Accompanied by the First Lady, Sophia Martelly, and of Senator Joseph Lambert, the Head of State went, this Friday, March 16, 2012, to the Côtes-de-Fer, to celebrate with the inhabitants of this municipality, their Patron saint, St. Joseph and to promote the decentralization.

La fête patronale des Côtes-de-Fer a connu cette année un succès considérable. La ville natale du président Martelly s'est vue envahie par plusieurs dizaines (voire centaines) de milliers de visiteurs. Sa capacité d'accueil a débordé. Une semaine d'activités intenses a été organisée dans cette ville en pleine construction. Des activités culturelles, sociales et à caractère politique. Une fois de plus, le chef de l'Etat a distribué pas mal de cadeaux aux gens.

Haïti - Agriculture : Le point sur la sécurité alimentaire jusqu’en décembre 2011 À coté des phénomènes naturels dont les effets sur la sécurité alimentaire peuvent se révéler dramatique, pour les plus démunis, il faut aussi mentionner la situation politique qui ne favorise pas le développement de conditions propices aux investissements et à la création de nouveaux emplois durables. Aucune politique ne peut être définie en vue d’aider les agriculteurs qui ont perdu en grande partie les plantations de printemps.

Haiti - Agriculture : Update on the food safety until December 2011 Beside the natural phenomena whose the effects on food security can be dramatic for the poor, it is also necessary to mention the political situation which does not favor the development of conditions conducive to the investment and the creation of new sustainable jobs. No policy can be defined in order to help farmers who have lost much of the spring planting. The spring harvest remains generally weak throughout almost all regions of the country due to drought occurred between March and June. Compared to the last five yearsthis situation has led to a low availability of local food products in the areas most affected like the departments of the Southeast (Cotes de fer, Grand‐Gosier and Anse‐à‐Pitres), of Northwest (Baie de Henne, Bombardopolis), of North (Bahon, Pignon, and Ranquitte), and of Northeast (Ferrier, Fort Liberté, Terrier‐Rouge, Caracol), particularly in August and September.

HARTFORD, CT, August 8, 2011 – In yet another sign that the Humanitarian Free and Open Software (HFOSS) project has been hugely successful, a team of Trinity faculty and students has developed a mobile application for Android phones that will be used by a nonprofit organization to monitor and distribute food to needy women and children in Haiti.

Si la route de l'Amitié, qui relie la métropole du Sud-Est aux autres villes et départements du pays, donne un accès facile aux visiteurs locaux et internationaux voulant se rendre à Jacmel, tel n'est pas le cas pour le reste du département du Sud-Est où se déplacer d'une ville à une autre constitue un vrai parcours du combattant pour le voyageur.

Medair has already begun helping people in Côtes-de-Fer, but our project is not fully funded. We still need private donations to be able to run our crucial programme and assist the most needy families in this region. Please make a donation today: for Linante and her 10 children, and for all the “never-seen” families struggling to survive in Côtes-de-Fer.

In previous issues of The Light it was announced that our parish had twinned with St. Joseph Parish in Haiti, and a visit to St. Joseph's by three of our parishioners in late November, 2009, was described. The effects of the January 12, 2010, earthquake was also described as it effected St. Joseph's Parish. In addition, it was mentioned that two of our parishioners, Carol Roberts, and Diane Smith were able to return to Haiti and provide their nursing services in Port au Prince, and that additional information would be provided as it developed.
