Gonave ID revisited. Original post Nov. 2013.

Creation of ID cards

ID cards

This is a sample ID card I found online from the United Kingdom,  This card is probably for a foreign student who is in England.  I will show additional cards from England that will show the front and back of the cards for actual citizens of the United Kingdom.

Purpose
The purpose of the ID cards are simple.  For one it will allow Gonave to have valid proof of who actually resides on the island, and their age.  It also provides proof to the United Nations that citizens on the island can easily be identified for voting purposes, and legal rights.  This will be very critical if the citizens of Gonave vote to succeed from Haiti.

Card Design

 
Picture above are the back and front of a British ID card.  Now these are smart cards as you can see the chip in the top photo.  On the back are registration numbers, which are unique to that specific person.  Now while this is a sample card I found online, it what an actual card could look like for Gonave.  
The front of the card should have the Flag of Gonvae, the title of the nation, the card number, the sex of the person, their place of birth, age, when the card was issued, when the card expires, the person's legal name, a recent photo, a legal signature from the card holder, and a thumb print of the card holder.
Having ID cards is one way for Gonave to form itself as a sovereign nation, and to show valid proof of voting from residents.  These cards will also give the nation more accurate numbers of how many people actually live on Gonave.
Costs
The cost of the card laminate equipment and smart cards are very reasonable in price.  Usually a system stocked with cards, and embedded traits, with a double sided smart card, and camera, can be acquired for around $20,000.
Again the cost of making Gonave a free nation isn't really out of the realm of reality.
 
UPDATE 2014
 
As I mentioned in a previous post $100,000 has been pledged to start the process of building a ID verification system for Gonave.

Unlike the post from Nov 2013, some ideas have changed.  After a few different things came together, Let's Build Gonave, Haiti, no longer feels that turning Gonave into it's own nation is or will be in the best interest for the citizens on the island.  Forming a sovereign nation out of a poor area with poor people already leads to those people being taken advantage of.  It also usually leads to civil wars and civil unrest.  Usually those groups that want to create their own country have power, money, and perks to gain.  Usually citizens get very little benefit.  At Let's Build Gonave, Haiti, we show potential investors, like the one that wants to donate $100,000 transparency.  This allows that company and others to see where the money will go and how it all will be used.  Let's Build Gonave, Haiti is currently financed by my own private company.  Most of the research and writing is done by myself to lower costs.  I receive no money for what I am doing, nor do I want any money for this.  Given back to people who have nothing, and seeing those people rise out of poverty is what I long for, and will be my payment.

With that out of the way, the $100,000 will be enough to purchase the imaging equipment, and the actual ID's.  The ID cards will be given to everyone on Gonave Island.  Each card will be a "smart card" which will allow any individual to be verified through verification ID system.  Also each card will have a citizens registration number, photo, name, place of birth, type of ID (resident/non-resident), expiration date, the SAR flag of Gonave, and the card members sex.

Let's Go Gonave!

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 Baham...

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 i...

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,...
