We have uncovered yet another media related organization dedicated to affecting change in Haiti.
"Hollywood Unites For Haiti" is a non profit organization whose mission is to promote sports and cultural activities for the underprivileged youth of Haiti.
HUFH recognizes the unique opportunity that Hollywood has in raising awareness about Haiti.
A hollywood based initiative is great because many people around the world do not know much about Haiti. So they are not interested in Haiti and don’t care about making their lives better. Using hollywood as a basis for an awareness campaign is a way to expose large amounts of people to these issues and promote action.
HUFH founder Jimmy Jean-Louis is a successful actor and model who uses his star power to attract attention to issues facing Haitians. On his website, he says "Haiti has suffered many set backs in its rich history and yet the Haitian people have never lost the character to face adversity with creativity, resilience, and community."
