		<description>Hello:  I am writing because I need to reach to those individuals in Los Angeles or where ever you
are throughout our world, who still want to help the children of Haiti. My name is Wini Jackson
I have been in service to children for more than 43 years.  I have been asked to take the lead on
helping the children of Haiti by Fernando Pullum who is the Director of the Fernando Pullum
Performing Arts School here in Los Angeles at 5100 South Broadway, Los Angeles, 90007  

 We have been made aware of an orphanage that was totally destroyed in Petit Goave Haiti called: Association Enfants dans le Desert d&#039; Haiti Orphanae.  The director is Marie Denise.  I have the license here with me in Los Angeles.  The food resources are running out.  Ms. Denise and the lady that helps her, Marie Jose Lesseille, are in need of help immediately. The orphanage is at: 60 Rue Republican in Petit Goave Haiti.  I have verified this information with International Medical Corp Worldwide and
with Catholic Relief Services.   There were actually four other cities destroyed from the earthquake of which Petit Goave was one.  The ages of the orphaned children  are 2 years of age through 12 years of age.  In addition, Marie Denise is feeding children who are just wandering aimlessly looking for food.  Petit Goave is 40 miles from Porte-au-Prince.

Since all of the resources that were raised were directed at Porte-au-Prince the Capitol of Haiti,
no one was paying attention to the other four cities that was destroyed until Ludger Hyacinthe took
his camcorder, went to his home in Petit Goave Haiti to help his mother and siblings and recorded
the devastation to the city and to the orphanage.   He brought the film back and gave it to FOX KTTV
Television and they aired it in the 10 p.m. time news time slot.  We saw the children and have
been working towards trying to get the much needed food to them since that time. 

On April 30, 2010, Fernando Pullum, Director of the Fernando Pullum Performing Arts School will
hold a concert at 5100 South Broadway in Los Angeles, 90007.  It will start at 6:30 p.m. in order
to raise funds to purchase the much needed food.  The Fernando Pullum Performing Arts School
is a part of the Inner City Educational Foundation Charter Schools and is a non-profit within itself.
The amount of money needed has been determined by a list of food items that I sent to the Consul
General of the Dominican Republic, Mr. Celeste Jimenez, who is based here in Los Angeles.  He
assigned a staff person to assist us by getting prices on the food based on humanitarian rates.
I have that list available and can forward it to you.  The basic foods that will be purchased are:
wheat, rice, beans, flour, protein powder, sugar, cooking oil, powdered milk, cereal ; laundry
soap, hygiene products, mosquito nets, canned fruits and vegetables.  It is our hope that we
will be able to get enough food to last six to eight months.

On May 2nd, the team is to leave Los Angeles for Santa Domingo, in the  Dominican Republic
to shop for the food on May 3rd and May 4th.  A truck will be rented and the food is to be trucked
into the orphanage.  I have already alerted the U S Marines Southern Command, who stationed
near the orphanage that the truck will be coming through and also the U N Peace Keeping
Assistant to the Secretary General.  I have asked that guards be provided to make sure that
the team and the food gets through.  THIS IS A GOOD PLAN AND IT WILL WORK!

If there is anyone out there who can attend the concert, or who would like to see the list of food
and want to give towards the goal, or giving towards purchasing one or any part of the food items,
please let me know.  I have called Italy to the office of Mr. Sheeran, Director of the World Food Program
at their Italy Headquarters, asking when food would make it to Petit Goave Haiti.  Ms. Rina Manzo,
her assistant, could not give me an answer and infact, frankly stated that Ms. Sheeran did not
keep up with the day to day doings of her staff from the World Food Program who was on the
ground in Porte-au-Prince Haiti.  

Again, no one ever mentioned, including the media, that there were four other cities detroyed.  While all
of the resources went to Porte-au-Prince, children were starving as were adults in these other
four provinces or cities in Haiti.

Your help in getting the word out about the concert, and the purpose of raising funds to purchase the food; about the team leaving for the Dominican Republic to purchase the food on May 2nd, would
really help these children.  We hope to fill that auditorium which holds 500 people.  We will have
the list of food items available, so people can give what they can towards one or more items on the list. 

I hope to hear that some of those who read this information, will respond to meet these children&#039;s needs.  If you are anywhere near Los Angeles or in Los Angeles, please attend the concert; if you
want to see the list of food and the humanitarian prices that we have been able to get for the items
on the list,  just let me know.  I will be happy to e-mail that list of food and their prices to all interested people.  If you want to give and cannot attend, please e-mail Cafe McMullen, assistant to Fernando Pullum at: cmcmullen@icefla.org.  TIME IS RUNNING AND THE CHILDREN ARE HUNGRY.  IF THERE IS ANY WAY YOU CAN PARTICIPATE, CAN GIVE, PLEASE HELP THESE CHILDREN by purchasing
one or more of these food items on the list.  Again, we will e-mail the list of food items to you with
the prices and you can aim your money at that food item.  All donations are tax-deductible.  If you
google the name &quot; FERNANDO PULLUM&quot; you will learn about his work with and for children here
in Los Angeles.  He is an extraordinary educator and mentor to children.  

I hope to hear from some of you soon.  On behalf of the children at The Association Enfants dans le Desert d&#039; Haiti Orphanage, which although destroyed, is still caring for those children who are abandoned and without parents, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS REQUEST FOR YOUR SUPPORT, YOUR HELP AND YOUR PARTICIPATION!

Sincerely,

Wini Jackson
