Rebattie Haiti...A SUCCESS!

....OK.. its eight o'clock and my nerves are getting to me. I am searching for a place in my mind that is peaceful and does not allow me to worry. I try to find a corner in the BVIC(Bronzeville Visitors Information Center)to gather my thoughts. However no matter where I go somebody seems to find me.

I take the elevator downstairs and meet up with Charles one of the individuals who helped to plan this event. We begin to talk about FAVOR....ahhhh...FAVOR...my favorite word. Just what I needed to hear. At That moment I knew everything would be fine.

I spoke to Misrak of Organic Funk Productions and after speaking with her my nerves started to settle.

God is so AMAZING!!. People started coming in and any element of worry I had soon dissipated. My sister Joelle Lamarre opened the event with some background on our organization The Haitian Advancement Foundation.




Lid Law, P1 and J. Hill gave some amazing performances.My mother made some great food, my friend Victor Moore and his wife Briana kept the libation flowing and Dj Kmax played some great music. The vibe was positive and we almost made our goal of $1000.00. REBATTIE HAITI...REBUILD HAITI was a SUCCESS.

It feels wonderful to know how successful this event was, but let us not forget we have so much more work to do.

Haiti needs us more and more each day. HAF is dedicated to the economic development of Haiti through education. We understand that it is the responsibility and right of The Haitian people to make these changes on their own terms. HAF is here to assist.

As we grow we will continue to reach out to all of you and our hope is that you understand our motivation and help us to preserve and grow Haiti's rich culture.

Thank you to all who have supported and continue to support HAF and Rebbatie Haiti Rebuild Haiti.

Stay Focused, Positive and Productive

... A Month Later.....Rebattie Haiti...Rebuild Haiti...Feb 20th With Precise

It has been one month since the tragic earthquake that decimated Haiti happened. The news coverage has slowed down and it is no longer a number one trending topic on twitter. However the effort to Rebuild Haiti is very much alive and well, and I am humbly asking that you join in our efforts.

As many as One Million people are homeless, children are being displaced and a countless number have lost their lives.Our assistance and aid is needed NOW more than ever.

On February 20, 2010 at the Bronzeville Visitors Information Center on 411 E 35th St in Chicago from 8pm to 1am, The Haitian Advancement Foundation in conjunction with Organic Funk Productions and The Haitian Jane Project presents Rebattie Haiti....Rebuild Haiti a fundraiser for Haitian Relief. Performances By Precise, P1, Lid Law and J. Hill with Music By Dj Kmax and The Collards.

The purpose of this event is to raise money for the schools that have crumbled in the wake of such a major disaster.We also want to raise the awareness of Haiti's rich history.

Our Goal is to raise $1000 in this ongoing effort to Rebuild Haiti.

I hope you are able to make it out. If you are not able to make it, all that I ask is that you forward this email to at least 100 of your contacts in order to make them aware of a way that they can help reshape the world.

With your help or goal is more than attainable and it moves us one step closer to Rebuilding Haiti! REBATTIE HAITI!!!
