Today we open our doors and introduce ourselves through one key element: one involving supporting a local foundation from one of our beloved countries, Haiti. We decided to help a local foundation, located in Haiti as we believe in the hard work which Mrs Pun, who I refer as mama Pun has been laying. She is in no doubt a mother to these many kids and making sure that they are well taken care of.
The trick in all of this is, that we have decided to support this foundation while bringing you 2Republic Events which services main goals is to help individuals plan their own events. Yes we adore planning any kind of events, from a conference, to a talent show, a wedding, first communion, fashion show and the list goes on. Our main objective is to make your dream come true. However, on August 28th we have decided to make the dream of not only Mama Pun but of her many children come true. By helping us raise as much money as possible, or by simply providing school supplies you will be contributing in making their dreams come true.
Haiti was never a simple country. After the earth quake it seems that its previous complications is not even where we should begin explaining the pain, and obstacles, which this country have experience for hundreds of years. Haiti is one of the poorest countries of the world and now even as a simple Haitian I myself have asked myself "what now? The poorest or the----- fill in the blank..) Meaning what should we say now?" Putting the negative a side, as Haitians we always believed we weren’t the poorest as our culture is deeply rooted and rich. Our beautiful beaches, mountains and our beautiful peoples who keep smiling no matter what, is the reason why our head are still standing high and still, we believe in a better Haiti.
Yes I do know we have digressed, however today we are taking a small step in helping our Haitian brothers and sisters. We are helping the foundation Mains Ouvertes feed these children, by raising money for them. As they are not only the children of the country we so much love but our hope for a better tomorrow.
You can help us help them in 3 ways:
1. By bringing School Supplies
2. By Donating monetary funds (whatever your pockets allow you to do)
