Two New eBooks about The Reconstruction of Haiti: Go Ye Into The Whole World: Glad Tidings to All

Reviews:
1.
"Go Ye Into The Whole World: Oprah’s Next Chapter in Haiti" is a compilation of stories about the missionary and humanitarian travels of celebrities and ordinary people who want to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. For example, Sean Penn, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus etc have been to Haiti. It is also the story of 14 professors and students from Lynn University based in Boca Raton, Florida. Under the auspices of Food for the Poor, they got to Haiti one day before the life-altering quake. "Go Ye Into The Whole World: Oprah's Next Chapter in Haiti" is also about Oprah's efforts to reboot her broadcasting career and keep Haiti's rebuilding in the spotlight. It is about the former talk show queen's visit to Sean Penn's camp. Oprah wants to empower and encourage those who are making a difference in the world.

2.

"The Gengels in Haiti: Go Ye Into The Whole World, Glad Tidings to All" is the story of love, sacrifice, dedication, destruction and redemption. It is also the story of a fortunate young woman who decided to reach out to the less fortunate. Britney Gengel, a Lynn University student, decided to be part of a group of missionaries to Haiti. They arrived 1 day before the Jan.12, 2010 quake that killed more than 300,000 people. Talking to her parents, she wrote, ""They love us so much and everyone is so happy," she wrote. "They love what they have and they work so hard to get nowhere, yet they are all so appreciative. I want to move here and start an orphanage myself." Hotel Montana collapsed on her. Her body was retrieved on Valentine's Day. Broken and saddened by the death of their beloved daughter, the Grengels decided to turn her last wish and dream into reality. Friends, family members and sympathizers have contributed enough funds to start the construction of a state-of-the-art orphanage in Grand-Goave, Haiti. Why this specific site? Find out more about how she responded to the calling and how even in death she is encouraging others while blessing many residents she will never meet.

Oprah Visits Sean Penn's Encampment, Magalie Dresse's Caribbean Craft Art Workshop, and Dines with President Martelly (Sweet Micky)

Oprah Winfrey's Sightings: When The Fame of Hollywood as Represented by Oprah Winfrey, Sean Penn, Fashion Designer Donna Karan Descends to Haiti, Great Things Can Happen.

Purchase a PDF copy of the ebook "Oprah in Haiti: Join Oprah's Hope Corps for a New Haiti"







Read the whole article by clicking on this link

From December 11 to December 13, 2011, Haiti received the visit of a very important members of the American community. Oprah Winfrey decided to pay a visit to her good friend, famous actor Sean Penn. She wanted to embark on the new phase of her lifework. Oprah wanted to visit projects that are making a difference in people's lives. That is why she has been seen in Sean Penn's arms as she went over hills and descended over loose earth and gravels in a Haiti that is reeling from the January 2010 quake. Oprah has decided to use her fame and the power of her name and brand for a good cause. Just a few years after the quake, the plight of the Haitian people continues, but the established media's impact is not there. CNN did a good job reporting during and immediately after the quake. But, its cameras and staff have been busy filming other hot spots. Since the Haitian quake, there have been many other world events that took place. CNN and all the rest of the international media could not dwell on the daily misery of the Haitian people. Nothing to reproach them! That is the nature of the news cycle or news business! Go where there is breaking news!

So it makes sense that important people such as Oprah, Bill Clinton, Sean Penn, Donna Karan and others are carving time out of their busy schedule for Haiti. Haiti needs these people to light an eternal candle for her. She needs investments that will create jobs for her sons and daughters, the survivors of perennial economic hardships and crimes. Everyone hopes that the benefits of these investments will trickle down to the mass. Obviously, due to the lack of infrastructures, many small business owners and entrepreneurs will not be the first ones to see those investments. Better than or equal to remittances sent by Haitians living in the large diaspora, the investments made in Haiti will employ more and more people, thus giving them a reason to say no to risky travels to the States and other nearby islands.

Oprah Visited Caribbean Art Craft Workshop Owner Magalie Dresse



Oprah has an established track record of supporting and empowering women. Her visit to Haiti would not be complete without visiting a woman who is making a difference in Haitians' lives. She decided to spend some time with business owner, Magalie Dresse, who has been running the store and workshop, Caribbean Craft. Oprah realizes that Haiti needs millions of Magalie Dresses who will create opportunities for local artisanat. She realizes that other Hollywood celebs can find true reasons to explain their fame if they decide to work on worthy causes. She is well familiar with the work and efforts of Donna Karan in finding vending venues for Haitian art and clothing.

All we can say is good job to these women for their decision to support this grassroots effort. Haiti only needs open doors and opportunities. Innovative and creative Haitians living on and off the island can do so much more if they are given the opportunity to play with the big boys of trade. So free trade status will help a whole lot.

The same week, Haiti received the visit of many other famous people. Muslim leader, Louis Farakhan, was also in Haiti. He helped bring potable water to a community. Even Kim Kardashian, her mother, sisters and posse were also in Haiti. In order to rebuild Haiti, everyone needs to bring their own little contribution.

President Martelly made Oprah promise to return to Haiti. And she did. So we will see Oprah back in Haiti some day. At least her projects will be there!

Siklòn Irèn (Irene) Frape Pòto Rico: Li Supoze Frape Il Ispagnola (Repiblik Dayiti ak Repiblik Dominikèn)

Siklòn Irèn (Irene) Frape Pòto Rico: Li Supoze Frape Il Ispagnola (Repiblik Dayiti ak Repiblik Dominikèn)
Premye siklòn sezon an rele Irèn. Li s-on siklòn kategori 1. Li vini ak anpil lapli ak van ki kraze poto electrik ak kèk kay. Mwatye nan kay Pòto yo pa gen elektrisite. Otorite Pòtorikèn yo poko di si gen moun ki mouri.
Daprè anpil rapò meteyolojik, Irèn gen pou-l frape Repiblik dominikèn ak Repiblik Dayiti. Lè nou sonje gen plis de 600,000 Ayisyen ki pa gen kay pou pare fòs ak sekous siklòn nan, nou panse pral gen anpil moun k-ap mouri an Ayiti.
Antouka, otorite Ayisyèn yo ap demele yo pou distribye enfòmasyon epi bay moun abri pandan pasaj
siklòn nan. Moun ap monte desann. Y-ap fè pwovizyon. Y-ap achte flash ak manje. Moun ki gen lajan
ap fè sa, men gen anpil moun ki pa gen anyen. Yo pa gen kòb. Y-ap tann manje sinistre ke anpil
òganizasyon entènasyonal distribiye. Si gen siklòn, amplwaye òganizasyon sa yo pa ka sòti. Si yo soti, yo
pa ka ale lwen.
Antouka, n-ap gade pou-n wè ki kalite dega Irèn pral lakòz an Ayiti.
Antretan, Pòtoriken yo ap fè netwayaj nan peyi yo.

Nouvel Sezon Siklòn an Ayiti

Siklòn Emily Ap Frape Ayiti: Alèt Wouj Pou Tanpèt Twopikal, Lapli ak Inondasyon an Ayiti ak Repiblik Dominikèn
Moun k’ap viv nan tant ak joupa an Ayiti ap bay tèt yo traka paske siklòn Emili ap pwoche il Ispayola a. Sant Nasyonal k’ap veye siklòn nan Mayami di anpil lapli ap tonbe sou Ayiti ak Repiblik Dominikani. An Ayiti, lapli konsa ka koze anpil moun mouri.
Depi tranblemandetè ki ti kraze Pòtoprens ak anpil lòt viv ak kominote, moun ap viv nan tijoupa ke nenpòt gwo van ka bwote al jete nan ravin. Pi gwo pwoblèm Ayiti se kesyon lavalas. Mòn yo pa gen pyebwa pou bare dlo k’ap degrengole desann anba nan laplèn yo. Dlo ki soti mòn Boutilye ak tout lòt mòn ki antoure Ayiti pral kraze kay ak tant kominote entènasyonal la te bay Ayisyen. Inondasyon, lavalas vin tounen yon gwo pwoblèm preske pou tout peyi-a. Tout Ayisyen ap soufri konsekans debwazman tèt mòn yo.
Otorite Ayisyèn yo ap mande tout moun pou kite kote ki konn pran dlo yo. Pou evakye moun, Yo voye mesaj bay Ayisyen sou tèks epi telefòn selulè. Yo voye avèti yo.
Lapli kontinye tonbe sou pliziyè rejyon nan peyi. Rejyon Nò peyi-a tankou Atibonit, Kap Ayisyen, Plato Santral etsetera resevwa plizye santimèt lapli.
Sèvis Pwoteksyon Sivil Nasyonal fè yon bon travay pwoteje popilasyon sivil la.
Sanble ke pèp Ayisyen pran yon ti souf paske pa gen anpil dega ki rive fwa sa-a. Otorite prezante yon rapò de yon moun ki te blese.
An nou sonje ke sezon siklòn nan, ki te kòmanse nan mwa jen, ap fini nan fen novanm.

Notes / Nòt: An easy way to understand and express possession in Haitian Creole is to have the noun referring to what is owned followed by the name of the owner. If a pronoun follows a noun, it is used as a possessive adjective.

Ki kote ou prale?  Ki bò ou prale ?
Where are you going ?

M pral kote ou pa konnen – I am going where you do not know

Tann mwen – Wait for me
Non. M pa ka tann ou – No I can not wait for you
Na wè demen – See you tomorrow

Ansyen Prezidan Aristide na wout pou-l tounen an Ayiti aprè-l fin pase anviwon setan (7 ane) an egzil an Afrik disid.  Fanmi li ak zanmi akonpagne-l.  Li pase Dakar, Senegal.  Li pale konsa, "Tout pèp Ayisyen kontan kounye-a. Yo kontan paske yo aprann n-ap tounen..."

Ansyen Prezidan an ap rive an Ayiti dezoutwa jou anvan eleksyon ant Madan Manigat (Mirland Manigat) and chantè Michel Martelly.  Tout patizan Titid yo ap ret tann lidè yo chwazi yonn nan kandida yo.  Kèlkeswa kandida li chwazi a, li gen anpil chans pou-l gen laviktwa nan eleksyon yo.  Malgre li pase toutan sa yo an Afrik disid, Ansyen Prezidan Titid toujou populè pami moun pov an Ayiti.


Antouka, tout moun ap rete tann Aristide an Ayiti.  Anpil moun t-ap di, "Si diktatè Jean Claude Duvalier ka tounen an Ayiti san pwoblèm, Aristide ka retounen tou."

Charlie Sheen pral vizite Ayiti: Sean Penn ap Mennen Charlie Sheen An Ayiti

Sean Penn se bon zanmi Charlie Sheen, aktè Ameriken, ki te sou pwogram "Two and a Half Men."  Charlie tonbe gen pwoblèm ak CBS.  Aprè aktè-a fin bay entèvyou sou ABC, NBC epi kèk pwogram radyo, CBS kase-l.

Charlie Sheen gen yon program sou Entènèt kounye-a.  Li di sa-al vle sou pwogram li.  Petèt Charlie Sheen pral vizite Japon aprè-l fin vizite Ayiti.


Nou swete Charlie Sheen fè menm jan ak zanmi-l Sean Penn.  Oubyen li deside rete nan mitan kan an an Ayiti oswa li deside pale nan non moun sa yo k-ap soufri.
