No FREE Houses In Haiti, President Martelly Says
This week is reconstruction week in Haiti and Haitian president Michel Martelly made it very clear that there will be "No Gift Of Housing" contrary to popular belief.
Monday July 18 was the official launch of Haiti Reconstruction week, There was a big ceremony at Haiti's National Bank (BRH) attended by many dignitaries where lots of models of downtown Port-au-Prince were showcased.
During that ceremony, President Martelly said:
"Together with my government, we will... provide access to home loans to those with small pockets (credit immobilier aux petites bourses). It is understood that there will be no gift of housing"
"We must finally leave the logic of emergency and turn the country into the future, to reconstruction.."
How will the public react to this?
In Haiti everyone expects something for nothing. In Haiti's Tent cities, it seems most if not all the Earthquake survivors are on hold and waiting for a FREE home to be handed down to them.
Side Note: When I first arrived the United States, the first 5 words I learned in English were: "Nothing Is FREE In America."
It almost seem that the first 5 words in Haitian Creole are: "Vinn Pran... Gratis Ti Cheri!"
Question:
What will be the public reaction when they learn that there will be no gift of housing in Haiti.
