Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

We will be expanding our agro-business side of things by testing the soil on La Gonave for the raising of Pinto Beans.  Pinto Beans are an excellent source of protein, and packs many vitamins in them.  I grew up on them as a child living in the south.

I mentioned the transpark idea before, click here. When you consider the contacts I have been getting a...
