Hurricane Matthew hits Les Cayes

Hurricane Matthew hits Haiti
Pléiades captures the devastation
Les Cayes

On 4th October,  the eye of Hurricane Matthew, the most powerful hurricane on record in almost a decade, slowly crossed the south-west of Haiti. Les Cayes, the country's third-largest city, was particularly hard hit. Classed as category four (out of five), Hurricane Matthew ripped up trees and destroyed many buildings. The damage can be seen on the Pléiades satellite images acquired on 7 October 2016 compared to archive image ry from 2015.

The International Charter - Space and Major Disasters activated the programming of several satellites over the many sites in Haiti, as well as  Florida and the East Coast of America. Maps of the hurricane's impact were sent to relief organisations and to the authorities of the stricken countries.

Haitian Teen Brothers Build Electronic Toy Trucks Out of Trash

Build Electronic Toy Trucks out of Trash

2 Haitian Teen Brothers Build Electronic Toy Trucks Out of Trash

by Kenold Beauplan September 18, 2016

Wens and Adlin Dimanche are teen inventors in Haiti who build electronic toy trucks out of trash. They started making the trucks after their parents couldn’t afford to buy them any.

“When I was a little kid I used to ask my father for a toy truck, be he couldn’t afford it,” said Adlin, 13. “One day they were working on the road in front of our house with a loader truck. We watched the movements carefully and deiced we were going to create one,” he added.

The brothers are self-taught using creativity and imagination as their guide. Electronic boards are taken from broken boomboxes and empty plastic jugs are used for the truck’s bodies while motors from discarded radios bring them to life.

“I broke down a radio and took the little motors. I connected the power one way, it turned left, and when I connected the power the other way, it turned right. I made connections with wires so the loader could go up and down,” said Wens, 15.

The Dimanche brothers also made a remote control they created with boxes and used four wires to make the connections and create buttons. “Then I assigned the buttons from the right to go left, and the one from the left to go right,” said Wens.

Wens and Adlin attend private school. Their mom’s job as a street vendor pays for it. Wens said he would like to study aboard, to learn how to do electronic toy trucks better, bigger and properly.
