Lakou New York celebrates it's 4th year anniversary.
Samdi 24 Me 2008 Vin fete ak nou 4 an emisyon Lakou New York...
Friends,
On Saturday, May 24th 2008, it will be 4 years since Lakou New York radio program has been bringing alternative news, analysis, interviews, and reports directly from Site
Soley, the largest "slum" in Haiti, to the Haitian community on a daily basis, Mondays to Fridays, 1pm - 2pm.
We want to thank everyone who has in any way contributed to our work. It is this support which has allowed us to continue on for 4 years.
We
invite you to join us as we celebrate our anniversary on Saturday, May 24th 2008 from 7pm to 10pm at Stanley E. Clarke Elementary School (PS 399) located at 2707 Albemarle Rd. at the corner of Rogers Ave. and Albemarle Rd. in Brooklyn, NY.
The theme for this year's celebration is "Ayibobo pou riches peyi nou"(Celebrating the richness of our country).
Our special guest, coming from Haiti, will be Yverose Moise, founder of Afrikarib Productions which creates African themed "Kreyol" clothes and jewelry in Haiti. Yverose will present a segment on Haitian culture and
self-empowerment every Wednesday on Lakou New York.
Along with the products of Afrikarib, Yverose will be coming with Arts and Crafts from Women's collectives in different parts of Haiti: Jakmel, Kanperen, Latibonit, Kwa de¨bouke¨ and the workshop "Kay Atizan" located in Potoprens.
This is an initiative of Lakou New York to showcase and support the work of Haitian artisans so lots of products will be available for sale.
The event is a fundraising to support the work of Lakou NY so we are asking a donation of $20.
In addition to products from Haiti, we will have authentic food, juices, and dessert from Haiti not usually available in New York. There will be no additional charge for the food. We hope you can join us. If you cannot come to the event we encourage you to send a donation to support Lakou New York at:
