Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made his first visit to Haiti Monday promising more that 20 million dollars in aid for various health and education projects. Haiti was the last country on Chavez's presidential trip that included five countries and shadowed political enemy President George Bush's five country tour of Latin America. Upon his arrival thousands of jubilant slum dwellers greeted Chavez outside the airport. Not one to miss out on a moment with his admirers Chavez leaned out of his SUV grabbing hands and bumping fist with people as he drove by. The elated crowds chanted "Long Live Chavez, and Down With Bush," as the presidential motorcade moved through the sea of people. Meeting with President Preval at the Venezuelan embassy the two presidents enjoyed small talk and met with a unit of Venezuelan army engineers who are working on various development projects in the capital. Chavez said the he was extremely moved by the emotional response from the people of Haiti and added later that it was his country's duty to help the beleaguered nation citing several historical connections. Venezuela is not a member of the 9,000 strong United Nations mission in Haiti, aimed at restoring order and a functioning democratic government to the country. In fact Chavez was openly opposed to the controversial departure of former President Aristide and the U.S. sponsored interim government. However, since Rene Preval was elected in President in 2006 the Chavez regime has enjoyed warm relations with Haiti and offered millions of dollars in aid. This time around Venezeula is offering nearly 20 million dollars in health and education resources to Haiti. Last year Haiti joined a Venezuelan oil subsidy program called Petrocaribe, which provides preferential payment options for financially strapped countries like Haiti Preval has said his country saves nearly 150 millon dollars a year because of the program. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and desperately needs all the help it can get to recover from years of violence and political turmoil. Officials also said in a joint aid mission Cuba and Venezuela plan to provide five electric power plants to Haiti which suffers from chronically short energy supplies.

Royal Caribbean Voyager: Labadee, Haiti introduction to the island taken from the balcony of our suite. I think I mistook the ''private beach" advertising message to mean a "private island" off of Haiti. In fact, Labadee is really just a long and beautiful peninsula of Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, and Royal Caribbean has greatly increased the standard of living in this section of the country. The average annual Haitian income is $250; Haitian employees of RCCL make that every two weeks! It gives perspective: wages that would be considered sub-minimum wage in the USA make a Haitian an extremely wealthy person

It served as the farmer's hedge against bad weather, crop failure and all sorts of unforeseen occurrences. In 1982, the US government responded to an African Swine Flu outbreak in the Dominican Republic by ordering the complete eradication of all of Haiti's Creole pigs. Produced by Grassroots International - a U.S. based social justice organization partnering with the National Congress of Papaye Peasant Movement (MPNKP) in Haiti - this video tells the story of the eradication, the hardship it caused, and the efforts of Haitian organizations to reintroduce this key economic asset
