LIBERTÉ: A Night of No
Rest for Restaveks
(Enslaved Children in Haiti).
What is the Jean Cadet Restavek Foundation?

Why LIBERTÉ?

For the past three years, the National Honor Society of Baldwin School has been organizing a
walk-a-thon for the Invisible Children and Casa Ronald McDonald Foundations. This event has
been extremely successful reaching a full capacity of more than 1,000 participants. This year
the National Honor Society has decided to give to the poorest nation in the Western
Hemisphere, less than 350 miles from our shores, Haiti.

The National Honor Society of Baldwin School of Puerto Rico has then decided to assist the Jean
Cadet Restavek Foundation of Haiti, in their plight to assist the over 300,000 children currently
enslaved in Haiti. This event will incorporate a campaign to raise consciousness about the
urgent need for help in a place much closer than Africa, within the realm of the Caribbean. An
educational campaign, followed by a large-scale fundraiser will occur.

How YOU can help LIBERTÉ.

EDUCATE yourself

Students of the National Honor Society of Puerto Rico have prepared information
sessions regarding the Jean Cadet Foundation and the event we are holding in its honor.
Following the brief presentation, a guest speaker will provide further intimate information
about the foundation and the cause. If you want extra information or are not able to attend a
session, please contact President Daniela Lazo Cedré or Vice-President Natalia Ríos. You may
also speak to the NHS advisor, Liliana Brugueras, by calling the school at 787.720.2421.

LIBERTÉ for others

The fundraiser LIBERTÉ is a night event to raise money and awareness. In the past, the
event meant to replicate the nightly commute children would carry out in order to avoid
capture, and then the twelve hours a father would await his child in a hospital. However, this
year the event is meant to replicate twelve hours in the life of a young indentured servant.

WHEN?

Saturday, February 6th—Sunday, February 7th, 2010

2:30-5:30 pm Check-in, Tent Set-Up

6:00 pm Kick-off event. The Walking begins

6:00 am Closing Ceremonies. The Walking ends.

WHERE? Baldwin School of Puerto Rico, Pennock Field House and Campus

HOW? Teams of ten to fifteen people, created by local schools, corporations, or other
organizations, will face a twelve-hour challenge. The team will rest in a camp site on campus
and participate in the different activities organized. To participate, each team must raise a
minimum of $500 (schools) or $750 (corporations). All proceeds will be donated to the Jean
Cadet Restavek Foundation, and will work towards building a better tomorrow for child slaves
in Haiti.

WHAT YOU NEED TO ORGANIZE A TEAM

Make a list of fellow philanthropists and tell them about LIBERTÉ, an exciting event to benefit
the Jean Cadet Restavek Foundation from their fellow Caribeños in Puerto Rico. Round up
family members, friends, classmates, co-workers, and ask them to be part of your team!

**NOTE: All youth teams must have at least one adult chaperone over the age of 21 for the
entire 12 hours. The chaperone must be part of the team and cannot enter or exit the campus
during the duration of the event.

Encourage the team to attend the screening at the Baldwin School Pennock Field House on
November 14th at 1030 am, where the Baldwin School National Honor Society will provide a
brief presentation on the foundation and will further explain the event.
