Welcome to the Second Annual
International Congress of Haitian
Diaspora. We thank you in advance for
taking the opportunity to get acquainted
with the purpose of this Congress and to
peruse all pertinent related
information.
Themed "HAITIAN DIASPORA UNITY
CONGRESS", the purpose of the 2009
Congress -- "La Grande Reunion de la
Famille Haitienne" -- is to coalesce and
capitalize on the Haitian Diaspora´s
resources (intellectual, financial,
professional, and charitable, etc.) to
develop solution-oriented strategies to
aid Haitians at home and abroad. |
 |
For Haiti, the
emphasis will be on economic
independence -- boosting tourism,
stimulating agricultural production,
restoring forests and ecology, managing
water supplies, preparing for disasters,
achieving literacy, thus creating new
jobs in cities and the countryside.
For the millions of Haitians outside
Haiti, the emphasis will be on ways to
improve the Diaspora's integration into
the fabric of their adopted countries -
increasing education and employment
opportunities, overcoming declining
earnings and relative poverty, and
advocating justice and fair immigration
and justice.
Conference participants are expected to
gain a consensus how to best tackle the
daunting challenges of Haiti's
underdevelopment, and how to best
leverage our adopted lands´ capital
(educational, professional, electoral,
etc) to improve ours and our children's
future and how to transplant change to
Haiti.

President Bill Clinton to
speak at The Haitian League’s 2009 Haitian
Diaspora Unity Congress
in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
MIAMI, Fl
– Former President Bill Clinton announced he
will attend and address the 2009 Haitian
Diaspora Unity Congress which will take place at
the Trump International Beach Resort, Sunny
Isles Beach, Florida, on August 6-9, 2009.
The purpose of this congress is to combine and
capitalize on the Haitian Diaspora resources to
develop solution-oriented strategies to aid
Haitians at home and abroad. This event brings
together Haitians from all over the world,
government officials and leaders from aid
organizations to discuss assisting development
in Haiti. Topics scheduled include boosting the
island’s agriculture, promoting education and
health, and building tourism, among others.
Doctor Rudolph Moise, Chairman of Haitian
Diaspora Unity Congress, was thrilled to learn
of President Clinton’s participation. "President
Clinton is a perfect speaker for this event as
the United Nations’ Special Envoy for Haiti,"
said Doctor Moise. "His experience in working
with Haiti’s government will certainly provide
insight for the attendees of this conference on
how to best aid Haiti and help the country
develop a better standard of living overall."
Last year, Haiti was beset with numerous crises,
from a global rise in food prices to four storms
that devastated the island, killing hundreds and
leaving thousands more homeless.
The 2009 Haitian Diaspora Unity Congress is
being organized by The Haitian League with the
cooperation of its chapters and affiliates, and
numerous other supporting organizations and
agencies. This will be the first time that
representatives of Haitian Diaspora from
different parts of the world will convene under
one roof to find long-term solutions to the
major issues that plague Haitians in and out of
Haiti. The Haitian League is a 501(c) 3
tax-exempt organization headquartered in the
State of New Jersey, concerned about and
dedicated to improving the quality of life for
Haitians worldwide.
