Haiti

Dear Haitians, Please be careful of 2 things - first, ALL resources MUST be sourced properly. You have done this in the past, and should always be doing so. Secondly, Wikipedia is NOT a viable research site. Ms. Surridge sent an email with many useful resources - these should be a starting point. D Brundage

The different research each member will do:

1. Size of an average family in your allocated country. - Wendy The estimate size of a average family is about 4 or 5 people. According to the birth rate, the population had increased 1000 in 2010. There are also lots of people in the age from 15 to 64 which is about the marridge year. Since the birth rate is increasing fairly fast so far in 2010 than this should mean that each family will not have many children. And since there was the AIDS increasing and killed 7200 people in 2007 this could mean that the number of the children being borned has been very few in one family. ASlso there was the earthquake that has happened in Haiti which also there will limit the people to born a lot of other childrens for their family. "People::Haiti." //CIA-The World Factbook//. Central Intelligence Agency, n.d. Web. 18 Oct. 2010. [].  2. Food and water needs for an average family in your country. - Ho Seong       3. Political/military/geographical realities of the country. -Cecilie Military Haiti doesn’t have any regular military force however they do that small coast guards.
