“MIAMI, USA (defend.ht) - The Haitian Heritage Museum, the first museum of Haiti outside of the country, is looking for 2013’s Mr. or Ms. May 18th. For a chance to win, you have to show your pride like last year’s winner, Diana Pierre-Louis.”

“The National Museum of Haiti, better known by its French acronym MUPANAH, is located at the Champ de Mars just two block where the now destroyed Presidential Palace used to be. The Museum is one of the very few public structures that remained intact after the 2010 Earthquake that rocked Haiti and destroyed downtown Port-au-Prince among other places, due to the fact that its construction is underground. The Museum first opened in 1983, and is home to some artifacts that are of extreme value, including the anchor of Santa Maria, the ship that Christopher Columbus used on his quest to the discoveries of the American Continent. This Anchor is worth well over $200 million according to archaeological experts; the Gold crown encrusted with diamonds and ruby that Faustin Soulouque, Haiti’s King from 1847 to 1858 used as part of his garments; the silver Gun that King Henry Christophe used to commit suicide at the Sans Souci Palace in 1820; one of the sword that Jean Jacques Dessalines, Haiti’s father of Independence used during the Batailles de Vertieres in 1803, the last battle that resulted in Haiti’s Independence; Haiti’s original Act of Independence, and countless of high valued paintings, and natives artifacts dated back to as early as the 1400’s; many torture instruments that French masters used to punish slaves. At the entrance of the museum, the remains of Toussaint L’Ouverture which was returned to Haiti by France is also found there.” courtesy of hougansydney.com #ayiti #teamhaiti #taino #teamzoe #zoe #haiti #haitianphoenix #columbus #tourism #toussaint #dessalines #christophe #france #usa #slavery #instagram #igers #igdaily #instalove #instamood #instatalk #iphonesia #instagramhub #bestoftheday #picoftheday #photooftheday #webstagram #westindian #statigram #wealth #art #caribbean

The Parisiana situated at the Champ de Mars, from 1914.

The Parisiana was the first large cinema theater (with around 500 seats) in the country. In 1933, the Ciné Eden opened its doors in Cap-Haitien. The following year, Paramount opened in Port-au Prince, and in 1935 the Rex Theater was founded, also in the capital.
It was consumed by fire set by an arsonist on the morning of April 30, 1930

On the sidelines of his participation in the 5th Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Association of Caribbean States, ACS, the President of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, went to the Republic of Chile School (École République du Chili) one of the 5,000 schools damaged or destroyed during the earthquake of January 2010. On site, the Chilean President, announced that in October of this year would begin the reconstruction work of this establishment, stating that it will be a modern establishment “a beautiful school that offers quality education to over 600 girls in Haiti.”

Haiti aims to plant 50m trees a year in a pioneering reforestation campaign to address one of the primary causes of the country’s poverty and ecological vulnerability. President Michel Martelly will launch the drive to double forest cover by 2016 from the perilous level of 2% – one of the lowest rates in the world. Despite scepticism engendered by past ill-fated campaigns, there are hopes that the high-level push will mark a turning point after hundreds of years of degradation. Haiti was once covered in verdant forests but land clearance for colonial plantations was followed by tree felling for cooking fuel. It is estimated that 30m to 40m trees a year are cut down. Until now, efforts to address this problem, which worsens with floods and mudslides, have been sporadic, small-scale projects, mostly run by foreign non-governmental organisations. But the government has said it will spearhead the new initiative, which starts on 1 May.

Thursday, Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced H.R. 1749, the Assessing Progress in Haiti Act, which would require a comprehensive report updating Congress on the progress of the post-earthquake humanitarian, reconstruction, and development efforts in Haiti. “The Haitian people have continued to demonstrate resiliency, strength, and bravery despite the tragic events that have occurred. It is beyond time that in turn, Congress supports Haiti to ensure that relief and reconstruction funds in Haiti are effectively spent to maximize their long term impact,” declared Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “Despite the billions of dollars pledged to Haiti, more than 350,000 Haitians remain internally displaced and it is unclear what sustainable impact American relief funds have had […] We need to make certain that the people of Haiti are on the road to recovery and not forgotten. Three years after […] we have very little accountability and oversight in the recovery efforts, and we need to change that.” In order to address these significant challenges, the Assessing Progress in Haiti Act would make certain that Congress continues to maintain their humanitarian responsibility to ensure that relief and reconstruction funds in Haiti are effectively spent to maximize long term impact.
