THE HOPE FOR A POSSIBLE NEW PORT-AU-PRINCE.

Easier and affordable to build the Infrastructure of Etang Saumatre.

By Wilgeens Rosenberg

Haiti's negative reputation is where it is at today because its people have allowed it so. The media around the World can only speculate the dynamics of what is given to them due to the location of where the focus is kept. By that I mean; if Port-Au-Prince, Cite Soleil and other dirty cities like them are all we offer the World and the media to see, well that is what they will show the World of your Country.

In Haiti, the Haitian people and its Government have not come to terms to what the word "Deteriorating" means.

For in Haiti, such a word do not even exist until one can add "Beyond Repair" behind it. Even then, such a would would not be fully exhausted due to the fact that the very nature of the people there tend to get complacent to give in to the low standard of living condition in addition of their dependencies on government to do everything in the Country.

Thus explains why the maintenance of the Streets are not kept as well as to why many areas in Haiti are turning into slums and so forth.

That is due to the fact that Haiti have not progressed mentally to want to evolve beyond the common major cities that its people know. Because to them, in most of their minds they hold on tight to a notion that life could not exist anywhere else beyond the limit of those common cities.

The Government nor they have not tried to build and expand their communities by reaching out to other areas of the country that have yet to be inhabited.

As for Haiti's negative reputation around the world, this could easily be avoided if the Haitian Government and Haitian Diasporas abroad were committed and love truly their Country enough to invest in building newly communities and cities elsewhere within the Country where abundant lands are yet to be corrupted by erosion among other ecological challenges Haiti faces.

Nevertheless, not all of Haiti faces such challenges.

Take a look at this interactive map of Haiti nationsonline.org/oneworld/map/google_map_haiti.htm -- You will see there much potentials for the possibility that New Cities can be Built even if they were to start small communities or Apartment Complexes at a time. If you look East of Port-Au-Prince right by the border of Dominican republic, you will see the largest lake called "Etang Saumatre or Lake Azuei" which is not an area that is highly populated.

This Areas in Haiti is so picturesque and beautiful; teh air there is so pristine and agriculture and the economy would bloom there beyond comprehensible measures knows to Haitians.

One would not know you were in Haiti once you are there.

It is a whole different atmosphere.

This area is not yet corrupted to unsanitary filth and lack of infrastructure.

The flamingos there are beautiful and yes, there are Alligators or Crocodiles there.

Etang Saumâtre's landscape has fully green mountains and valleys.

There are not much people living there and the area is beautifully unique, enchanting and such a humble place, which continues to capture the imagination of all who set foot there asking themselves if this is even HAITI.

During a trip to Dominican Republic and after much thought and consideration it was decided by the group to take a drive across to the other side of the Island of Hispanola into Haiti.

Being there was in within itself a splendid experience.

It shows such a contrast of the Haiti you see everyday in the news. Marvelous in all sense of the words is the only way to describe there and this area spoke volume in my heart given the abundant richness and potential I saw and continue to echo its natural diversities beyond any known knowledge one may have of Haiti.

However due to lack of progressive thinking this area would only remain a vast wasted land to "paisans" not having the means to expand and evolve the area. Check this picture out

There are abundant sugar cane plantations there

If the Haitian Government were to put their innovation ingenuity at work, they could have build a small functioning city there along with roads which would not have been far from the Dominican Republic tourism to shift over over time as such city would have gradually built itself up by. The lake would serve as a great source for water after being filtered of course and since it is by far cleaner than any other water source I know in Haiti due to the fact that people are kept out of the lake due to their knowledge that Crocodiles swim in that lake.

If only the people and the Government there in Haiti would see the potential that exists there in that region of the Country then many would be able to put aside their differences and start being pro-active for the progression of such a Beautiful Country such as Haiti.
