Miss Haiti International! What?

I was invited on December 29th at the Miss Haiti International 2006, which I believe is a great Initiative but yet needs serious improvement. People just don’t care anymore about Haiti’s Image.
What can we do?
That was a question asked to one of the contestants to which she answered by saying that our streets needed cleanup and more. OK, nice but in my humble opinion I taught she would propose a plan to educate us Haitians about how to care more about our country, which will push more of us to love our heritage and culture.
If you were granted one last wish, what would it be?
To this question another contestant replied ” I would love to go to an Island with my family, where there is no cell phone and live happily”
Really I wonder where is Haiti’s youth going? Whatever happened to the world, Haiti, the poor. I believe this was a selfish answer specially coming from a contestant taking part of Miss Haiti 2006, where she is suppose to be an image, roll model for Haiti in the future.
I have been going to many organized events lately, from Band press release to Clubs. I every time criticized their lack of organization, but that was until I saw how Miss Haiti’s organization was executed.
From what I saw, I think the only thing they prepared or rehearsed were the music to which the contestants performed.
From the start Miss Cap-Haitien did not even know the path for her stage walk. The show host constantly had to check her paper to make sure that she had the right names. The co-show host did not even know what judge belong to what name. The sound guys played “Illegal” when “Hips don’t lie” was needed.
A Compas band playing gets more advertising than Miss Haiti.
People, including family of contestants, got on site really late; “We was home chilling dawg, we knew that s**t would start late” were the comments of a family member.
I really am not taking on them (Miss Haiti Producers), but I belive that this event was supose to be a diamond piece for Haiti’s culture. Too bad, due to an unsafe country it had to be done in Florida, but I still think that the government should have been involved for Haiti is a small country as Miss Jacmel, now Miss Haiti, said it:”Haiti needs exposure”.
We need lots of support.
Not only from the officials but also from our music industry, the bloggers, the online communities, and all other parties.
