Some truth about Président René Préval a 65 year old man. He was born onJanuary 17, 1943 in Port-au-Prince.

He previously served as president from February 7, 1996 to February 7, 2001 and Prime Minister from February 1991 to September 2, 1993. We have learned that Préval studied agronomy at the College of Gembloux and the University of Louvain in Belgium ( no diploma).

He left Haïti with his family in 1963. Préval's father had risen to the position of Minister of Agriculture in the government of Général Paul Magloire, the predecessor of Duvalier.

They ldLeaving Haïti because his political past presented him as a potential opponent, he found work with UN agencies in Africa, more specifically in Belgian Congo, where he raised his family.

After spending five years in Brooklyn, New York, occasionally working as a restaurant waiter, Préval returned to Haïti and obtained a position with the National Institute for Mineral Resources.

After a few years as a civil servant, he opened a bakery in Port-au-Prince with some business partners.

He continued to be active in political circles and charity work. He provided bread to the Slalesian orphanage of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, with whom he developed a friendship.Préval would not have been where he is today if it was not for Aristide.

LAVALAs LESPAW are two sides of the same coin. Its time for all those imconpetent people to move on.
