 Sept. 22, 2022 : 22 Sept. 2022

(1). God. Put God in the first place in all that we are doing. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. (Prov. 9: 10).

 

(1). Bondye. Bay Bondye premye plas nan tout sa n ap fè. Krent pou Bondye se kòmansman sajès. (Pwov. 9: 10).

(2). Free education. How can we help all Haitians in Haiti get a free education and one that is practical until the end of secondary school? Without free education (up to a certain level), there cannot be possible development in Haiti.

  

(2). Edikasyon gratis. Kòman nou ka ede tout ti Ayisyen Ayiti jwenn yon edikasyon gratis e youn ki pratik jiska fen segondè? San edikasyon gratis (jiska yon sèten nivo), pa ka gen devlopman posib Ayiti.

(3). Formation Trainings. These trainings must be held in all domains) to orient youth since early on so that they don’t get into gangs.

  

(3). Seyans Fòmasyon. Fòmasyon sa yo dwe fèt nan tout domèn pou oryante lajenès depi byen bonè, pou yo pa tonbe nan gang.

(4). Diaspora. If you live in diaspora and you are helping people in Haiti, don’t spoil them by sending them money only. Give them advise to learn 2, 3 trades to learn to help themselves, advise them to go to school, go to formation trainings, learn to do business, learn to invest in the communes they are from (encourage them to do business, learn to organize themselves, learn to create networks).

  

(4). Dyaspora. Si w ap viv nan dyaspora w ap ede moun Ayiti, pa gate yo nan voye lajan ba yo sèlman. Ba yo konsèy pou aprann 2, 3 metye pou aprann ede tèt yo, ba yo konsèy al lekòl, al pran seyans fòmasyon, aprann fè biznis, aprann envesti nan komin yo soti (ankouraje yo fè biznis, aprann òganize yo, aprann kreye rezo).

(5). Civic work. We encourage every Haitian to learn to do civic works in their communes, communities (in Haiti and in Diaspora).

  

(5). Travay sivik. N ap ankouraje chak Ayisyen aprann fè travay sivik nan komin, kominote y ap viv (Ayiti kou nan dyaspora).

(6). Working together. The fact that most Haitians have problems with working together, so we can think of other strategies such as encouraging every Haitian to learn to produce individually and put what they can produce at the service of their country, community, and commune.

  

(6). Travay ansanm. Lefèt ke pifò Ayisyen gen pwoblèm ak travay ansanm, enben n ka panse a lòt estrateji tèlke: ankouraje chak Ayisyen aprann pwodui endividyèlman epi mete sa yo ka pwodui a o sèvis peyi, kominote, komin yo soti.

(7). Leadership. Something that starts at home, where mom and dad live and the children are observing them. So, often times the children are going to replicate this model (which can be a positive or negative one).

  

(7). Lidèchip. Yon bagay ki kòmanse depi nan fwaye a, kote manman ak papa ap viv, epi timoun nan ap obsève. Donk anpil fwa, se modèl sa a timoun nan pral repwodui (youn ki ka pozitif ou negatif).

(8). Production. What does every Haitian reproduce, can produce in their capacity that society can benefit from? Here, we must stop criticizing Peter or James for what is not done in society. That is, we are also guilty seeing what’s needed to be done and we cross our arms without doing anything.

  

(8). Pwodiksyon. Kisa chak Ayisyen pwodui, ka pwodui nan domèn, nan kapasite yo ke sosyete a ka benefisye de sa? La a, nou dwe sispann kritike Pyè oubyen Jak pou sa ki pa fèt nan sosyete a. Sètadi, nou koupab tou lè n wè sa k dwe fèt epi n rete bra kwaze san fè anyen.

(9). Determination. After knowing our problems, and their causes are going to continue blaming James and Peter… and don’t look for strategies to solve them (even if they would propose us some)?

  

(9). Detèminasyon. Lè n fin rekonèt pwoblèm nou, e sa ki lakoz yo, èske n ap kontinye blame Jak oubyen Pyè… epi n pa chache estrateji solisyone yo (menm lè yo ta pwopoze n kèk)?

(10). Turkeys fly with turkeys • Eagles soar with eagles.

  

(10). Kòdenn vole ak kòdenn • Èg plane ak èg.
  1. Why do you have to continue functioning with people with no vision to move forward when you have vision to do so?: Pou kisa ou oblije kontinye fonksyone ak moun ki san vizyon pou avanse, lè ou menm ou gen vizyon pou avanse?
     
  2. Why do you have to continue functioning with people you discover to be racketeers when you are a descent person? : Pou kisa ou oblije kontinye fonksyone ak moun ou dekouvri ki raketè lè ou menm ou se moun serye?
     
  3. Why do you have to be in a club of villains when you are a descent person? : Pou kisa ou oblije nan klib bandi lè ou menm ou se moun debyen?
     
  4. Why do you have to be in the club of people who like filth when you like cleanliness? : Pou kisa ou oblije nan klib moun ki renmen salte lè ou menm ou renmen pwòpte?
     
  5. Why don’t you belong to the club of people who are producing instead of staying at clubs of people who don’t want to produce? : Pou kisa ou pa fè pati klib moun k ap pwodui olye ou rete nan klib moun ki pa vle pwodui?
