How prevalent is anti-white racism in Haiti? by alfredterry
I am planning a move there, but stories about the race war and brutally of the Haitian Revolution are frightening me cold. I know whites are around 5 percent of the population. Is that true?
Just returned from another trip to Haiti. Although we were warned away from some areas and travel after dark, we traveled to outlying areas and were treated very well by those we met. I love Haiti and her people (although I find the ... Read More
Common misconceptions and clich茅s about life in Haiti by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Old clich茅s die hard, as the saying goes... and living in Haiti can generate lots of misconceptions in the eyes of the people. What are the most common misconceptions about the expat lifestyle in Haiti? What are the most ...
I did not have any preconceived ideas when I traveled the first time to Haiti right after the earthquake. For me, the idea that all foreigners are "riche" is not true. I serve at a small orphanage where paying the bills can be difficult. ... Read More
Adapting to the climate in Haiti by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Adjusting to new climatic conditions is key in any expatriation process. Moving to Haiti is no exception. What are the climate characteristics of Haiti? How does the local weather impact your daily life, mood or ...
I don't live in Haiti full-time; I travel there about once a year. Since electrical service is "iffy" at best (frequent disruptions and outages), be prepared for the heat without A/C (some people have generators for those times). ... Read More

Many families were destroyed during the 2010 earthquake. Orphanages can always use assistance. There is a great need for medical care, and the needs of the elderly are under-served. Read More

I stayed with a Haitian pastor and his family and was the only "white" person in the community. I never experienced anti-white racism; on the contrary, I felt welcome and safe. (This was not a rich area.) As is true anywhere, you have ... Read More
