' n TimTim.Live wêreldwye inisiatief
Internasionale Week van dankbaarheid
Om stede deur musiek, toerisme, kultuur, ondernemerskap, opvoeding, gasvryheid en vriendskap te verbind.
Een wêreld. Een gesin. Vir altyd
Dit is nie ' n poging om Haïtiese kultuur na die wêreld uit te voer nie. Dit begin met iets eenvoudigers: ' n Persoon wat vir jou dankie sê vir Haïti, Amerika en elke plek wat hom verwelkom het.
Lees die geopenbaarde beginsel →Wat is Internasionale Week van dankbaarheid?
Internasionale Week van Dankbaarheid is ' n stadsgerigte internasionale kulturele inisiatief wat deur TimTim.Live wêreldwyd ontwikkel is. Elke deelnemende plek bied plaaslik relevante programme wat sy mense, kultuur, geskiedenis, toerisme, gasvryheid, sakeondernemings, kunstenaars, studente en gemeenskappe vier.
Die week kan konserte, kulturele uitstallings, universiteitstoesprake, sakewedens, voedselondervindinge, toerismebedrywighede, gemeenskapsdiens, jeugprogramme en ' n handtekening - wit Guitarviering insluit.
“Gratitude has no passport.”
Die wit Guitar - reis
'n Boodskap vanaf Pierre-Richard Augustin
My lewe is op twaalf - jarige ouderdom in Les Cayes, Haïti, gebore en het in die Verenigde State aangekom en is deur mense, plekke, kulture en geleenthede regoor die wêreld gevorm.
Haïti het my wortels gegee. Amerika het gehelp om my toekoms te vorm. En gedurende my reis het die wêreld my vriende, geleenthede, lesse, herinneringe en drome gegee wat steeds ' n invloed het op wie ek vandag is.
Deur die Internasionale Week van Dankbaarheid wil ek teruggaan na die gemeenskappe en mense wat betekenisvolle hoofstukke in daardie reis bereik het om nie vir enigiets te vra nie, maar bloot om iets terug te gee.
Met my handtekening White Guitar en die musiek van TimTim.Live Konpa hoop ek om hierdie plekke met een eenvoudige boodskap te besoek:
Dankie.
Dankie vir die geleenthede.
Dankie vir die vriendskappe.
Dankie vir die lesse.
Dankie dat julle deel van die reis was.
Maar die visioen strek baie verder as my persoonlike verhaal.
My hoop is dat Internasionale Week van Dankbaarheid elke jaar tot ' n jaarlikse wêreldwye tradisie moet groei wanneer stede, gemeenskappe, sakeondernemings, gesinne en individue stilstaan om die mense te herken wat gehelp het om hulle verhale te vorm.
Wat as ' n persoon dan begin het met ' n reis van dankbaarheid, kan ' n wêreldwye beweging wees om ons te herinner dat daar agter elke prestasie, elke geleentheid en elke droom vervul is, mense is wat deure oopmaak, aanmoediging bied, kennis gedeel het of bloot aan iemand geglo het.
Een week Duisende stede. Miljoene stories. Een universele boodskap: Dankie.
“I left searching for opportunity. I return carrying a White Guitar, TimTim.Live Konpa, and a heart full of gratitude.”

Wat is Internasionale Week van dankbaarheid?+
' n Jaarlikse, stedelike viering verbind gemeenskappe deur musiek, toerisme, kultuur, opvoeding, entrepreneurskap, gasvryheid en vriendskap OOSTENRYK ' n TimTim.Live globale inisiatief.
Is this a Haitian cultural movement?+
No. It's not a Haitian movement, an American movement, or a movement belonging to any single nation or culture. It begins as one person saying thank you — to Haiti, to America, and to every place that welcomed him along the way. See the Founding Principle for the full statement.
Is it political or religious?+
No. International Week of Gratitude is intentionally non-political, non-partisan, and non-religious in its governance. It's open to all nationalities, cultures, faiths, and backgrounds.
Is a city on this page confirmed as a host?+
Not unless it's marked "Confirmed Host." Every other status — Proposed, Invited, In Discussion, Provisional — means exactly that: a location we're exploring, not a signed agreement.
Wat is die White Guitar?+
The White Guitar is the emotional symbol of the founder's story — bought at about eighteen with a dream of forming a band, sold years later, and now returning as the centerpiece of the closing concert in every host city.
Can my city apply to host a future edition?+
Yes — see "Host a Gratitude Week." Mayor's offices, tourism boards, chambers of commerce, universities, museums, hotel associations, and local producers can all start an application.
How are sponsors and partners involved?+
Through the Partners & Sponsors program. No sponsor logo or partner name is shown publicly until a signed agreement is in place.
Can I donate or invest?+
Community support and partnership inquiries are welcome through Contact. Any future investment opportunity would be offered only through appropriate legal documentation and in compliance with applicable securities laws — nothing on this site is an offer to sell or a solicitation to purchase any security.
International Week of Gratitude is currently in development. Proposed host locations, venues, dates, governments, sponsors, artists, programs, and partners are subject to confirmation, contract, permits, financing, insurance, and applicable local laws. A location shown on this page is not a confirmed host unless specifically marked "Confirmed Host."
