Dear Citizens of the World,
I would like to share with you about the Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council (YHAC). This council is a national Haitian movement for a better Haiti—a Haiti where every Haitian who joins together to work for the common welfare and the development of Haiti can have access to the Haitian Dream; a Haiti that welcomes the voice and the interest of the Haitian youth both in Haiti and abroad to provide the national government with unique insights and recommendations from young people regarding the policy that impact our nation’s millions of young Haitians who are indeed the future of our ‘Darling Haiti’. The council engages the Haitian people, the Haitian Diaspora, and the International community to form a unique coalition that will ensure a brighter sustainable future for the Haitian people with the collaboration of the Haitian youth. This Council also aims to empower and reassure Haiti that the young people are ready to play their role to out-revolutionize a national and international youth social movement, out-re-modernize, and out-rebuild Haiti to overcome any challenges of this globalized era in the 21st Century.
Like young leaders in every country represent their country with the utmost passion and pride, more than ever, in this globalized era, we need Young Haitian Ambassadors to promote the Haitian Dream—a dream that brings opportunity, economic sustainability, and prosperity in Haiti through our Union.
We presently have our YHAC Representatives and our grassroots team players in Haiti that are working really hard on the ground in Haiti to ensure the sustainability of our project. I want to assure you that our young scholars and leaders in Haiti are competent, honest, trust-worthy, visionary, and determined individuals with a mindset of public service.
In the first phase of our movement we will focus on ‘Education’. That is why we are currently organizing a ’5,000 Book Drive’. The purpose of this book drive is to promote education throughout Haiti to better educate the students.
For our first Book Drive, we will donate the books to the ‘National Library’, a public library that welcomes all youth and adults of Haiti that have a thirst for reading and knowledge. The National Library of Haiti is the largest center for public reading and is a part of the Haitian cultural and intellectual heritage. It protects and defends the Haitian readers and writers with its mission that is well-received by the Haitian government. Donating 5,000 books at the National Library of Haiti is a huge act that will be well-appreciated by any Haitian society and all Haitian officials. This will be the perfect opportunity to share with the Haitian population and national authorities our YHAC mission and our commitment to the Haitian people— particularly, the Haitian youth. It will also be an opportunity to approach the Haitian officials and make them aware of our movement to promote the Haitian Dream, create more opportunities for young people and seek a sustainable development in Haiti. Next, the National Library is the institution that can best serve the Haitian people because of its high visibility and commitment to educate and develop the Haitian intellectuals. Furthermore, this a library is currently facing a serious lack of books because of the economic and budgetary problems of Haiti. Lastly, we are developing a lasting partnership with the National Library which has a view of commitment to the Haitian youth to better educate the future generation of Haiti.
The launch of the Book Drive will officially introduce the YHAC to the Haitian society, the Haitian youth, the Haitian Diaspora, and the international community. This will be the perfect opportunity to share with the Haitian society about the YHAC. We will share with the general public our vision and mission to the Haitian youth. We will explain our commitment to the Haitian youth and our determination to galvanize and reinvigorate the Haitian dream and to promote opportunity and economic sustainability in Haiti. This will also be the time to establish a serious partnership with the Haitian government and the international community to better succeed in our mission.
In this Book Drive we aim to work with several organizations, universities, governmental, public and private institutions to not only help us in our Book Drive, but to strengthen mutual relationships and to enhance our power of working together with them in the arena of community development. Thus, we are seeking for your partnership, help, and support.
We are seeking for books, places to store the books, and hopefully, any kinds of monetary assistance to cover our expenses.
Please, join us to galvanize and reinvigorate the Haitian Dream—to bring opportunity, social mobility and prosperity in Haiti.
Thank you very much. On behalf of the Haitian youth, we at the Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council need your support. We are looking forward to work together with you in this 5,000 Book Drive to promote a greater sustainable Haiti by providing more resources and opportunities to better educate the future Haitian generation.
I greatly appreciate your favorable consideration of this request. If you need more information on how you could help make this initiative possible, please feel free to call me: (786) 370-4444 or email me: steevesimbert@gmail.com. On behalf of the Haitian youth I want to thank you for taking the time to read these words. Take very good care of yourself. God bless you!
Sincerely,
Steeve Simbert
Chairman of the Youth Haitian Ambassadors Council
