OP-ED EXCLUSIVE: "Rebuild," by Presidential Candidate Michel Martelly


Today is a new day.  As we enter working groups, we must have dialogue centered on implementing sustainable rebuilding... and this time with better standards and with more ambitious performance criteria.

We must rebuild, of course, but not only physical reconstruction efforts; it starts with restructuring the systems of governance, of ethics and principles.

We must activate a revival of Haitian mentality for productivity in agriculture, as well as in culture and tourism.

Most importantly, we must begin by making true the dream of an educational system that provides high quality training for all ages and all social economic groups.

...Because Haiti’s true treasures remain in the potential for development of human resources and the diversity of investment possibilities that can create rapid economic growth.

We must take this opportunity now to take the bull by its horns and rebuild.

This is a new day for Haiti - a new era of pride, success, and progress!



Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly
Presidential Candidate, Haiti
