$3.3 MILLION FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE STRUCTURES OF THE CHURCH IN HAITI
(Haiti Libre) -
The Episcopal Conference of the United States of America (USCCB) has announced the delivery of aid to the Church in Latin America for a total value of $5 million. 121 projects of various pastoral and reconstruction works in 20 countries of the Latin American region will be financed, with a strong focus on Haiti. The main voice is in fact devoted to the reconstruction of the structures of the Church in Haiti, with $3.3 million. After the January 12, 2010 earthquake, which destroyed much of the country, the Church is committed to a meticulous process of reconstruction in accordance with the standards of safety and effective prevention.
According to our information, major projects include the construction of a multipurpose building at the Diocese of Jacmel, and the reinforcement of the structure of the Cathedral of Miragoâne (Diocese of Anse-à-Veau et Miragoâne). Mgr. Thomas Gerard Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, a member of the Advisory Group for Haiti of the USCCB, said about this project, that "the strengthening of the Cathedral are realized with the latest technology, not only to prevent deaths in a possible future earthquake, but also to help save the historic Cathedral."
The support for priestly and religious vocations is another point of emphasis for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: for the formation of the clergy, seminarians, men and women religious of which $650,000 were allocated.

ARTICLE - UN - ROAD- BASSIN BLEU
REHABILITATION OF 20 KM OF ROAD BETWEEN GROS MORNE AND BASSIN BLEU
(Haiti Libre) -
As part of the institutional support of the UN Mission to the Haitian authorities, 24 engineers from the Indonesian Military Engineering Contingent (INDOENGCOY), began a major repair work of 20 km of road, which is dirty, muddy and strewn with pot-holes, unfit for circulation, which links the towns of Gros Morne (Artibonite) and Bassin Bleu (Northwest). This work should be completed by mid-August 2012. The Indonesian contingent with heavy machinery, should flatten, fill, compress and crush the surface, and ensure the smooth flow of rainwater on this road of eight meters width.
"I struggled for several years to repair only two kilometers of this road, without success. Imagine my relief when I see 20 kilometers under repair, especially during this rainy season!" declared Rodner Antoine Daméus, the main Mayor of Gros-Morne. According to him, these improvements will enhance the traffic between the two departments, reduce the risk of traffic accidents, and facilitate the transport of francisques mangoes, the main production of the region [approximately 50% of mangoes exported to the U.S.].
Deployed for over a year in the Artibonite, the Indonesian Military Engineering Contingent has already rehabilitated 6 road axes in the department, including Ennery, Grande Saline, Dessalines, and St-Marc.

The project also includes the construction and donation of two other sailboats and fishing accessories, without forgetting the training of fishermen and of saleswomen. This project is funded to the tune of U.S. $48,000 as part of a Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) of the Minsutah.
Thanks to this project, APLA now has two shallops with a motor, and two sailboats, 14 life jackets for deep sea fishing, a small shed with a fridge for fish conservation, powered by 12 new batteries and a solar panel, a scale to weigh the fish, and other equipment for fishing. "With these materials, we will able to fish in the deep sea and bring back quality fish, big fish, and keep them fresh for sale," stated Jean Célion Dargout, the Deputy Coordinator of APLA.
The 72 members of the fishing association founded in 2007, will now increase safety and efficiency, thanks to large fiberglass shallops.

The Minustah launched last week, two projects to provide drinking water in Pointe des Mangles and Bonald, situated west of Gonaïves, and to the town of Saut d'Eau and of localities in Rivière Canot and Noyau...
Pointe des Mangles and Bonald :
This project aims to increase the availability of drinking water to approximately 20 liters per person per day for the agglomerations of Pointe des Mangles and Bonald, two localities situated west of Gonaïves. The NGO Agro Action Allemande (AAA), responsible for carrying out the work, will install galvanized pipe over a length of 11 km, to bring water from La Tiplace, a remote community where there flows a spring, to these two cities, who don't have one. Seven tanks will also be built, with five in Pointes des Mangles, and two in Bonald. This project is funded by the United Nations Mission for Stabilization in Haiti (MINUSTAH), to the tune of $95,000 U.S. dollars.
Town of Saut d'Eau:
A rehabilitation project and an extension of a water supply system in the municipality of Saut d'Eau, was launched in the presence of the Deputy delegate of the arrondissement of Saut d'Eau, residents, religious, and community leaders, representatives of the Civil Affairs Section of the Minustah, and the organization running the project. Funded by the Minustah to the tune of U.S. $97,000, this work will enable 19,000 inhabitants of the downtown of Saut d'Eau, and of the localities of Rivière Canot and Noyau, to have access to drinking water.

The XVI Annual Exhibition, "Bolsa Turística del Caribe (BTC)" (Caribbean Tourism Exchange), which was held in Santo Domingo, ended on Saturday June 30 with the conclusion of agreements for Multidestination Tourism, between Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti.
Stéphanie Balmir Villedrouin, the Minister of Tourism of Haiti, and her delegation reached an agreement with the municipality of Mayagüez (Puerto Rico), in order to integrate the best travel deals to allow two or more destinations for an insignificant price difference. Under the agreement, the maritime transport company "America Cruise Ferrie" would conduct two trips per week between Mayaguez and Santo Domingo, offering tourists a two-night stay in the capital of the Dominican Republic with a two night additional stay in Cap-Haitien (north of Haiti). The trip to Cap Haitien and the return to Santo Domingo, would be by land.
The Haitian Minister of Tourism has also proposed a multi-destination plan, for tourists staying in Puerto Plata (North of Dominican Republic), to add 2 nights to their stay to a destination in Cap-Haitien.
Stéphanie Balmir Villedrouin also wanted to reassure the tourism stakeholders, and future tourists on the issue of security, by announcing that Haiti will have a tourist police constituted of 1,200 members to welcome, inform and protect visitors in Haiti, as is the case in many countries, including the Dominican Republic.
Questioned by the Dominican press on the issue of trade between the two nations, the Minister lamented that the Dominican beer "Presidente" is sold freely in Haiti, while the Haitian National Beer "Prestige" was not authorized for sale in the Dominican Republic... She told reporters that smuggling at the borders made loses each month, of several million dollars to Haiti, which justified the establishment of measures and regulations to eliminate illegal trade between the two countries.

ARTICLE - UPDATED TRAVEL WARNING - USA
TRAVEL WARNING
(Embassy of the United States, Port-au-Prince, Haiti
June 18, 2012
The Department of State has issued this Travel Warning to inform U.S.
citizens traveling to or living in Haiti about the security situation in
Haiti. This replaces the Travel Warning dated August 8, 2011, to update
information regarding the crime level, the prevalence of cholera, lack
of adequate infrastructure - particularly in medical facilities -
seasonal severe inclement weather, and limited police protection. The
United Nations' Stabilization Force for Haiti (MINUSTAH) remains in
Haiti.
The Department of State urges U.S. citizens to exercise caution when
visiting Haiti. Hundreds of thousands of Americans safely visit Haiti
each year, but the poor state of Haiti's emergency response network
should be carefully considered when planning travel. Travelers to Haiti
are encouraged to use organizations that have solid infrastructure,
evacuation, and medical support options in place. (Please see the
Country Specific Information page for Haiti.)
U.S. citizens have been victims of violent crime, including murder and
kidnapping, predominately in the Port-au-Prince area. No one is safe
from kidnapping, regardless of occupation, nationality, race, gender, or
age. In recent months, travelers arriving in Port-au-Prince on flights
from the United States were attacked and robbed shortly after departing
the airport. At least two U.S. citizens were shot and killed in such
incidents. Haitian authorities have limited capacity to deter or
investigate such violent acts, or prosecute perpetrators.
The authorities' ability to respond to emergencies is limited and in
some areas nonexistent. Should a traveler find him or herself in an
emergency, local health, police, judicial and physical infrastructure
limitations mean that travelers find themselves with few local resources
available to help them to resolve their problem. For this reason, the
Embassy limits travel by its staff to areas outside of Port-au-Prince,
which constrains our ability to provide emergency services to U.S.
Citizens outside of Port-au-Prince.
U.S. Embassy personnel are under an Embassy-imposed curfew of midnight to 5:00 a.m. and must remain at home or other safe facility during curfew hours. Additionally, there are restrictions on travel by Embassy staff in certain areas or times. This may constrain the Embassy's ability to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens outside Port-au-Prince. For additional details on restrictions on staff travel
within Haiti, please see our Country Specific Information for Haiti.
The Haitian National Police (HNP), with assistance from MINUSTAH, is
responsible for keeping peace and rendering assistance. However, given
the possibility and unpredictability of violent protests, its ability to
assist U.S. citizens during disturbances is very limited. U.S.
government-facilitated evacuations, such as the evacuation that took
place from Haiti in 2010, occur only when no safe commercial
alternatives exist. Please see our website for additional information on
how the Department of State assists U.S. citizens during a crisis.
Haiti's infrastructure remains in poor condition and unable to support
normal activity, much less crisis situations. Medical facilities,
including ambulance services, are particularly weak. Some U.S. citizens
injured in accidents and others with serious health concerns have been
unable to find necessary medical care in Haiti and have had to arrange
and pay for medical evacuation to the United States. Given these
conditions and the cost of private evacuations, we strongly encourage
visitors to Haiti to obtain evacuation insurance, including for medical
issues that may arise.
While incidents of cholera have declined significantly, cholera persists
in many areas of Haiti. Prior to travel, U.S. citizens should also
obtain information about cholera and other health related issues by
visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
U.S. citizens who choose to travel to Haiti are urged to review our
Country Specific Information page. U.S. private sector organizations with operations in Haiti can obtain additional information on the security situation in the country through the U.S. Department of State's Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC). OSAC's mission is to promote security cooperation between U.S. private sector interests worldwide and the U.S. Department of State. OSAC also maintains an active Country Council in Haiti to promote the exchange of security-related information. The Council is comprised of security professionals and is co-chaired by the Regional Security Officer at the U.S. Embassy Port-au-Prince and a private sector representative. U.S. private sector entities can obtain additional information on OSAC by visiting the OSAC website.
U.S. citizens are also urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment
Program (STEP) in order to receive the most up-to-date security information. While the Embassy's ability to provide emergency consular services is extremely limited, travel enrollment will enable receipt of warden messages via email. Current information on safety and security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States; callers outside the United States and Canada can receive the information by calling a regular toll-line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, except U.S. federal holidays. The Embassy of the United States of America is located in Port-au-Prince at Boulevard du 15 Octobre, Tabarre 41, Tabarre, Haiti, telephone: (509) (2) 229-8000, facsimile: (509) (2) 229-8027, email: acspap@state.gov American Citizens Services (ACS) Unit office hours are 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
