Dear Haïtian Government,

Honor and Respect to the People of Haïti. The world is moving faster than ever before with new innovations and better ways to help mankind with becoming more comfortable and efficient in their lives. Unfortunately, our Haïtian Brothers and Sisters are still struggling every day for basic necessities such as water, food, shelter, education, healthcare, and jobs.

I believe most of Haïti’s children in the diaspora are ready and willing to give a helping hand. I am absolutely convinced that the world is standing by to help as well. I left Haïti in 1982, but my soul had not left. I pray for the deliverance of my Brothers and Sisters daily. The United States, my adopted home, has been very kind to me. I grew to be strong, learn so many things, witness so many advances, and have so many wonderful experiences. As I traveled many parts of the world during my service in the U.S. Navy, I met many Haïtian children. So many of them wanted to help, but they do not know where to begin. Because of our experiences, I believe if the Haïtian Government were to accept our offer to help, we should be allowed to bring our talents to Haïti the way we see fit. We should not be involved in political activities in Haïti, but a parallel partner—independent on our decision processes for the betterment of the people we wish to liberate from the grip of poverty. We should honor and respect the Haïtian constitution but use the best practice in our decision making. We should have the autonomy to lead and take the best course of action. We should be an open book for anyone who has questions or concerns. The United States has been very good to me, but some of my Brothers and Sisters have not been lucky to be hosted by a place that has been generous to them.

I believe that every leader of Haïti has one purpose, which is to lead Haïti to the promise land, but the overwhelming challenges make it very difficult. At times, one leader can be impatient, frustrated on how others lead, lose patience and common sense, then take matters into his own hands. As I search for answers, I am convinced that my Brothers and Sisters in the diaspora, with all their expertise in different fields and experiences, can come together and help change the trajectory of Haïti.

I will reject any members of this organization with a political agenda; the mission is to serve the recipients, change their lives from poverty to a life of purpose. I ask that the Haïtian Government to donate one thousand square miles (1,000 sq mi) of land for the construction of a new city. Here are some of the component structures for this project: 40,000 homes, a 50,000-seat stadium, a 30,000-seat church, two elementary schools, two high schools, two trade schools, ten shopping centers/25 stores each, two sleeping quarters, and two distribution centers. With the collaboration of the Haïtian Government and the Haïtian diaspora, we will present a new Haïti to the world without the stigma of a third world country or the poorest country in the Caribbean.

I have written in detail how both parties can achieve such goal in this book, Unity is Our Strength. This project will create thousands of jobs, a new day for millions of Haïtians living in poverty, an environment that is conducive to learning, and purpose for everyone involved.

We should not be in this project for financial gain but to put in place where every recipient can find an opportunity to grow, gain financial independence, rely on each other for support, and work hard to make the world a better place. I believe that poverty can be fixed. What do people want? Something to do during the day, like a job, so they can provide for their families. I came to the U.S. with nothing and made something because of my work ethic. What else can I ask for? I have praise and love for the country and the people who helped me along the way. Haïti also contributed to the person that I am today. As I learned from my bonus country, it is time to give back. This venture will create jobs for its people, keeps fingers on the pulse to improve the living conditions of its residents.

I pray for the Haïtian Government’s generosity to provide land, security to our members, tax exemptions on our equipment, advice, support in any capacities, and more importantly, a driving force toward our effort to arrest poverty. I will ask our recipients to be patient. One may see the development of a site as constructions start to take place but changes in minds and attitudes will take generations. Our country can be as safe, welcoming, and prosperous as any other group of people in the world. It will require all parties involved to work together.

This memorandum has two folds. Primarily, asking the Haïtian Government to acknowledge the diaspora as a force that can help in the deliverance of Haïti. Secondly, alert the children of Haïti in the diaspora to bring their talents and their finances to work together in bringing a new day to their Brothers and Sisters living in deplorable conditions.

The rally of the Haïtian diaspora will not take place until the Haïtian Government gives its blessings.

Respectfully Yours,
A Son of Haïti, Dr. Enock Alcine
