interviews

the end of last week and yesterday was about getting some people to conduct interviews. I got in touch with the foreign affairs department in Ottawa and I might get a chance to interview mme Ginette Martin, director of the direction in Haiti by the end of March. There is also a good chance I go to Ottawa to meet her (if that does not work, I also can do the onterview via telephone). I was speaking to Marlene Zalatta her administrative assistant and she said she would confirm to me by the beginning of next week.

I also called the Haitian Consulate in Toronto, but Dr Eric Pierre, the person in charge of the consulate is absent until March 18th. Hence, I will call back on monday March 19 to book an interview with him.

I also sent an email to professor Voegeli Juste-Constant, contact that I use very often in my radio show in Fusion Radio. He reports the news from Haiti and from the Black/haitian community in Toronto. If I do not hear from him early this week, I will most likely talk to him on saturday. Professor Voegeli has extensive knowledge on the relations between Canada and Haiti. Moreover, he has tremendous knowledge on Haiti's history which would be great to make connections and links.
