A thought about Women’s History Month
Written by Dahla
The month of March is coming to an end as Women’s History Month. Does that mean we can no longer acknowledge women’s evolution and involvement in world issues? Not at all! We believe that women should be celebrated throughout the year, because we are the building blocks of a strong family and we equally deserve as our men counterparts the right to work in any field at an equal salary. We’ve come a long way in the battlefield, politics, healthcare, justice system, army, space, advocacy and many more fields. Without our existence on Earth, the world would not be as balanced.
Who are YOU as a woman? What defines YOU as a woman? What legacy do YOU want to leave to your kids?
There was a poem that had become viral, and was titled: “The 30 things that a woman should have and should know by the time she’s 30”, and it was written by the author Pamela Redmond Satran and published in Glamour Magazine in 1997. You can read the article here: http://www.glamour.com/magazine/2007/02/things-women-should-have-and-know-by-30.
What are your insights on reading the article? Look into it to start writing your own list of things you want to accomplish by the time you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s. Decide your destiny and make it an exciting journey where you can continue to impact the world in a positive way.
We urge YOU to take the lead in defining you and not relying on others to label you as an individual.
Good luck with the challenge and share your insights with us on our Facebook page.

Insights on Oprah’s show on Haiti – Part 2
Written by Dahla
A viewer’s perspective – Part 2
Another riveting documentary that left me excited about making my dreams a reality for my country. Last night, 3 extraordinary stories were featured in Oprah’s Next chapter and I admired the love that each of these stories exuded for our people, our culture and our artistic talent. Those 3 stories are minuscule in comparison of all the good work currently being done in Haiti by others. However, they can be a catalyst for others to start thinking; to start dreaming; to start having a vision; and to start believing in themselves so they can make a difference, and not to let status, money, or fear prohibit them from doing so.
I love that Oprah was able to capture a diverse range of stories, in the short amount of time that she spent in Haiti. I am certain that if more time was allotted, Oprah would have covered more regions of Haiti, hence more stories. One thing I would hope comes from this, is that access be given to our Haitian journalists to interview foreigners doing work in Haiti, so the Diaspora and local people know more about their work.
There is so much to say about each of those stories that I will only depict the most important elements from my perspective. Vision, Passion, Commitment and Action are underlined in all the 3 stories.
The 1st Story – Ariana
Ariana’s Story – Is a calling to all nonbelievers to truly believe again and let the universe play its course in the things we need to achieve in our lifetime. How could a child of 8 years of age be thinking about Haiti and building an orphanage? Was that her calling? Well, I believe it was her calling and she made it happened along with the support of her parents.
The orphanage that her parents run with her in Haiti, is called Maison Lumiere (the Lighthouse), which cares for approximately 47 girls and boys ranging from age 4 to teens. They have a school, a medical clinic, security, and a transition house (similar to a trade school) for their children. The transition house is for the older children, and they are taught the “savoir vivre” like sewing, woodworking and more. My question is, what happens to those teens if they want a higher education? Could perhaps Maison Lumiere Orphanage fund their education?
What is more appealing is that her parents have adopted 2 more children from Haiti and they made the ultimate sacrifice in leaving their comfort zone in the U.S. to reside in Haiti to achieve Ariana’s dream. IT TAKES COURAGE AND FAITH. How many of us sometimes are afraid to travel overseas or do the ultimate change in our lives just because …………
Oprah had fun chatting with the girls and Ariana’s parents. She adamantly shared with the girls that education is freedom and was proud to give a brief introduction to her school in Africa. The issue of not having access to emergency rooms in Haiti was a detriment to our people, and Oprah stated that most took that system for granted in the U.S.
Ariana’s organization in Haiti is registered as “Child Hope International” and they mostly support their needs through donations and sponsors. In the midst of her conversation with Oprah, she stated that Haitian girls tend to settle for less and seem not to have any dreams. Quite a bold statement, yet one I would firmly disagree with. Most of the Haitian girls I’ve talked to in Haiti have dreams – bigger than their parents’ dreams. What happens is, if they cannot access and/or have the means to achieve those dreams, they reluctantly settle for less. And the settling only happens when they feel pressured by people not giving them a chance, not believing in their vision, or just simply not believing in their potential. However, if given the opportunity, the financial means, and the support, they would in a heartbeat, further their education and shoot for the stars.

In summary:
Lesson to be learned: Whatever your vision, it is important to find support and stay grounded in your beliefs. Patience and resilience can go a long way. Parents ought to believe and support their children’s endeavors.
What I would do: Take a pen and start writing down your vision and desires for humanity and for yourself. Bring along your children, your parents and friends so they can partake in the same exercise for themselves as well.
The 2nd Story – Magalie Dresse
Magalie Dresse’s Story – Is inspiring and reflects determination and hope. Magalie, a fierce, intelligent Haitian woman is the proud owner of Caribbean Craft located in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. She is a business woman with lots of accolades and extraordinary passion for her people in Haiti. Magalie was named the Digicel Entrepreneur of the year 2010. You can see her resilience and devotion to provide employment, to teach her people and better the economy in Haiti, as the products made by her company are being recognized overseas and sold in stores such as Anthropologie and West Elm. I love her brilliant idea of incorporating a meal service for her employees (as they say no food, no work & no energy!)
After her company was destroyed in the 2010 earthquake, Magalie and her painter husband Joel Dresse did not give up on themselves and their employees. The company is now thriving with about 349 employees ranging from painter, crafter and sculptor. Their “papier maché” products are now a hot commodity. I also admired that training in Caribbean Craft is shared among the employees. For instance, her husband Joel teaches and trains employees on the art of painting and those who master the skill train the new comers. Education and knowledge are passed along, and that’s the way it should be in all the things we do in life.
Her company offers health care, no interest loans to the employees. Oprah called her: “the New Star in Haiti” and truly admired the work she is achieving in Haiti. As you know, Oprah is all about women empowerment, her actions showed both respect and admiration for Magalie Dresse, so much so that when Oprah congratulated her and hugged her, the gesture brought tears to Magalie’s eyes. I would say that running a balanced, profitable company in Haiti with employee benefits while keeping a good reputation is not easy. It demands lots of hustling and love for what you do. I was overjoyed to see Oprah in awe of our Haitian artists and our Haitian arts while touring her company.

In summary:
Lesson to be learned: Take action! Overcome your challenges and aim for better things. Find that entrepreneurial spirit inside of you, and let it out. Success comes with hard work and dedication.
What I would do: If you have a vision and want to open a company in Haiti, I would suggest that you research the field, network with those in the field, collaborate with those who can be a mentor to you and certainly define the why, the how and the for whom?
The 3rd Story – Donna Karan
Donna Karan’s Story – A renowned fashion designer who falls head over heels in love with Haiti. I found her interview with Oprah to be genuine but I still question her involvement in the intricate issues of Haiti. Nevertheless, I command her for taking a leap of faith and giving a platform to our Haitian designs overseas. According to Donna, she often travels to Haiti for inspiration and also works with various Haitian artists in terms of developing a production line for their designs. Basically, she is teaching them about customization so the products can be a demand in the market share. This is a great initiative by her, and I truly hope our artists/ designers are being taught in such a way that they can take the reins of her teaching to open their own businesses and make a production line on their own. I believe that they need to know about production line for their own endeavors, and become self sufficient in the long run. I am also aware that there other Haitian designers who give their services free of charge, and travel to Haiti to teach their people, but are silent about their work. The “celebrity” label of Donna Karan, has nonetheless helped brand our artistry with foreigners.
The interview with Oprah took place in the Caribbean Craft showroom in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and I felt it was a perfect setting since the topic was about art and crafts. Oprah even urged her cameramen to purchase some of the Haitian beads for their loved ones. This was exhilarating to me as I have always been proud of the richness of our Haitian culture, and was glad to see us finally getting the recognition for our hard work.
Donna’s love for new artistic ideas channels through her eyes and her conversation. Donna has come a long way as she is very reputable in the fashion industry and well respected by her peers. She stated that philanthropy and commerce are interconnected and that she wants collaboration from others to tackle hotels, medical systems and education in Haiti. This is an aggressive plan and I love it! Why do I love it? Because she is entitled to see a bigger picture from what she originally traveled to Haiti. I wholeheartedly agreed with Donna’s statement on philanthropy and commerce. From my perspective, philanthropy in itself has no life and no reward if it is not being used to help others to sustain themselves financially and recruit people for employment. Those 2 giant words bring on collaboration, partnership, education and advancement for both the owner and the consumer.
Another striking moment is that I was puzzled that both Oprah and Donna were reluctant to use their birth names as their companies’ names. Donna, the humble woman and widow of 11 years simply said “I just wanted the focus to be on the world and not on me and that is why I added NY to the DKNY”. With her major fashion label DKNY under her belt, she started an organization named Urban Zen focusing on projects in Haiti. I would say that her organization is about connecting, reaching out and making a difference in people’s lives in an organic way. Donna even mentioned that she’s thinking of bringing yoga to Haiti. That waits to be seen……………
For more information about Donna Karan, the designer, the philanthropist, and her work in Haiti, click on the following links:
Fashion Label website: http://www.donnakaran.com/
Organization: http://www.urbanzen.org/
In summary:
Lesson to be learned: Take action! To quote Donna Karan in her interview, “Every day is a lesson, a teaching experience”. It is a powerful statement! I will add that we can learn new things from anyone whether it be a housekeeper, a doorman, a colleague, a sibling, a child, a parent, a stranger, a homeless person or anyone that has a lower status or education than we have.
What I would do: Share your artistic acumen with others and Haiti. Open your heart to new teachings and experiences. Teach our people, because education is a lifetime reward.
Lastly…
Lastly, Oprah’s documentary ended with the story of a resilient, hopeful Haitian mother of 4 children who lost her husband in the earthquake. This 26 year old young woman whose aspiration is to become a hairdresser, is still full of energy, while caring for her children, and searching for employment. To me, her smile was a sign of hope and determination. Despite her loss, she is finding the strength through prayers for a better tomorrow. I was expecting to see a completely distraught woman but it was not the case at all. Nevertheless, just because her raw emotions were not disclosed in her attitude, I cannot make judgments that she is not in need of help emotionally and psychologically.
In summary:
Lesson to be learned: Whatever challenges we face in our daily lives, there is a person out there in worst condition than we are. And, if that person can still have a positive attitude towards life, so can we. We ought to find the strength within us to recoup and still be hopeful.
What I would do: When you hear a sad story, give some thoughts to the people affected and show more compassion. In the midst of an affliction, believe that you are not alone. Whether you pray or meditate, do seek help if needed, and reach out to those who support you. Make a plan of action to better your life as a whole and never lose hope.

Insights on Oprah’s show on Haiti
Written by Dahla
A viewer’s perspective
I decided to watch the show because I was curious to see what more I can learn about Sean Penn’s work in Haiti and how Oprah would broadcast the story on OWN.
Oprah’s documentary on her trip in Haiti depicted the country in its impoverished conditions in Petion-Ville as a result of the earthquake 2 years ago and most importantly depicted Sean Penn as a humanitarian. Certainly, Sean Penn’s work in Haiti has separated the actor from his wild past and obnoxious behavior at times. His actions showed that when there’s a will, there’s a way to the fact that he took the initiative in building the right team to create his vision and he succeeded. He simply thought outside of the box by building a small community for the camp residents so they don’t lose hope. I admired the fact that Oprah toured the camp and spoke to Haitian families; that a much needed improvement exists in camp; that Sean Penn’s Haiti residence was shown (the humble man within him) and the fact that Oprah showed compassion and understanding to our people living in camp.
I felt Oprah’s presence in Haiti was genuine and warm and I believe that she will keep track on Sean Penn’s organization evolution in Haiti. Certainly, Oprah’s insights on J/P HRO will show her viewers and others a better assessment of Sean Penn’s work in the Petion-Ville Camp. I was puzzled by Oprah’s constant comment on the braids of our Haitian girls and their neatness. I am proud to say that Haitian parents always felt obligated to care for their children as clean as possible even with little or no means. Most Haitian parents are dedicated to give their children a better life and future and would work hard so their children look presentable in school.
I wished there was more in a depth discussion about the relocation process in Haiti and how much it costs to relocate one family at a time and how those permanent housings are found in Haiti. One quote I loved by Sean Penn states that “I am touched by humanity but not so fond of humans”. What a striking statement by him! If you go beyond the superficial line sentence, you would see that it makes sense. From my perspective, I took it like humans often bring delayed actions and bureaucracy to make things happen and if a person would bypass those obstacles, change can really happen. I’m glad to know that his optimism guided him to take those proactive actions in Haiti.
There are still somewhat 25,000 people still living under tents and we can all be part of this positive change. Sean Penn had revealed that they have about 300 staffers, and I would have liked to know what is the next step for Sean Penn, the humanitarian and J/P HRO after all the people have been relocated in the camp. This is to be followed…………

Monument Commémoratif pour les Familles Haïtiennes à Queens / Pwojè Moniman pou Fanmi Ayisyen yo ki nan Queens
Monument Commémoratif pour les Familles Haïtiennes à Queens
Des milliers de nos proches parents ont perdu leurs vies durant la tragédie du tremblement de terre de 2010 en Haïti. Cela fait presque 2 ans, et toujours le chagrin et la douleur sont engravés dans nos cœurs. Certaines familles ont eu l’occasion de donner une sépulture décente à leurs proches mais beauoup d’autres n’ont pas été aussi chanceuses. De nombreux corps n’ont jamais été trouvés et d’autres ont été placés dans un cimetière massif. Cette dernière situation est l’une des pires craintes qui pouvait arriver à quelqu’un. Il est très pénible de vivre avec le fait que vous avez perdu un être cher et le fait que vous n’êtes pas capable de donner un dernier enterrement ou un dernier rituel à vos proches.
Maple Grove Cemetery à Kew Gardens, Queens aimerait ériger un Monument commémoratif pour les familles haïtiennes pour commémorer la vie de leurs proches qui ont péri lors du séisme, et qui n’ont pas eu de sépulture appropriée en Haïti ou aux Etats-Unis. Le cimetière a commencé de travailler sur ce projet depuis 2010. Maple Grove Cemetery aimerait démarrer le projet le plus vite que possible. Ils ont déjà retenu un architecte haïtien pour concevoir le plan du monument dès qu’ils recrutent plus de familles. Le monument commémoratif sera un lieu d’honorer votre bien-aimé en ayant leur nom gravé sur le monument, à visiter quand vous le voulez et à méditer. En plus, ce monument sera maintenu pour toute les futures générations.
Vous n’avez pas a vous préoccuper ni de paiement et ni de statut légal aux Etats-Unis, parce que le but de Maple Grove Cemetery, est de vous donner, la famille haïtienne, la possibilité d’avoir le nom de votre bien-aimé gravé dans un lieu de repos.
Haiti1Stop aimerait que les résidents à Queens qui veulent amples informations sur ce projet, nous contacte à info@haiti1stop.com et nous vous ferons parvenir les coordonnées complètes de la personne dont vous avez besoin de parler à Maple Grove Cemetery.
Pwojè Moniman pou Fanmi Ayisyen yo ki nan Queens
Milye frè ak sè nou pèdi lavi yo nan tranbleman 2010 ki pase Ayiti. Sa fè preske 2 zan nou toujou gen lapenn ak doulè nan kè nou. Gen fanmi ki te gen opòtinite pou yo antere fanmi yo, men gen lòt ki pa jwen chans sa. Yo te swa pa jwenn ko fanmi yo, ou bien yo te deja mete yo no nan simityè en mas. Se sitiyasyon ki pi mal la ki te ka rive yon moun ki soufri yon pèt si trajik. Li trè difisil pou viv ak lefèt ke ou pèdi yon moun ou renmen ak lefèt ke ou pa kapab bay fanmi ou on dènye antèman.
Simityè Maple Grove nan Kew Gardens, Queens vle bay chak fanmi ayisyen yo nan Queens yon moniman pou komemore lavi moun ke yo pèdi, ki pa te gen okenn antèman ni an Ayiti oswa nan Etazini. Simityè Maple Grove ap travay sou pwojè sa-a depi 2010. Yo gen yon achitèk ayisyen nan konsepsyon moniman an, epi yo pare pou yo fè moniman an pi vit ke posib. Simityè an vle plis fanmi patisipe. Moniman ap se yon kote yo pral ekri non moun nou renmen yo, e fanmi yo ka vizite nenpòt lè yo vle pou yo lapriyè oswa fe refleksyon. Sa ki pi enpòtan, moniman an pral kanpe pou anpil jenerasyon kap vini yo.
Fanmi ayisyen pa bezwen peye pou anyen, ak yo pa dwe konsène yo sou estati legal yo nan peyi Etazini. Simityè a sèlman vle bay fanmi ayisyen yo opòtinite gen non moun ke yo pedi grave sou moniman an.
Haiti1Stop ankouraje nenpòt moun ki abite nan Queens ki vle fè pati nan pwojè sa-a pou yo kontakte info@haiti1stop.com pou nou fè rive enfòmasyon konplè sou moun ou bezwen pale lan simityè Maple Grove.
Memorial Monument Project for the Haitian families in Queens
Thousands of our loved ones lost their lives during the 2010 Haiti earthquake tragedy. It has been almost 2 years, and still the grief, the pain and sorrow are vivid in our hearts. Some families had the opportunity to give a proper burial to their loved ones and some other families were not as fortunate to do so. Many of the bodies were either never found or have been placed in a mass graveyard. The latter is one of the worst fears for anyone who has suffered a tragic loss. It is very painful to live with the fact that you lost a loved one and you are unable to say one last goodbye or do the last rituals.
Maple Grove Cemetery in Kew Gardens, Queens is reaching out to the Queens Haitian families to establish a Memorial Monument to commemorate the lives of their loved ones who perished during the earthquake, and had no proper burial in Haiti or in the United States. Maple Grove Cemetery has been working on this project since 2010. They have retained a Haitian architect to design the monument and are ready to make that happen as soon as they recruit more families. The memorial monument will be a place to honor your loved one by having their name engraved onto the monument, to visit anytime you want and meditate. Most importantly, the monument will stand erect for many generations to come.
There are no donations required and no need to pay for anything. There is no need to be concerned about your legal status in the USA because their goal is to give YOU, the Haitian family, the opportunity to have the name of your loved one engraved in a restful place.
Haiti1Stop urges anyone residing in Queens wanting to be part of this Memorial project to contact us and we will forward the full contact information of the person you need to speak to at Maple Grove Cemetery. They would like to start the Project ASAP and want more people to participate in.
Please if you need further information about the cemetery doing this wonderful project and obtaining an application form, write us at info@haiti1stop.com and we will address you to the right person.
Maple Grove Cemetery is already the restful place for many Haitian families pre-and post earthquake.
Quelle est votre valeur? (En mémoire de Sonia Pierre)
La valeur d’un homme tient dans sa capacité à donner et non à recevoir.
– Albert Einstein
Quelle est votre contribution en Haïti? Lorsque nous parlons de contribution, nous ne parlons pas seulement de choses matérielles. Une contribution peut etre aussi la valeur de caractère que vous apportez dans le monde.
Contribuez-vous un bon service dans le monde? Traitez-vous les gens avec respect et honnêteté? Etes-vous une personne qui tient son mot? Toutes ces choses peuvent affecter la reputation d’une personne et peuvent pousser des gens a vous juger dependant de vos actions. Votre réputation est la seule chose que vous pouvez donner sans dépenser quoi que ce soit. Votre réputation est votre richesse.
Pour sauvegarder cette richesse, donnez le meilleur de vous-même dans tout ce que vous faites. Si vous avez un travail, faites- le bien. Si vous faites une promesse a quelqu’un, tenez -la. Les personnes les plus réussies valorisent les autres et tiennent leur parole, et particulierement démontrent l’intégrité. Le respect est accordé à ceux qui mènent une vie digne de respect – c’est à dire le respect se gagne, et nous devons agir honorablement en vue de le recevoir des autres.
Alors, aujourd’hui, Haiti1Stop vous demande, quelle est votre valeur, et que comptez-vous donner pour l’augmenter?
En mémoire de Sonia Pierre, militante des droits humains qui, depuis son enfance, combat la discrimination et le mauvais traitement des Dominicains d’origine Haïtienne.
