Strength Through Unity (L'Union Fait La Force)

April 1, 2010

Dear A Thousand Wordz and; D.N.A Brewing Organization:

As you know the response in the days following the earthquake in

Haiti

were both immediate and critical. After my initial trip upon finding my mother safe, I knew that I had to return to

Haiti

and deliver immediate assistance to the people of

Haiti

. Currently to date the money we raised has allowed us to:

* Organized a Medical Clinic administered by New Yorkpartners (Marly and Qaid) in conjunction with

doctors and nurses from Humanity First

* Provided additional medical supplies to the Humanity First Clinic in Turgeau

* Bought & Distributed food to Families in Trugeau: 525 lbs. of rice, 600 lbs. of beans, 118 lbs. of cornmeal,

155 lbs. of barley, and 120 lbs. of pasta

* Bought 100 large temporary housing structures made with canopies (10ft x 12ft) and tarps

* Installed 2 water filtration systems which will produce and provide over 1000 gallons per hour.

* Bought art from local artists to be sold at Fundraiser inSeattle

* Delivered 5400 gallons of filtered, potable drinking water

Your contribution of $500.00 will be directed towards rebuilding Targeau, an area of Port au Prince where my family is directly affected. We have identified a total of 9 homes & 1 school that need to be rebuilt. When others were still debating how to deliver assistance, we were doing it. In a matter of days and from hundreds of miles away from

Haiti

we mobilized, found the resources and hand delivered them. We could not have achieved this without organizations like yours.

We are the conduit for the contribution to humanity that you wish to make. Every dollar you donate goes to help people in

Haiti

affected by this devastating earthquake. I thank you for your faith in me to deliver assistance and create a better life for the people of

Haiti

. And I hope to have your continued support in this task to rebuild

Haiti

. Please continue to follow the progress we make via our website blog, www.strengththroughunity.org (L'Union Fait La Force).

With Sincere Gratitude,

David Pierre-Louis
Executive Director
&
Farah Ebrahim
Development Director

Homebrews for Haiti a Huge Success Thanks to All of You, See You Again Soon

Thanks so much to everyone who came out Saturday, February 27th to DNA Brewing Organization's debut event, A Thousand Wordz.

We couldn't have asked for better results-$1800 raised through brew, art and music. And we couldn't have done it without all the great people who turned out with friends to support the event.

Special thanks to Brewcraft of San Francisco for their support to all of the brewers, and of course to the collaborating brewers themselves. Thanks also to Pyramid Brewery of Berkeley for augmenting our beer supply on short notice. The Hood Chefs also ripped it up!

SUPER DUPER DOPENESS

DNA Brewing Organization helped raise $1,800 for Haitian Aid. We are deciding on how to split the money between organizations, but we are very close to specifics. We will send the money we raised to Partners in Health, What if?, and Strength in Unity. More to come, so stay posted.

Big thanks to the Rhinestone Carboys for helping with the delicious nector of Haiti Hopeaweizen, and Prince-of-Porters. Doug, Naoko, and Atiim for brainstorming the charity beer.

And reFRACTion, Thank You.
