Investing in Haiti is a clear case of “kote k gen kou pa gen chenn”—Where there are necks there are no necklace. I have met a lot of people who are interested in Haiti but lack knowledge, talent, discipline or financial backing to successfully invest in Haiti. I have met others who have what it takes but lack the desire to engage in impactful projects in Haiti. In both camps emotions run wild: fear, anger, jealousy, greed, love etc. It is important that you identify your own emotions and in most instances have your questions answered.
