“I would like to thank you for a wonderful event and the work that you are doing. As Ms. Jean
stated, with many hands, the
load will be less…. I sincerely believe that will make great things happen for my beloved
Haiti. The work has just begun, we have long way to go.” said event guest Marie-Claire
Dorcely.
Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida (US) and Global Action Foundation (US) in collaboration with
Quisequeya in Action (Haiti) have partnered and are already conducting internal
assessments and UN coordinated registries of over 1,000 persons living in Quisqueya's 5
compounds and 2 orphanages. These internal assessments will allow us to determine
attitudes, needs, and perceptions that will pave the way to a smoother transition into
temporary and eventually permanent housing for persons living in these camps.

The Haitian heads of government have already agreed to provide lots of land for
our temporary housing project, and while we are expecting public and private
sponsorships, we are also aware of the need to spearhead a massive local
fundraising effort.
“Please keep in mind that our non-profit efforts are supported by the US, Haitian,
and Dominican government, ensuring that execution and implementation of our
project are possible.” said event organizer & UC|CU board member Vanessa
Brito. “I could not have been prouder of our community tonight - A magical
evening for a heavenly cause. Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida is and will remain
committed to the rebuilding of Haiti and the wellbeing of its people” added UC|CU
president Herb Sosa.
If you would like to donate/help in the rebuilding efforts in Haiti, and to see all the
great pictures of Saturday night’s event, please visit www.unitycoalition.org.
