Buffalo Soldiers United for Haiti

I'm mulling a new project called B'SU (pronounced Bisou) to help Haiti. I'm going to gather great people of all disciplines to channel investments and expertise to improve the lives of Haitians. Sustainability will play a big role, as well as implanting new concepts. Haiti since the hurricane has yet to be reconstructed. Haitians are herded to borders by bad policies. At home they are isolated by a lack of prospects. Let's give them some. I'll expand on my concept more a bit later. I hope to attract the Obamas, Michaelle Jean, Bill Gates, Meghan and Prince Harry, Sheikh Hamdan, the Pope, the UN etc. Haiti was the Pearl of the Antilles. It can be again.
