I recently received an email from a personal friend of mine actor Jimmy Jean Louis. He may best be known as “The Haitian” on the NBC-TV mega hit show “Heroes.”Louis is actually a Haitian in real life, born and reared. When a monster 7.0 earthquake shook Haiti apart in 2010 the devastation was so bad that Louis immediately went home to see about family and loved ones. Once there he knew he had to do something that would not only bring rebuilding and healing to the nation but also have a positive lasting impact for generations to come.

I hope you can help me save the school.
My non-profit (Hollywood Unites For Haiti) built a school in Haiti
after the devastating earthquake 4 years ago and we’ve been able to give free
education and one hot meal to the 135 kids for the past 4 years. The school is
located in a remote village up in the mountain where there is no electricity or
running water. A couple of weeks ago I received an email from our main donor
saying that they will stop funding because they are facing financial problems.

- 8 teachers and 2 cooks expect a monthly salary until the end of
the school year.
- 135 kids live for that education and especially for the daily
free meal.
- Parents of the students are proud to have a generation of
educated kids capable to bring a real change in the village in the near future.

cover 1 Student monthly education.
I thank you in advance.

taxes.Spread the word to other friends who might be able to help.
One love.

As far as all of the
talk about security problems and violence that one sees on the
“Tell-Lies-Vision” Louis says, “I don’t think that there are any serious
concerns these days. Don’t forget that at the time it was a moment of panic, of
surprise for everyone. So I don’t think anybody knew how to react. But now that
things have settled I don’t believe that there are any security problems.”
Louis even encourages U.S. citizens to visit and vacation in Haiti. He suggest
that anyone can go saying, “Matter of fact, I’m on my way to Haiti now where I
am taking 35 professionals from Miami for a visit so they can experience Haiti
for five great days of vacation and come back and tell people what they saw and
what they think about Haiti. There is hope. We just have to focus on the right
issues.”
