We have a satellite system for our Internet in Haiti. We cannot upload and download a lot of information per month. This limits us a bit on what we can do in Haiti. In December we had a team from CA that set up a projector under the clinic shelter. We are looking for any type of videos for education or basically anything that we could show in the Creole language. I have found a few things on YouTube but am unsure of how or if you can save these videos to a hard drive or external drive so that I can take them back to Haiti with me.
1. Does anyone know how to do this-save a YouTube video so you do not have to have Internet connection to watch it?
2, If this is possible..please…please…please send me some links to videos so I can start getting some downloaded and saved to play under the shelter in the clinic yard. This would be watched by all clinic pateints that pass through the clinic each day. Even videos for kids that we can use for the RC kids would be great-in Creole please.
3. If anyone finds material that is in video form that could be purchased as well let me know. licia@realhopeforhaiti.org
update: THANK YOU! I figured out how to download and save the videos. Now I need your help. Any thing in the haitian Creole language that you can find send my way. It can be cartoons, education anything that we might be able to play for the staff, clinic patients, individual classes, teams, etc. licia@realhopeforhaiti.org I am going to get a external drive tomorrow morning. I would love to make my sis so happy and have it full in tow weeks with tons of vidoes to play. Let’s do it!

If you go to http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Save_YouTube_Videos_To_Your_Hard_Drive that should show you how to download them.
Sorry I’m no help on finding the actual videos…..

Check out this website for the Global media project. Unfortunately the videos are not ready yet but when they are they will be free and are looking at targeting the exact crowds you are wanting too. I will keep my eyes open for when they do become avaliable!
Also do you have a disc burner? If so you can either download the videos to a memory stick or burn them to a disk if you have a dvd player attached to the projector. I’ll look for videos for you too…

This website has videos that you can order (for free, I believe) on Tuberculosis prevention, TB facts, you can beat TB and TB and HIV connection in Creole

April 14, 2011 at 10:41 amWe have 4 of the DOH videos on TB and HIV. They are more geared to Haitians in the US, but they have good info and are very helpful. They were free. I wrote and asked for those and lots of written info too. All free – great resource.

April 14, 2011 at 10:44 amI hadn’t heard of Global Health Media. Wow! This looks very interesting and would be great. Let us know if you see when they are available.

December 22, 2011 at 9:13 amHi all,
I’d like to announce that we just released The Story of Cholera. http://www.globalhealthmedia.org/library/the-story-of-cholera
It’s now available on our website and able to be downloaded free of charge. Because we anticipated we would not have the animation finished when cholera was on the upswing in Haiti, we designed the film for a global audience, with the narration now translated into several languages (though not yet voiced over). We will try to narrate it in Haitian Creole soon.
The film is an educational animation in which a young boy helps a health worker save his father and then guides his village in preventing cholera from spreading. By making the invisible cholera germs visible, this simple animated narrative brings to life the teaching points of cholera prevention. The creation of this animation has been a cooperative effort between the Global Health Media Project and animator Yoni Goodman. We have tried to keep the information consistent with cholera information from Haiti though the nature of an animated short necessitates simplifying messages. We hope we have captured in a simple, visual and memorable way the “Four Safes”: safe hands, safe water, safe food and safe waste. There have been many people and groups who have lent their support, advice and otherwise contributed to this film. Early drafts of the animation were field tested with people from Nepal, Cameroon, Haiti, Tajikistan, Peru, France, and the US.
Please take a look, give us feedback and feel free to share it around.
Thanks and kind regards,
Deb

June 24, 2015 at 9:12 pmI recently was assigned to be home care manager for a Haitian gentleman who speaks only limited English and does not read English at all. He is not illiterate; he can read Creole. I need to get him some written or video material in that language on renal and diabetic diet, peritoneal dialysis, angina, and coronary artery disease. I have been able to locate very little thus far. If anyone knows where I can get any of this stuff…….

March 31, 2016 at 11:38 pmWe are sending projection stations to schools in Cite Soleil, Port Au Prince, Haiti this month. They include dvd players, laptops, speakers and a projector with screen all on a rolling cart. While they are going to be used for teaching students English as a Second Language, Math and Social Studies, they have the potential for being very useful for adult classes too. I just downloaded the Cholera videos and I’m looking for other videos that might be helpful. Have you found other videos in the Haitian Creole language that you would recommend?
Thank you,
Brent

April 5, 2016 at 8:01 amUnfortunately, no. No more than what is listed here in the comments. Lots of French ones, but not Kreyol. I think that it would be a great project for an org to make basic health and prevention films and make them accessible (free or low cost, on DVD). This is a great project and I wish you much success. Thank you for your hard work and efforts.

August 14, 2017 at 3:18 pmI am looking for healthcare material that can be given to patients. Creole materials on hypertension, blood pressure, male and female health issues are top topics.
