Os haitianos que vivem no exterior Summit Socio-Economic abril de 2012, Atlanta

ATLANTA, EUA (defend.ht) - O principal objectivo do Summit 2012 Socioeconómica é reunir preocupado haitianos na diáspora, para criar uma plataforma para se unem para trabalhar em projetos específicos para o desenvolvimento e progresso do Haiti.

“The time has come for Haitians Living abroad to unite and work on a key initiative that will positively impact our mother land: Haiti.”

The one-day summit on Saturday, April 21, 2012, will also broaden the scope of interaction between Haitians and help realize their common interests as people, as Haitians, as a nation for Haiti.

The 2012 Socio Economic Summit is the first edition that will steadily encourage Haitians living abroad to participate and contribute to improving the state of Haiti thru viable socioeconomic projects.

Equipped with an excellent team of Professionals and Leaders as the organizing executive committee, the Summit has all the key ingredients for an astounding success in Atlanta, Georgia. The Summit will be held at the GEORGIA WORLD CONGRESS CENTER from 8:30am to 6:00pm.

The Summit’s goals are to:

• Present the “Dlo Pwop” project and to exchange ideas and information relating to that particular project to Haitian leaders, professionals, businessmen, media, students… in the Diaspora.
• To create a leading educational, socioeconomic networking resource Center among Haitians living in the Diaspora.

The HAITIAN LIVING ABROAD RESOURCE CENTER (HLARC) will be a networking tool and a reference point for Haitians living abroad and friends. It will provide advice and information on education, healthcare, businesses, career options and opportunities. It will assist, inform support and encourage Haitians in the Diaspora to be self-directed. For now, our goal is to extend a center in each State of America starting with Georgia.
