Big Book Club Getaway

Sister Cities Essex Haiti joined The Big Book Club Getaway at Mohegan Sun on February 2, 2013!  It had a booth to present information and was able to show a film, Welcome to Deschapelles, Our Sister City. More than 40 bestselling and award-winning authors and presenters converged at Mohegan Sun on February 1-2, 2013 for The Big Book Club Getaway,  which benefitted The Alzheimer’s Association.  Speakers included Yale Professor Carlos Eire, a winner of the National Book Award for Non-Fiction, Leeza Gibbons, iconic American talk show host, and Brad Meltzer, #1 bestselling political suspense author, and others.

A letter from Vice President-Coordination of Deschapelles Project, Jenifer Grant

Up until very recently, we have been blessed by the fact that rural “Deschapelles has been outside of the mayhem and disruptions that have plagued the area around Port-au-Prince. Inflation, lack of fuel, and difficulty in getting actual cash from the bank for our programs in Deschapelles have made an impact, but otherwise things have been calm.” Read the full letter here.
