Water is the first priority!


Water is the first priority for Haiti and Gonave. Given that so many illnesses are from water, and given the severe lack of water, I think this is where the attention should be given first. Given that a water purification plant, pumping stations, etc are extremely expensive some NGO's, or Non-Governmental Organizations, are building a series of wells throughout the country. While this is a great start, it doesn't help the country or the island of Gonave attract tourist or industry.
Above is my idea of how to start Gonave off with a strong and steady supply of water. By having these large water storage tanks you are able to get factories to come, which will employ the local population. By having these large water storage tanks you don't have to worry about the massive expense of building treatment plants and the ongoing capital cost that are associated with it. So how do you supply the water tanks with water? Why not have water right agreements with the US, Puerto Rico, and Dominican Republic? These three nations can be used to supply the water storage tanks. Now the upfront costs are the tanks, some major utilities, a ship that can hold water, and water trucks to deliver the water. My idea is to build half a dozen of these water tanks, close to the shore so that the water can be directly pumped to the tanks from the ship. These tanks will then support a nearby industrial park. Possibly have one or more tanks reserved for the general public. Now how do you get the water from the tanks to households? See below.
These trucks can deliver water to houses and shops. Initially you could build a mini water tower that will hold water, and then connect several houses and businesses to that water tower. These trucks will then refill the water towers. Just throwing some thoughts out there.

Carnival Cruise to build port in Haiti/Carnival Cruise yo bati pò an Ayiti

I remember early on when writing this blog, I stated that Gonave should have a cruise company build a port in Gonave, and it would be a major boost to Gonave's economy.  I was told by a local group who wants to turn Gonave into its own country, that I was incorrect.  They said cruise companies don't build ports and that the local municipality has to do that.  Of course that is incorrect!   I knew this because once taking a cruise myself Carnival mentioned they built a port in Cuba and are waiting for the US to overturn somethings so that cruises from America to Cuba can happen.  So again Gonave, be sure you know who you are listening to, and what their goals are.  Here at Let's Build Gonave Haiti, we have a core group that does research before we speak. With that said, Carnival is building a port in Northern Haiti.  Check out the information here .  Now some feel cruise companies take the profits back to their home countries.  While that is true, it can help with jobs, a

La Gonave could serve as the template for all of Haiti

Image
La Gonave has an opportunity to do it right the first time.  Meaning that if the right people get involved and their goal is to help the Haitians to help themselves, then La Gonave could serve as the template for Haiti. La Gonave has many advantages over the mainland.  For one, with a smaller population the needs of food, housing, water, etc are less, so programs that are developed could easy cover this small population.  La Gonave is a blank canvas, so streets can be placed based on results that other cities around the world have tried.  La Gonave can build it's economy on just about any industry, although tourism and agriculture are probably the prime industries.  The list goes on and on. My point is that if done correctly, and La Gonave is a modern and vibrant place.  If La Gonave could have the majority of it's population literate, and that there are enough schools for every child.  If La Gonave could have a strong economy similar to the Bahamas, then it would serve as

Flag of Gonave?

Image
I created the image below.  I will explain why I choose the colors I choose. So three basic color were chosen to represent the future island nation of Gonave, which are yellow, sky blue, and green. I did research on flags, and why colors should be chosen, what colors shouldn't be put on a flag, the meaning of colors, how not to over complicate a flag, and make sure that a made can easily be remember by school age kids. So here it is, and I will explain the colors. First off, the green portion of the flag represents the green lush vegetation of the island.  It also means a land rich with fertile soil which provides the energy of it's people. The blue portion represents the bright skys over the island of Gonave.  The color is a sky blue, which shows a cloudless day, one with no storms, but of a clear day.  It also means that the sky is the limit.  Finally yellow represents the sun.  The sun is shining on a lush green nation on a cloudless day, and show a bright fu
