problem for our people in Need partners (girls). Everytime, they come to the mini-Center, they told me, when do they go to school? They would like to have a shoes program and they hope that will be better.
By the way, the same way a car can’t move without tires, It is the same for the school girls Haitian Partners. And I think they will be happy if PINP create a work page where the abroad partners can thinking how to help their kids partners about that sad problem where the Haitian girls are in?

News: Summer camp!!! ( Cite soleil )
As usual, every summer holiday, Action Chretienne and Conocs still organize summer camp for the young boys and girls to enjoy themselves because city Soleil is a strategic area. So, anyway, during holiday the children have to have a place to learn so many disciplines like music, game, jump to the rope, singing, sharing ideas, telling history, sewing ect. So, they receive a warm meal a day from other organization. That help the young think positively. There are many other are not going to the camp and they stay in the street in their block just playing cards, marbles for money. That discipline is organizing in three ( 3) schools.
Action Chretienne school, Maranatha and school music about the school, the children are dividing into three categories. Beginner, Mini-Harmony and Excellent. There are about 21 volunteer teachers who are teaching them. There are about 250 children in that camp. They are enjoying to make acquaintance one another because they are coming from different area in the city. For them, that’s a great initiative from Action Chretienne and Conocs staff. There is a boy whose name is Herode Cadet who says” I am 16 years old. I am so happy to be lucky to get involve in that program that I judge which is very interested because I am learning new thing I never known in my life. If I stayed home or in the neighborhood, I would be stressful. They teach me good manner which is thing I did not know. They teach how to be honest. They preach love for all. For me, that looks a big opportunity to be participate in it. I hope I will get involve at any time they do it again this coming year.
Life is such difficult here, is not all school which has chance to do that kind of thing. That camp has been starting for july 20th, and will be finishing August 20th, there were much difficulty at the beginning because there was no food for the kids. Situation in city Soleil is very sad.

News Mothers City Fekere (city soleil)
First, there is a block in side of city Soleil called city Fekere .There are about 5000 people are living down there, the rate of alphabet arise at 2% percent. So, People in need is developing a relation ship program there for one year with child like adult. So, due to that reason ship ten with (10) mothers. Nine of them went to the literacy class in the afternoon time thanks to their partners and one is death. They spent about six months in afternoon school , two days a week ( Tuesday, Wednesday). Some of them went to school and stopped in 3rd grade, some never go in their life.
Now, they know how to read and to write their names, they learn number, twenty- eight (28) alphabet letters and six vowels. They were so happy to attend the afternoon class in spite of all their responsibilities they have, they learn the way they can.
There is a mother named Marlène Chery who says” I had no chance to go to school since my childhood and was always sad when I saw other kids went to school. Finally I grew up like that. The biggest problem I had before when my children are receiving report cards from their school, I could not sign their report cards, I just did a cross sign. Today, thanks to PINP I take the challenge off, not only I can write my name, am also able to identify numbers and letters. I would like the literacy school to continue again.
Another one whose name is Walking Labonte says” I stopped going to school in 3rd grade because my parents could not help me. Now, that’s a great opportunity fro me to continue. Today I can read and write better like before.
That’s already a big step in my life during six months that spent in literacy class. So, I love the way my teacher tough me . In my opinion, I am thinking that PINP is doing a great job in cite Soleil. So, all mothers were so proud to attend in the afternoon class and hope that program will expand in the city and they thank to their partners without forgetting people in need staff also.

First, there is a block in side of city Soleil called city Fekere .There are about 5000 people are living down there, the rate of alphabet arise at 2% percent. So, People in need is developing a relation ship program there for one year with child like adult. So, due to that reason ship ten with (10) mothers. Nine of them went to the literacy class in the afternoon time thanks to their partners and one is death. They spent about six months in afternoon school , two days a week ( Tuesday, Wednesday). Some of them went to school and stopped in 3rd grade, some never go in their life.
Now, they know how to read and to write their names, they learn number, twenty- eight (28) alphabet letters and six vowels. They were so happy to attend the afternoon class in spite of all their responsibilities they have, they learn the way they can.
There is a mother named Marlène Chery who says” I had no chance to go to school since my childhood and was always sad when I saw other kids went to school. Finally I grew up like that. The biggest problem I had before when my children are receiving report cards from their school, I could not sign their report cards, I just did a cross sign. Today, thanks to PINP I take the challenge off, not only I can write my name, am also able to identify numbers and letters. I would like the literacy school to continue again.
Another one whose name is Walking Labonte says” I stopped going to school in 3rd grade because my parents could not help me. Now, that’s a great opportunity fro me to continue. Today I can read and write better like before.
That’s already a big step in my life during six months that spent in literacy class. So, I love the way my teacher tough me . In my opinion, I am thinking that PINP is doing a great job in cite Soleil. So, all mothers were so proud to attend in the afternoon class and hope that program will expand in the city and they thank to their partners without forgetting people in need staff also.

News – Fountain ( City Soleil)
City Soleil is always one of the biggest areas here. Has known much problem about potable water. A black over populate. And the people down there still have a big difficulty to consummate water, when the ex-President Aristide elected to the power in 1991. He went to pay a visit in city Soleil, first time, and saw the biggest problem of the population. That was purification water. So, a few months later, he built a big fountain in entrance of the city and several others little fountains in different areas to give safe water for the population. After coup of President Aristide in 1991, City Soleil was up set with a lot of violences. And the technicians who worked to care of the fountain were obliged to give up this place. So, 4/4 years later the tank filtered and water was becoming unsafe. Inspire of that, the people were obliged to use it because they did have no another choice, at that time, one big bucket cost 50cent Ht. and they always had running water often. Now the population has water sometime and the population pays one big bucket for 2 gourdes when no running water at all, they pay a big bucket for 5 gourdes in a private fountain. So, according to a young lady, she tells “I have been living here for 10 years. I am doing nothing to make a living. I have 3 children. Each time I am giving that king of water do my kids it make them sick, for example” fever, diarrhea, bellyache.
There is sometime I am getting up I do not have even a penny and no water home, in that time, I do not know what to do”
There is a place they sell purification water but 5 gallons of water cost 30 gourdes. It is not all people who have that amount of money. I hope a day city Soleil will have good water in it and every body will be happy.
