hi, my plans have been in motion since the early 80's: manage to convince most teenages in the neighborhood to finish high school, volunteer for Brother of Christian Instruction alphabetization program, supporting student's association in PaP (and also endoctrinating them...), actively galvanizing the Haitian Diaspora to devise a Diaspora Plan for Haiti through a few of the local media (87.9 FM in New Jersey, QPTV, BCat, Comcast Leased and Public Access and so forth...)
I wrote and published several empirical plans on how to resolve the electric power crisis at home, how to stop soil erosion & increase agricultural production with minimal capital upfront cost, dramatically reduce election costs, GSPARE, a framework on economic development...and many more.
But I put my money where my mouth is. I have already sent two of my relatives back to the country side to educate and revive agricultural production.

I managed to explain to them the economic relationship between cost of living (la vie chere) and agricultural production/output in Haiti; they seem to get it and are willing to help.
My experience is that most well-minded educated Haitians can identify the effects but completely estrange to the cause, they can spit out wonderful ideas but lack the ability to pull their ideas into a single effective plan, they excell at making suggestions to the Haitian government while they slack at getting involved at their own local level; Haiti's problems, for them, is always, someone else's responsibility.

Rest assured, my dear, I do more than just talk.
