Who We Are and The Work We Do

Haitian-American podcaster Graham Pierre-Louis hosted Episode 1 of Chita Tande with HHFoh. Graham began by introducing a panel lead by Haitian Heritage & Friends of Haiti (HHFoH) founder and president Sabine Guerrier along with founding member and secretary Naomie Pascal, and new member Natasha Charles. Sabine began by recounting her memory of the fateful day in 2010 when she received a call at work from her nephew telling her an earthquake had struck Haiti, and immediately feeling an urge to take action to help. Sabine describes the steps she took as she called on local community leaders, co-workers, friends and volunteers to organize HHFOH's first relief trip to Haiti in less than a month after the earthquake. Naomie recounts how she met Sabine during those days, and how volunteering on the trip to Haiti in the aftermath of the earthquake inspired her to continue working with HHFOH both as a native of Haiti, and a professional in the healthcare field. Natasha tells us how she became a part of HHFOH when she'd recently moved to Charlotte for work and immediately began to research the strength of the Haitian community in Charlotte, and HHFOH was at the top of her search result; which led her to establish contact with Sabine who invited her to a 10th anniversary vigil for the victims of the 2010 earthquake. Sabine and Naomie discuss HHFoH's health clinic project and what is currently needed to begin the construction work. Sabine explained why the Health Clinic is important to her and every HHFoH volunteer, but most of all, how many lives can be saved once the health clinic is functional.
