No substandard schools or structures on Gonave! Gonave Elementary School / Pa gen lekòl medyòk oswa estrikti sou Gonave! Gonave Elementary School

If you look at some buildings from Africa, to South America, to Haiti, and you will see groups who build substandard structures made of primitive mud brick concrete blocks.  Usually you will see very rough looking cement that isn't smoothed down.

While some would say, hey in a place with little resources, and money, any help is a good thing.  I disagree!  If you are going to do something, do it correctly the first time.  Don't build structures that scream "poor people in a poor country".

For example if a large elementary school is built in Gonave, it could be built using wood, however it needs to look very professional.  I took photos of a large facility being built made of wood near Rio Rancho, NM.  This would be a very professional but affordable building to build.


Let's never settle, and be sure to strive for the best.

Go Gonave!

Si ou gade nan kèk bilding soti nan Lafrik di, nan Amerik di Sid, an Ayiti, e ou pwal wè gwoup ki bati estrikti medyòk te fè nan primitif brik labou blòk siman. Anjeneral ou pral wè anpil graj kap siman ki pa lis desann.

Pandan ke gen kèk ta di, hey nan yon kote ki ak resous ti kras, ak lajan, nenpòt ki ede se yon bon bagay. Mwen dakò! Si ou se pral fè yon bagay, fè li kòrèkteman premye fwa a. Pa bati estrikti ki rele "moun ki pòv nan yon peyi pòv".

Pou egzanp si se yon lekòl primè gwo bati nan Gonave, li te kapab ap bati lè l sèvi avèk bwa, sepandan li bezwen yo gade anpil pwofesyonèl. Mwen te pran foto nan yon gwo etablisman yo te bati fèt an bwa tou pre Rio Rancho, NM. Sa a ta dwe yon bilding trè pwofesyonèl men abòdab yo bati.

Se pou yo pa janm rezoud, ak asire w ke ou fè efò pou pi bon an.

Ale Gonave!

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

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
