"L'Union Fait La Force" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of this past weekend 01/22-1/24. 100 plus students in the of United Haitian Students of Florida all came together for one cause...Haiti. We all came together in a collective effort to help out with the Haiti relief efforts. We were involved in the packaging of clothing, perishable food items, and water at a local Miami warehouse. We also took part in a benefit concert where people of Haitian descent and other nationalities donated cases of water to send to the victims of the Earthquake in Port Au prince. Haitian musicians and bands ranging from T-Vice, Harmonik, Alan Cave and the likes all came together in a unified effort to help raise the funds necessary to provide Port Au Prince's victims with the provisions to continue life in the so called "tent city" of the capital. Despite the tears that the were shed from the disbelief that some of us were still in, there were also tears of hope that were shed for the people of Port Au Prince, hope that they may be holding onto, hope that we will carry and hold onto forever in our hearts should they lose it.
