I am so excited to read such wonderful news, not only for the sport of soccer itself, but also for Haitians. The last five decades have certainly not been what one would call nice to Haiti or its people. No need to specify all the atrocities, killings, political purges, disappearances, brain drain, exiles, refugees, boat people, dictators, Marines, Coast Guard, etc. This is definitely a piece of good news, rare as it may be! No doubt that this luxurious complex will be appreciated and used by all. Thank you for all the effort put into making such a dream become reality. My most recent sports mission in Haiti, December of 2007, I worked with 40 coaches from all over the island, using the national Coast Guard soccer field, in Bizoton. Perhaps, one day, such complexes will be available in parts of Haiti, itself, along with equipment for the Haitians to use and play safely. I have dozens of new shoes piled up in my carport, waiting to be donated to the people of Big or Little Haiti. Perhaps, I'll take a day or two off and come down, with some of those shoes, and give them away during the inauguration of this God-sent "new place to play in Little Haiti." Merci! Marvellous!
