From:  haitiafrica2004  <mail@haitiafrica2004.org>

Dear Corbeteers

Pass the words around in the Haitian Community in Dade and Broward
counties; Miami Dade College is offering 3 computer courses in Creole.
The courses are 6 to 12 hours and cost less than $50 each.
The best part of it is:
No SS# and No need of Rheto or Philo Certificate are required

This course is really for Haitians willing to get some computer
knowledge or an opportunity for young immigrants that left Haiti but do
not have legal status to get acquainted to the College system here.

Call the Community School department at MDC (305) 237 1025 for more info

From: OLOFFSONRAM@aol.com

 D. was arrested on a Thursday night as he was leaving the Oloffson
after
 a RAM concert. He was a radio promoter and worked for a few bands. At
the
 time many journalists in Haiti were in hiding or trying to get out of
the
 country. Jean Dominique had been shot and killed and Lindor Brignol had
 been macheteed to death.D. was taken from the gates of the Oloffson to
 the Croix des Bouquets jail a couple of towns over, right behind the
 church. The Croix Des Bouquets jail had replaced Fort Dimanche in
 notoriety. One cell, one corner to sleep, one corner to go to the
 bathroom and somewhere between 15-25 prisoners. Everyone stood.
Typically
 at 3am they would call out the names of a few of the prisoners, who
would
 then be taken outside and shot (they called it <escape>). D was taken
 along with about twelve other people and paraded around on television
as
 an accussed kidnapper. I asked around and was advised not to go visit
him
 at the jail. I got myself a driver and went anyway. It was D's wife, 18
 and pregnant, somewhere between child and adult, that told me where he
 was. When I got to the jail, I walked up to the two guards, said hello
 and asked them how they were doing. They asked me if I would be going
out
 for Carnival. It was then that a young girl came out of the small
prison
 house, looked at me and said <Monsieur Richard, they have my father>.
She
 broke out into tears. Empty plates in her hands. D's 12 year old
daughter
 had brought him some food. I looked at the guards and asked permission
to
 enter. They nodded yes. In we went. It took a bit for my eyes to
adjust.
 I could start to make out sillouettes of the heads inside through the
 window. D came to the front, in tears, <mr Richard, look what they've
 done to me!>. Another prisoner sang from the back <you got to love
 everybody>, reference to a song we had on the radio.A night or two
later
 15 people were taken out and shot (escaped). D was left to live. After
a
 month we got him transferred to the Penitencier Nationale, another
month
 later he was released and a few weeks after that we got him out of the
 country. He survived. Grace a Dieu et Sán pa we yo.
