Now in its fifth year, the BBC World Challenge is a competition which seeks out innovative, creative projec t s from around the globe and then provides funding to the winning project. This year, one of the finalist projects is Love 'N Haiti. The Love 'N Haiti Campaign is a project which seeks to decrease the deforestation of Haiti (in large part due to the overuse of firewood for cooking) by converting waste materials into charcoal briquettes. The project would also help to provide jobs to those making the briquettes and thus in turn could help reduce crime in the violence torn country.
President Bill Clinton and celebrities such as Wyclef, actress/model Garcelle Beauvais, Russell Simmons, Free (Power 105 FM), Sha Money, Tony Yayo, Mona Scott-Young (Monami Entertainment), actor Jamie Hector, Claudine Joseph (Violator Management) and singer Black Dada have recently signed on as ambassadors for LOVE ‘N HAITI.
The World Challenge competition runs through November 13. You can vote for LOVE ‘N HAITI by logging onto www.theworldchallenge.co.uk. Don't wait, vote today!!!
