This is the second list of Internet Resources for teachers and students engaged in project-based research about Haitian Culture. The first one was distributed to the teachers and students who participated in the Konbit Kreyol Haitian Flag Day Parade and Cultural Fair held at Miami Edison Middle in May 1998. Konbit Kreyol, now in its 9^th year, has attracted an average of 2,000 students a year since its inception at

Miami-Dade Community College North in 1989 with approximately 300 participants.

We hope this mini-Internet resource handout will help you rediscover the beauty and mysteries of our Haitian Heritage during the month of February and throughout the year. And, we hope to see you again during Konbit Kreyol in 2000 and every year thereafter, especially in 2004 when Haiti celebrates its 200^thanniversary of its independence !

Take a virtual tour of Haiti and view pictures of some of the most famous historical sites in Haiti.

This excellent Haiti on WWW site has an interesting Haitian Genealogy link where kids can trace their ancestry by last names and learn about the roots of such families as Dessalines and Louverture. A must see ! They can submit their own Genealogy information.

Last but not least, a miscellaneous site that has a bit of everything ! It has a forum for actual live discussions with questions and answers about Haiti and its culture as well as book titles and where to find them. The other site is from the library of congress and is an excellent source of information for doing a comprehensive report on Haiti. It is organized by chapters.
