100 years later, most Haitian people remain unaware of the true worth of their nation. The youth involved in Green education are striving to guide them towards enlightenment. The current value of Haiti's Irridium is $275.00 a gram and they have mountains of it!
Green With Haiti (GWH) is a global youth-led organization committed to amplifying Haitian voices throughsustainability exploration of economic reform not reliant on foreign intervention and the core values of service to nation, autonomy of resource advocacy, and African diasporic collaboration, from a youth perspective. GWH aims to foster a more interconnected Haiti and African global society by creating a mutual relationship between young people around the world and the Haitian community.
GWH acknowledges that since 1804, Haiti has faced obstacles in fully reconnecting with the global diaspora, while also experiencing efforts to undermine the socio-economic potential of the Haitian people. By adopting an environmentally friendly approach that empowers every citizen to contribute to a sustainable infrastructure, Haiti can break free from the negative influences ingrained in a culture of dependence on foreign aid. Through workshops, participants are able to apply their new skills to address their specific issues, problems, and goals, ensuring they are well-prepared to put their learning into practice effectively in their respective roles.
Students are taught how to construct and design basic solar panels and wind turbines that produce electricity, while also being motivated to enhance these basic designs and engage in critical thinking. They examine various agricultural models, ranging from those of Indigenous Americans to the farming methods of ancient global societies, and how they coped with environmental and social changes that posed threats to food production. This program equips participants with a strong foundation and a diverse set of tools and techniques for critical thinking in various scenarios. Through practical exercises, attendees apply these tools to real-life situations and issues related to individual skills and economies of scale. Journaling is integrated into the program to serve as a reference for critical thinking, both during the workshops and for future application outside of the workshop setting.
Various Haitian entrepreneurs, educators, tradespeople, and businessmen are invited to participate in our "Manje midi ak aprann" Lunch and Learn sessions. During these gatherings, participants can share their knowledge and lead discussions that encourage critical thinking, allowing for in-depth exploration of particular issues, problems, or objectives.
Haiti's primary focus lies in developing a Haitian Green New Deal, emphasizing sustainable job creation through initiatives such as launching renewable energy projects, constructing energy-efficient homes, and eventually erecting public buildings capable of withstanding hurricanes. In the initial months of 2024, over 2,500 individuals lost their lives in Port-au-Prince due to an intensifying armed conflict between local gangs vying for political dominance and seeking deals with foreign powers that have influenced Haiti's future for more than a century. However, their endeavors are bound to fail as the western nations cannot afford to combat the various challenges posed by climate change. Approximately 300,000 people have been displaced by the violence, with many relocating to southern cities like Les Cayes and Jacmel, or northern areas such as Cap-Haitien.
The updated approach involves allowing those aspiring to power to eliminate themselves, after which armed forces can step in to eradicate the remaining opposition, paving the way for the nation to be taken over, much like what happened in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. This would potentially expose one of the largest sources of iridium minerals outside of Africa, as rival armed groups battle for resources without realizing the immense economic potential that could elevate every Haitian to a standard comparable to countries like Dubai and Qatar, where even minimum wage earners make $5500 USD per month.
Haiti has forfeited this opportunity due to a lack of unity, critical thinking, and internal discord. The African Union's rejection of Haiti's membership was influenced by self-hatred and a misunderstanding of Haiti's true wealth, which lies not in its soil but in the unity of its people. Without this unity, Haiti remains vulnerable to exploitation by those seeking to plunder, kill, and ruin its future.
