CapraCare – A New Generation of Thinking and Leadership

CapraCare – A New Generation of Thinking and Leadership

Haiti1Stop reconnects with CapraCare’s Founder Jean Pierre-Louis

CapraCare – A New Generation of Thinking and Leadership

In 2011, we featured CapraCare in our “conversations” segment and we must say that this nonprofit organization has tremendously evolved since the last time we interviewed the Founder, Jean Pierre-Louis. We are amazed of their accomplishments, their strong leadership in the community of Fonfrede, and their culture that upholds team work and advanced learning to create a new generation of leaders in the community of Fonfrede.

Why are we featuring CapraCare for a second time? It is an organization that is thriving with a strong foundation, like-minded individuals that say yes to change, yes to commitment and yes to making a difference. CapraCare is the sought-after community resource for the residents of Fonfrede as they envision to expanding their roots in other areas of Haiti. Their last mission trip in August 2013 led to more apparent results. Nothing is wasted in CapraCare. Every member, every team is valued for their efforts and contribution. Their mission focuses on community health, education and leadership so the people they are guiding can help themselves. The latter can make a huge and lasting impact in any community because education lasts forever.

Spotlight on Designer Nora David

Haiti1Stop talks with Nora David

Spotlight on Designer Nora David

When I first heard of Nora David at the IHDA event (Independent Handbag Designer Awards), I was elated to know she was a Haitian Accessory Designer and I immediately tweeted about it. She was one of the finalists in the “Most Socially Responsible Handbag” category and that was a great achievement. Soon enough, we briefly commented and proudly congratulated her in our blog on June 15, 2012.

We, at Haiti1Stop wanted to know more about this great designer, her style, her brand, her philosophy and her business acumen that no one has already unveiled. That prompted us to immediately get in touch with her for a great conversation and for a request of an interview. I must say that I was pleasantly honored to have spoken with her. It seemed that I’ve known her for a very long time based on personality and design background. My first call to her revealed a savvy woman who is witty, warm, real, eloquent, inquisitive, pleasant, natural, down to earth, friendly, decisive, and of course fashionable. She certainly captured my attention and I was ecstatic when she agreed to be featured onto Haiti1Stop “Conversations” segment.

On March 25 2012, EMG Health Communications celebrated their 12th Annual International Women’s Month and honored Mrs Odette Fombrun, a visionary Haitian woman. The event was spectacular and everyone had a standing ovation for the icon Mrs Fombrun. Among the attendees, to name a few where Nassau County Legislator Carrie Solages, the famous poet/writer Michelle Voltaire Marcelin, the Archbishop Guy Sansaric, the singer Jocelyne Clermont and the pianist Victor Surpris. EMG Health Communications had a wonderful tribute for our Haitian women who made an impact in Haiti through their works as educators, activists, warriors, politicians, journalists and more accolades.

In our eyes, Mrs Odette Roy Fombrun is an historian, visionary, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend, colleague, educator and writer that holds her strength in her passion to create change in Haiti. The 94-year old woman is an amazing role model for so many. Her speech at the event ignited the fire in all of us to continue the positive work for our country.

Haiti1Stop: When did you first learn about Haiti?

Kristen: I went to Haiti when I was 16 years old on a 10-day trip with a local church in my area. I am Italian-American and I knew nothing about Haiti. I thought, “This would be cool!”. So while I was in Cite-Soleil, a lady handed me her baby and ran away. I remember staring at this little girl in my arms. Her eyes were as big as life and she didn’t know what end was up…. Read more
