http://www.UnleashYourGroove.Com/2015-haiti-entrepreneurship-camp.html Most of Haiti's population lives “multidimensional poverty,”. This means that they face constant challenges with getting their basic health needs met, an adequate education, and have poor living conditions.
“When I first arrived in Haiti, I was shocked,” says Veny. “You read about Haiti and watch news reports, but seeing this firsthand touched my heart. We have a real problem on our hands.”
In 2014, Mike Veny presented a workshop on marketing, networking and selling to the first annual Haiti Entrepreneurship Camp. Mike volunteered to teach at the camp through meeting Jan Holz at the Rotary Club of Wall Street. He wanted to use the skills that helped grow his business to help the Haitian entrepreneurs grow theirs.
The Haiti Entrepreneurship camp has a clear mission: Empowering local entrepreneurs and their communities.Their vision is to “Exchange knowledge and build relationships with entrepreneurs to turn around struggling economies and empower them to develop prosperous independent communities.”
“Everyone loves to talk about the health of the world economy,” says Veny. “Through empowering entrepreneurs in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, we are making tomorrow's world economy healthier.”
Although the economy is steadily improving in Haiti, it's still struggling from the destruction of the 2010 earthquake. “It's important that we empower people before the next natural disaster happens.”
“There is so much that needs to be done,” says Veny. “This is an incredibly slow process and it's important to understand that you may not even see tangible results from your efforts in this lifetime. However, it's important to keep supporting Haiti, even if the results manifest long after your time here on this earth.”
The 2015 Haiti Entrepreneurship Camp will be held at Université Quisqueya in partnership with Rotary Club de Delmas-Aeroport, HelpAlliance, Devoted Servants, Lufthansa Consulting, Lufthansa Group, and local financial support.
Through Mike's GoFundMe campaign, you help support the growth of the world economy through empowering Haitian entrepreneurs.
