What are the conditions in Haiti?

I know I am ignorant of conditions in Haiti, so my “solutions” may not work at all. Please take them as a straw man set of actions we can do.

 

When I was a 11 year old I got a paper route with the Denver Post. That job was hard work, but to Me it was freedom.  My family had sufficient money, but we were raised to be self sufficient. I could now indulge myself with things like gas powered model planes. I was the typical lazy, 11 year old, but I worked. From that job I bought a “paperboys” bicycle, then a Vespa motor scooter. I had a cardboard box between my legs full of papers.

 

I found out I derived a lot of status from that motor scooter in Jr. High School. Since Colorado allowed 14 year olds to be licensed for motor scooters, there we quite a few parked at helpful household near school.

 

My point is that “Greed” hooked me at an early age and it worked out for me.

 

I think if given the opportunity it could work for others.

 

 

What can the kids of Haiti do to achieve a similar result and what would an acceptable outcome be?

 

My preconceived notion is that being able to provide for themselves, partially or fully is the desired result.

 

My additional notions of achieving an education and employment via the web, may be too long range to attract attention.

 

What are more appropriate goals?  Let me help.

 

And others will want to help also.  Not necessarily charity, you have something many desire, an understanding of Haiti. And sure, charity.

 

The process is called brainstorming, where an idea is submitted, and it stimulates others to have similar, possibly better ideas.
