"The objective of Yéle Haiti is to restore pride and a reason to hope, and for the whole country to regain the deep spirit and strength that is part of our heritage" - me
Background
To raise awareness around my organization, Yéle Haiti. At its core, Yéle Haiti is rooted in the pride and undying optimism of the Haitian people. Projects are designed to make a difference in the fields of education, health, environment and community development through the power and reach of music, sports and the media. Each of Yéle’s projects is conceived as a catalyst for the larger goal of helping to leverage resources and foster renewed hope for Haitians to rebuild their nation. Central to this mission is helping to project a new forward-thinking image that accurately reflects Haiti’s youthful population and their unique and irrepressible spirit, which is an integral part of their culture. I firmly believe that given a genuine opportunity to shape the future, Haiti’s youth will shock the world with their ability to take Haiti to the next level.
