Wyclef Jean and Herman Mendoza Unite People

By Profesor Martin N. Danenberg
“El Quijote del GED” - The unity of Haitians and Dominicans is important. More than two years ago, in a hotel in Punta Cana, a Dominican told me that he expected much more violence between those two groups and we know that there has been an escalation of violence that we do not like. Innocent people are having their lives upset and destroyed. Today’s big news is in Iraq and we do not want the Dominican Republic to fall into that category of news soon.
Please inform your co-workers who are Dominican and Haitian about the One Voice Event on February 11, 2006, co-sponsored by Haitian recording artist Wyclef Jean and Dominican Pastor Herman Menodoza taking place at P.S. 19 in Corona, New York in the borough Queens. And please inform your community. Come as organizations and/or as individuals with friends. Call Herman Mendoza to find out more about this event. The future of millions of people is at stake. Do we need a new disaster where people are well informed in advance and no appropriate action is taken?
You have a month to publicize this event and make plans to attend or delegate some people who are willing to attend and join with us.
You can see that I am one of the guest speakers too. I give thanks to Herman Mendoza for recognizing the role that education will play in improving people’s lives and bring peace. Let us work toward bringing the GED to both Dominicans and Haitians in the United States, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and around the world, I am telling it can be done and it can be done now, today.
I want to thank the Haitian community for being the first one to accept my offer of help with the GED. My work in Spring Valley at the Konbit Neg Lakay has resulted in more than twenty graduates in French and my relationship with the Haitians United of Massachusetts is extremely special and it actually gave me the opportunity to speak from City Hall in Boston to people who attended the flag raising and to a Haitian audience on Radio Nouveaute.. I also want to thank President Leonel Fernandez, his government, including staff members of consulates and the Dominican people for taking me into their hearts and helping my educational campaign grow immensely. I wish I could teach in each of your communities, but I am Profesor Martin of the Consulate of El Salvador and I will not teach classes anywhere else, not even for money.
