Mission statement: ORE is working to improve environmental, agricultural and economic conditions in rural Haiti. In the wake of the recent national disaster, the catastrophic earthquake, ORE is focused on efforts to stabilize the population and offer all available assistance to reduce suffering. Our development projects involve high revenue tree crops, improved seeds, cash crops and marketing programs – designed to increase yields and income, produce nutritionally rich foods, and to protect the environment. As Haiti emerges from its current disaster, these programs will play an important role in long-term recovery.

I have several relatives who were also vicitimized by the earthquake in Haiti. Thank God that they were not seriously hurt. I hope and pray that Haiti would be able to recover soon from this disaster.
I am taking part in a project at the University of Cincinnati that is a compilation of multidisciplinary students and professors. We are looking into every aspect of Haiti and it is clear that you would be an excellent source for agriculture and structural issues. I was hoping you could send me some of your research and handouts that you give to the farmers in reference to different crops and rotations they should use. I also was interested in bamboo and any work you had done with creating jobs through small private industry and structural issues. Thank you so much your advise and assistence will define our work.
