Creating Haitian Jobs by Resurrecting a Failed Business

Haiti Trip; Day One: Unlike previous trips where my first day was primarily a travel day, this trip is slated to start off with great intensity and intrigue.

From the moment I de-plane in Port au Prince, I will be escorted through immigration by a specially assigned security agent to ensure my expeditious processing. I will then be driven to a nearby hotel where I’ll conduct a several hours long mediation session with a group of Haitian business leaders.

Since all of the attendees are facing a litany of troubles that include a pending lawsuits in US Federal Court, red flags at the US Embassy in Haiti regarding violence and malfeasance at one of their mining site, the specter of numerous lawsuits against them and the squandering of hundreds of thousands dollars, I fully expect this meeting to be contentious and filled with drama.

In any event, my goal for this meeting is simple: to help resurrect a failed business venture and to help hundreds of Haitians achieve gainful employment.
