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.

Prensa Latina reportsthat the 14 National Afro-Caribbean Festival in Memoryof Eva Gaspar recently took place in the province of Ciego de Ávila in central Cuba, with the participation of some twentyHaitian dance and music groups from all across Cuba.

Se levanjil ki ka fè lespri w’ vinn enbesil.

Se mèvèy ki ka fè vant lamizè wè lakansyèl.

“David Jude Jolicoeur of Haitian descent (one the right, was born 21 September 1968, in Brooklyn, New York), also known under the stage name Trugoy the Dove and more recently Dave, is an American rapper, producer, and one third of groundbreaking hip hop trio De La Soul. Jolicoeur, Vincent Mason and Kelvin Mercer were friends who attended the same high school in the Amityville, Long Island NY during the 1980’s. After they decided to form a rap group, each member re-christened themselves with an outlandish name (Trugoy the Dove, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Posdnuos, respectively). Early on, Jolicoeur sported a unique style of African medallions, peace signs and uneven dreadlocks (known as the “De La Do”). Paired with the positive messages of the group’s debut effort, 3 Feet High and Rising, the image led to critics and journalists labelling the members as “the hippies of hip hop” (a title that the group was quick to refute with the release of the second album De La Soul Is Dead in 1991)” courtesy of Wikipedia #hiphop #oldschool #rap #haiti #teamhaiti #ayiti #music #instagram #igers #instamood #instalove #igdaily #iphonesia #instagramhub #instatalk #instagood #beautiful #blackhistoryforever #blackhistory #picoftheday #phoenixrose360 #me #happy #love
