THANK YOU !!!

VERY WELL SAID AND WELL PUT.

This obsession is merely a false pretense and pretext they hold dear to hide their guilt of having not done enough for Haiti or have abandoned Haiti.

Sending money home to Haiti if you have a family you claim is a personal obligation you have to your family and indeed perhaps by having this family member spending that money it does help the Consumer Spending Economic Revenue I understand, but not the overall Haitian economy.

Helping and give back to Haiti as a Diaspora would mean that as a Green card holder or even a visa holder here in the US you could still go to school, earn a degree and become someone important in Haiti had its interests have been dear to one's Haitian heart and had this and that much love for Haiti.

We would have made sure that the youths being raised here in the US still have a sense of having Haiti being their home and not let the American society raise them. As many Haitian parents tend to be hard on Haitian kids who are or have just arrived in the US meanwhile be liberal with the kids they give birth to here in the US and be more lenient to allow them to be disrespectful, beligerant and arrogant as they lack principles.

We as Haitian parents would have done a better jobs in properly raising those Haitian descent American kids maybe they would grow up to be prominent investors in Haiti.

But how could they since they were raised not to be Haiti conscious as we have not given them nor instill in most of them the pride, joy of what it is like to be of Haitian descent.

Helping Haiti would mean when we have earned a degree, certificates or merit-able skills here in the states that returning home to put that degree, certificates or merit-able skills to good used. We would have known that Haiti lack employment infrastructure so that we would do some volunteering Pro-Bono non-profitable work in a cause of Haiti's plight and more...

P.S: There are schools in Haiti that actually could use some Haitian Diaspora funding for little programs that could give hope to some Haitian children be it a sponsoring of a musical or other vocational aspects of the Haitian educational system.

You do not need to have a dual citizenship to do that or thing of/in its nature.

If dual citizenship is what a diaspora Haitian is waiting for to start doing for Haiti, well you never really had any true intent to truly do for Haiti period.
