Who:
This is an official commencement from both Lakaysehaiti Inc. & Naji
Foundation Inc. 501c3. The two have
joined forces once again in a mission to complete another mission within their
community.
When: Saturday, July 31, 2021
Why: This announcement comes with excitement in
hopes to connect volunteers and other businesses to come together for an
unforgettable experience of servicing their communities. With the recent events that have taken place
within the nation, it is important for organizations to effectively organize,
engage and impact kids and the homeless population within these communities in
hopes to uplift, encourage, and support the deserving community while promoting
UNITY.
The community give back will be very
eventful & rewarding. This exceptional
event will begin at 10am-12pm as we make our way downtown Tampa where we will
be providing food & beverages to at least 50 people within the homeless
community. Shortly following that event, we are also teaming up with well-known
and experienced hair stylist and barbers that are volunteering their expertise
from 1pm to pamper over 300 kids with free hair and barber services. To support families even more, we will be
providing brand new back packs with school supplies, school uniforms and more.
During this full interactive event, snacks will be provided for the children. The empowerment alliance is hoping to
maintain our tradition in continuing to serve and utilize the donated proceeds
to provide a deserving child a mattress in Tampa and Haiti. Moreover, bridging together to uplift and
support the less fortunate remains our goal and focus .
Naji Foundation Inc. (NFI) was
incorporated in Atlanta, GA and was created by Dr. Vivienne Mitchell. Dr. Mitchell worked at the Department of
Children and Family Services for three years in the Child Protection Services
division. After seeing the need for
services outside of what was offered through DFCS, she became compelled to
start her own non-profit 501c3 foundation.
Dr. Vivienne Mitchell has a PhD in
General Psychology specializing in Educational Psychology and is a Licensed
Master Social Worker. She has been
teaching and inspiring future Social Workers for the past six years. Since the creation, Dr. Mitchell has given
back both nationally and internationally.
Naji Foundation Inc. nutritional initiative has been a success over the
past 5 years by providing free breakfast and lunch to low-income children up to
the age of 18 through the summers and most recently throughout the COVID-19
pandemic. One of her passions is helping
children both in foster care and those who have aged out. Dr. Mitchell also giveback throughout the
year to those less fortunate and the homeless population.
Education is paramount thus being
the motivating for that encouraged both ladies achieve their Master’s Degrees
in Business Administrations and Mental Health. With their educations and love for their
country, they grew a deeper admiration and found a greater purpose in wanting
to help others.
Together along with family and
friends, they have funded over 500 children annually with school fees in Haiti.
With over 25 years, their remarkable
reputation precedes them as they continue to encourage and educate their communities
on the importance of giving back. Their continued efforts to date resonates by
impacting the lives of those they service within the countries of Haiti and in
United States.
The Empty Closet Program helps,
Tampa Bay area children in the foster care system to get what they need when
they are placed into a new home.
The West Florida Foster Care Service
is Christ centered non-profit foster
care licensing agency dedicated to glorifying God by restoring the local body
of Christ as the leader in serving those children in the community who have
been abused, neglected, and abandoned.
We welcome other collaborators to
join us in this year mission.
