President Bill Clinton to speak at The Haitian League’s 2009 Haitian Diaspora Unity Congress
MIAMI – Former President Bill Clinton announced he will attend and address the 2009 Haitian Diaspora Unity Congress which will take place at the Trump International Beach Resort, Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, on August 6-9, 2009.
The purpose of this congress is to combine and capitalize on the Haitian Diaspora resources to develop solution-oriented strategies to aid Haitians at home and abroad.
This event brings together Haitians from all over the world, government officials and leaders from aid organizations to discuss assisting development in Haiti. Topics scheduled include boosting the island’s agriculture, promoting education and health, and building tourism, among others.
Doctor Rudolph Moise, Chairman of Haitian Diaspora Unity Congress, was thrilled to learn of President Clinton’s participation. “President Clinton is a perfect speaker for this event as the United Nations’ Special Envoy for Haiti,” said Doctor Moise. “His experience in working with Haiti’s government will certainly provide insight for the attendees of this conference on how to best aid Haiti and help the country develop a better standard of living overall.”
Last year, Haiti was beset with numerous crises, from a global rise in food prices to four storms that devastated the island, killing hundreds and leaving thousands more homeless.
The 2009 Haitian Diaspora Unity Congress is being organized by The Haitian League with the cooperation of its chapters and affiliates, and numerous other supporting organizations and agencies. This will be the first time that representatives of Haitian Diaspora from different parts of the world will convene under one roof to find long-term solutions to the major issues that plague Haitians in and out of Haiti.
The Haitian League is a 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization headquartered in the State of New Jersey, concerned about and dedicated to improving the quality of life for Haitians worldwide.
