Konbit for Port-à-Piment

 October 23, 2008

 Dear citizens and friends of Port-à-Piment,

 We are pleased to inform you that we are in receipt of the official Clean-up project budget from the Mayor’s Office in Port-à-Piment. {Please see attached}. Meanwhile, our fund raising effort continues. As of date we have collected $4175.00 of which checks amounting to $2900.00 have already been deposited at the BNC [Banque Nationale de Credit] in Haiti under the GIPPN account. The remaining checks will be mailed to GIPPN for deposit on Thursday.

We have been advised by our representative, Mr. Edwin Emile, that the Mayor’s office has confirmed November 3^rd as the opening date for the cleanup work. Therefore, GIPPN will be authorized to transfer the required funds to the Mayor on October 30th, 2008.

 As mentioned in our last update, we were on the local radio on Saturday October 11^th, 2008 to inform our brothers and sisters in Port-à-Piment about our initiative. We took the opportunity to tell them about you and the sacrifices being made to respond to our call. We also thanked the Mayor’s Office for their diligence and cooperation.

As evidenced by the budget figures [see attached], the amount collected will be well over the amount projected to do the job. We know that the town has suffered numerous losses and requests for help are pouring in. With this in mind, we have asked the Mayor’s Office and some others interested individuals to forward their ideas and proposals. Meanwhile, the funds will stay on deposit at GIPPN until further notice and automatically be considered as an Emergency Fund. Please be assured that you will be notified on any decision taken by Konbit for Port-à-Piment.

We are moving closer to our goal. We will continue to keep you informed of our actions.

Thank you.

Dear citizens and friends of Port-a-Piment,

We have all been deeply affected by the human tragedy, flooding and destruction of our motherland Haiti from hurricanes Fay, Gustav and Hanna. As a Port-à-Pimentais, the impact is personal.Pictures received from the locals in the aftermath of Hurricane Hanna are heart-wrenching. Debris is clogging our streets. Dormant water spread all over town is a source of contamination and constitutes a serious health hazard that must be dealt with immediately.With scare resources at his disposal, the mayor is overwhelmed by the challenge and needs assistance.

Many of you have asked what you can do to help.Our answer is simple: let’s join hands to act in this unfortunate situation and show that we care by mounting a wide fundraising effort: Konbit for Port-à-Piment. We cannot think of a more appropriate theme to unite our efforts to help the city face the immediate challenge of removing the debris left in the aftermath of the Gran Pass–Gran Rivyè flooding. 

We are working closely with our local association, Group Initiative Pour un Port-à-Piment Nouveau [GIPPN] to facilitate all transfers to the “Mairie de Port-à-Piment”.The funds collected will be earmarked for sanitizing our streets by freeing them of debris and dormant water which pose the most immediate threat.

Please contribute by writing a check made payable to “GIPPN”.Send it to the following address:
