Hey Hey Hey Blogworld,


Yesterday I made some pretty bleak observations about a narrative on the devastation in Haiti. I want to balance out the Karma and my aunt sent me this really powerful letter and opportunity to give back. The Colline Foundation, headed and founded by Jimmy Toussaint, organizes volunteer trips and raises money to help build schools and assist children in Haiti. Below is a letter that seeks donations for their latest endeavors. Please read and give what you can. We all we got, black folks. Let's make some kinda difference, yeah? ~RCS


Hello Everyone,

    I hope all is well. Colline Foundation needs a little help running this year's volunteer program. Primarily, we need a little help buying paint in Haiti and feeding the kids at the summer camp. This year, the budget for the program is almost stretched to its limit, so I am reaching out to you guys to help sponsor a program activity. The ways you can sponsor the volunteer program are listed below:

  • $25 - Goes towards Rice for the Summer Camp Kids
  • $40 - Covers water for the kids for the day
  • $50 -  Goes towards Rice and Meat
  • $100 - Covers Rice and Meat for the day
  • $120 - Covers Rice, Meat, Some Water and Some Juice.
  • $150 - Goes towards Gas. (Gas is crazy expensive in Haiti)
  • $150 - Pays the salary of one teacher for the week.
  • $200 - Buys enough paint to paint one class room of Colline Academie as well as cover some of the wages of Colline Academie's staff. We will paint your name on the wall of the classroom and the room will be named after you.
  • $250 - Does everything that was explained for a sponsorship of $200 plus a personal thank you video will be made (Directed by Alex Horner). One of the summer camp kids will be thanking you for your contribution on video and it will be uploaded onto youtube/vimeo/bliptv
The money you donate can go to whatever you want. If you want to sponsor 3 or 4 days of Rice, just specify to me where you want your sponsorship dollars to go and I will make sure that happens. Colline Foundation is currently 501(c)3 so sponsoring this program is tax exempt. Every little bit can help. 

Cordially,

Toussaint
