akeyi --- Welcome
This Weebly website is the culmination of a month of research in my Globalization History Class. For my 3rd quarter benchmark my peer and I were given the project of picking a country that is not ‘1st world’ and learning about their Millennium Development Goals.
The country I chose was Haiti. Columbus discovered Haiti in 1942. Afterwards Haiti was made a French colonized settlement. The individuals that inhabited the island were taught French, which is now mixed with Creole. Haiti shares a border with The Dominican Republic. In January 2010, a 7.0 earthquake struck southwest of Port-au-Prince, the country's capital. Also during 2010 an epidemic of Cholera, water borne disease, struck Haiti leaving many still ill into the oncoming New Year.
With in this website are points on how Haiti is ranked globally and how I believe we can help return them to a healthy standing.
