On
September 28th, 2019, for the first time, the Haitian Sports
Foundation (HSF) landed in Atlanta, GA to launch its Annual Fundraiser making
its debut in the South of USA. With the goal to raise funds to expand HSF’s
Health Clinic in Anse-a-Veau, Haiti, this event was successfully done and every
guest welcomed two of the three founders Turnier Esperance & Georges
Aschkar Jr. The “HSF Atlanta Masquerade Ball Event” featured an outstanding Karate,
dance and musical Live stream presentation performed by the children of HSF in
Anse-à-Veau. The audience
was greatly impressed and fell in love with the children, staff and Board
members. Defying the odds of a rainstorm that caused technical difficulties and
power outage, HSF gained an outpour of Atlanta supporters offering to volunteer
to work with the children in Haiti. As a volunteer Team Leader of Youth Programs
and Events Coordinator of HSF, I have never felt so proud of how far this foundation
has come to realize its mission. There are many gems of talents and leadership
in this organization that will only take its vision to the next level of impact
in Anse-à-Veau. Atlanta is
now the new hub for HSF and I look forward to the next record-breaking activities
whether here in Atlanta or in Haiti to come next year!!
