The Bassin Zim Water Fall Near Hinche, Haiti

How are you ?

The last time I went to Hinche, Haiti, my hometown, I took 119 pictures of the Basin Zim water fall.

, Bassin Zim is one of the hidden treasures of Haiti, a place that the local government can use to generate electricity and promote tourism in the Plateau Central.

You notice I did not say the government, nor mention I say Rene Preval.

Rene Preval is from Marmelade.  Chances are Preval will be more worried about growing Bamboos in Marmelade than attracting tourism in my hometown of Hinche, Haiti.

In the mean time, , thousands of gallons of water per second are being wasted in the Bassin Zim Water Fall, A beautiful cave is left unexplored, not one watt of electricity is being generated from Bassin Zim, not a single tourist is paying to see Bassin Zim,  not one dime of revenue is being generated by Bassin Zim.

Instead Haitian Government officials with no vision continue to beg the international community for "MORE MONEY PLEASE!" instead of asking "HOW CAN BASSIN ZIM GENERATE INCOME FOR US?"

You see, Mr. Government official, your brain is a very powerful tool.  If you ask it the question "How Can I?" instead of saying "I CANNOT" it's designed to always give you an answer.

But first... You have to ask.

Now... Repeat after me:

"How can I turn Bassin Zim into a profit machine, a power generating water fall, and a tourist magnet to benefit the Plateau Central in Haiti?"

"How can I generate electricity from the Bassin Zim water fall to electrify Hinche, Los Palis, Thomassique, Papaye, Pignon, and Maissade?"

"How can I...?"
