WORLD CHALLENGE 09: VOTE FOR HAITI!!
World Challenge is a competition that is organized by BBC World New Limited aimed at finding projects or small businesses from around the world that have shown enterprise and innovation at a grass roots level. Port-au-Prince was selected as one of the twelve (12) finalists in this year's competition.
Haiti's project is called Love 'N Haiti which focuses on Decheteries De Carrefour Feuilles, a factory that produces recycled paper charcoal (briquettes). During former President Bill Clinton's speech during the Haitian Unity Diaspora Congress last month, he talked about this factory and how these briquettes can help make a big difference in Haiti. If Haiti wins the most votes, they will win a grant that will go towards this project.
Here are just some of the top reasons as to why you should support and vote for Love 'N Haiti:
Voting is from September 28, 2009 - November 13, 2009. To vote, please go to the World Challenge website at www.theworldchallenge.co.uk. Voting is limited to one vote per person.
