It’s very early Thursday morning and I have just landed in Miami on my way to Port au Prince, Haiti. Since I will be in meetings from the moment I deplane in Port au Prince, I thought it best to check-in now while I have a access to the Internet. As has become my routine,

March 25 via mobile Haiti Trip (March) Day Seven: On January 14, 2013, I officially implemented a Business Incubator and Career Pathing initiative at University Lumiere. Since that day more than half of the schools’ 2,500 students have actively vied for one of the 90 available slots in the University of Lumiere Business Incubator program

In any event, in a few minutes I will depart for the airport in Port au Prince en-route to Mole Saint-Nicolas. Since Mole does

  Haiti Trip (March); Day One: It’s very early Tuesday morning and I am awaiting my flight from Tampa to Miami en route to Haiti. Since I will be on the go from the moment I deplane in Port au Prince, I thought it wise to check-in now while I have a access to the
