I forgot praying, God will provide or others.

gob.do should just pay them a living wage to stay home. As it is, between legal holidays little work is grudgingly done with a sad face and unwillingness. Dominicans excel at drinking, dancing and making noise. Yes, there is the 10% exception of excellence and intelligence.

Well, If one does not like the UN, don't accept its help, international aid, or money from the IMF. Arrange your own affairs. No-one is forced to participate in the UN or pay for it. Time for the UN to be reformed in many ways. As to cholera in Haiti. The U.N.'s acknowledgement was first...

Canada as the second largest country with enormous natural resources could be a great help for DR and other countries, To supply traditional and renewable resources to the world. Poor leadership and fantasy policies have prohibited this. The only hope is a conservative business oriented...

Not to forget the many Haitians who received shelter in foreign countries Some of them are using their offshore money to get richer and destabilize Haiti even more. Plenty of evidence available.

As it is, there is not much work being done between extensive holidays in the DR. I spend the last two weeks on business in P.P. With a few exceptions.... one can see in their faces and demeanour that even professional people don't feel much like working. In most cases the work is below average...
