Cap Haitian, Haiti
Would you believe one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere is only 3 hours by plane from Fort Lauderdale, Florida?
I couldn’t believe it either until I saw it on February 22, 2007. We hadn’t flown to Africa or India or Pakistan. We were in the Caribbean. You know – lifestyles of the Rich and Famous playground.
I spent the day with my good friends Frank McKinney and Mark Evans in Cap Haitian, Haiti. Frank and Mark are both best selling authors in the Real Estate Field. Frank builds some of the worlds most expensive spec homes (mansions) in Palm Beach Florida. Frank chartered a plane and flew a delegation of his charity donors to Cap Haitian, Haiti. We witnessed the contrast between despair and great hope that this poor country holds. We took part in the dedication of the second village that Franks Caring House Project Foundation has built in Haiti.
Words cannot describe what we saw, smelled and experienced that day!
I have been involved in the construction of these self sustaining villages that take orphaned children and families out of the dumps (a real garbage dump in a big swamp) and move them into safe and sanitary housing where they are educated, are fed while watching over them in regards to their health and welfare. Additional information on Frank McKinney’s website www.frank-mckinney.com with a recorded message from him (turn up your sound). Also check out his Multi-Million $$ homes that he builds. Frank often considers himself a modern day Robin Hood. Selling these incredible Mansions to the Rich so that he can build homes for the homeless in the poorest locations in the world. His current project is a $135 Million Dollar Spec Home on the beach just south of Palm Beach.
