Dear City Manager,
I am hereby requesting to be placed on
July 11, 1991 City Commission agenda to discuss the reason the
Haitian American Civic Club, Inc. has been so neglected and
discriminated by the City of Miami.
Although the staff did not recommend any
funding for this organization, the advisory members voted for an
allocation of $ 50,000.00 on behalf of this program.
I made the presentation requested by the
Commission board of the City of Miami, however this program has
been denied for funding from the Community development.
Thank you very much for your Cooperation
and your understanding in putting me for personal appearance for
that date.
Sincerely,

Mr. Ricot Fertil has shown his civic awareness and responsibility
in trying to help impact and alleviate a problem that he sees in
the community. He has established the non-profit Haitian
American Civic organization, which he hopes to help fight child
abuse.
He is now seeking funding to carry on the work, to all concerned
parties, his funding requests should be keenly evaluated and
wherever possible, his organization should be considered for some
type of funding.
Sincerely,

To whom it may concern:
It is my understanding that the Haitian American Civic Association under
the direction of Ricot Fertil is seeking funds in order to conduct a pro=
gram to prevent child abuse.
The Haitian community in Miami is growing by leaps and bounds. During the
last 10 years records at Jackson Memorial Hospital will show that some
30,000 children have been born to Haitian mothers in Dade County alone!
Given this large target population I am convinced that the goals of the
project are laudable and I support these efforts to secure an "ounce" of
prevention and thus avoid the social costs of supplying "pounds" of cure
in later years.
Sincerely,

It was a pleasure meeting with you and Ms. Vivian Lisazo of Commissioner Miller
Dawkins' Office last week to discuss your proposed child abuse prevention program
for the Haitian community. Your understanding of the needs of this target group
and your caring approach to the problem is commendable.
As you are aware, there is a tremendous need for facilities and services to address
the needs of this at -risk population and we heartily endorse your efforts in this
area. Please feel free to share this letter of support with other potential
funding sources.
We wish you success in this endeavor and are prepared to help with operational
technical assistance should you require it.

The problem of child abuse has become a very important
issue in the American way of life. American parents are
struggling to find new and creative approaches to modify
children's behavior.
This is even more crucial for parents who immigrated
from countries where severe corporal punishments are perfectly
legal. We believe that a Haitian agency that would devote time
and effort to help bridge the gaps between the American and the
Haitian way of disciplining children would serve a useful
purpose. It would facilite the tasksof parents, educators and
protective service investigators.
We, therefore, support the Haitian American Civic Club,
Inc. and recommend it to the attention of the funding agencies.
Feel f:ee to contact me at 754-7531 for further
information, if necessary.
Sincerely,
Roland JEAN-LOUIS
