1 The new government has to develop a systematic campaign to contact: 1) Regional and communal associations abroad and in Haiti. Communities can participate effectively and efficiently in the development of basic infrastructure in rural areas if they are motivated and receive the tools: transport, road, sewerage, health, electricity, water, and housing. 2) Haitians entrepreneurs (small, medium, and big) abroad and in Haiti 3) Professionals, Scientists and Technicians abroad and in Haiti 4) NGO’s abroad and Haiti 5) Haitians businessmen and Farmers, regardless of size abroad and in Haiti. In unity, there is strength.

Stimulate the development of fishery businesses 11. Work with the banks to give credit to encourage commerce and trade 12. Build quality Schools (University and technical) 13. Build Hospitals and health care systems 14. Protect private property 15. Facilitate the diffusion of technology and science and innovation 16. Encourage the arrival of industries 17. Promote Human Rights and Justice and Security All Haitians (homeless, non-homeless, poor, and rich) should be busy contributing to the realizations of the above. These activities will facilitate the circulation of money and create needed jobs. Families will spend the income on agricultural goods, education, and health care. The receiver of the money will also spend it. This positive situation will increase income and be good for the economy and the families. This change will eliminate this despair situation and facilitate security and peace. Millions of jobs will be created; then, the Gross Domestic Product will increase. Social progress will accompany the growth of the economy. A clean, electrified, and safe country will attract tourists who will spend money will to further develop agriculture, education, and health care

5 It is time for the political leaders to unite or to compromise around a realistic and concrete a vision and to show love for Haiti by review the proposals of the professionals, other countries successful local, or regional, or towns projects to house hundreds of thousands of homeless Haitians.
