"necessity is the mother of invention!"

"necessity is the mother of invention!" is what i would hear my haitian-mother proudly announce at least twice a day while staying in haiti. haiti, the first free republic of the western world, is no stranger to necessity, and so, the phrase was often exclaimed when witnessing the innovative approaches people used for everyday needs. take my friend, ishmael,  who designed and engineered his own toy car from a motor oil bottle, bottle caps, straws, and some party string. i was impressed to see ishmael running between lush banana trees and tall coffee bean trees pulling his toy car along. with limited access to electricity and little means, a bright little boy like ishmael's necessity was entertainment, and his upcycled toy car provided that. 

i witnessed a lot of genius hacks in haiti including old tires made into rope, a moldy tomato turned into a face mask, car batteries used to light homes, donkey saddles made from woven plastic bags, plastic bottles reused for car oil storage, and roofing made of palm trees.

fort negrita has officially committed to provide ongoing programming for haiti. this will include accessibility to reusable pads and upkeep of medical supplies for the Fayette community, and contributions to environmental education at l’Ecole de la Redemption. you can make a tax-deductible donation here:

    My name is Stefan Doege , I’m from Vegas. it all started when My husband left me for another woman, The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back, I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr Paul, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. Thanks to Dr Paul. if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr Paul for help now..

    This is a very joyful day of my life because of the help PRIEST Salami has rendered to me by helping me get my ex-husband back with his magic and love spell. I was married for 6 years and it was so terrible because my husband was really cheating on me and was seeking a divorce but when I came across PRIEST Salami email on the internet on how he helped so many people to get their ex back and help to fix relationships. and make people happy in their relationship. I explained my situation to him and then sought his help but to my greatest surprise, he told me that he will help me with my case and here I am now celebrating because my Husband has changed totally for good. He always wants to be by me and can not do anything without my presence. I am really enjoying my marriage, what a great celebration. I will keep on testifying on the internet because PRIEST Salami is truly a real spell caster. DO YOU NEED HELP THEN CONTACT DOCTOR PRIEST Salami NOW VIA EMAIL: purenaturalhealer@gmail.com.
