Et globalt initiativ på TimTim.Live
Den internationale uge med taknemmelighed
Forbind byer gennem musik, turisme, kultur, iværksætteri, uddannelse, gæstfrihed og venskab.
En verden. En familie. For evigt.
Det er ikke et forsøg på at eksportere haitiansk kultur til verden. Det begynder med noget enklere: en person siger tak til Haiti, til Amerika, og til alle steder, der bød ham velkommen.
Læs grundlæggelsen princip →Hvad er International Week of Gratitude?

“Gratitude has no passport.”
Den hvide guitarrejse
En besked fra Pierre-Richard Augustin
Født i Les Cayes, Haiti, og ankommer til USA i en alder af tolv, mit liv er blevet formet af mennesker, steder, kulturer og muligheder over hele verden.
Haiti gav mig mine rødder. Amerika var med til at forme min fremtid. Og gennem hele min rejse har verden givet mig venskaber, muligheder, lektioner, minder og drømme, der fortsætter med at påvirke den, jeg er i dag.
Gennem International Week of Gratitude vil jeg gerne vende tilbage til de samfund og mennesker, der blev meningsfulde kapitler i denne rejse ikke at bede om noget, men blot at give noget tilbage.
Med min signatur Hvid Guitar og musik af TimTim.Live Konpa, håber jeg at besøge disse steder med en enkel besked:
Tak.
Tak for mulighederne.
Tak for venskaberne.
Tak for lektionerne.
Tak for at være en del af rejsen.
Men visionen rækker langt ud over min personlige historie.
Mit håb er, at International Week of Gratitude vil vokse til en årlig global tradition! en uge hvert år, når byer, samfund, virksomheder, familier og enkeltpersoner holder pause for at genkende de mennesker, der hjalp med at forme deres historier.
Hvad der begynder som én person, kan blive en verdensomspændende bevægelse, der omslutter os, at bag enhver bedrift, enhver mulighed, og hver drøm opfyldt, er der mennesker, der åbnede døre, tilbudt opmuntring, fælles viden, eller blot troede på nogen.
En uge. Tusinder af byer. Millioner af historier. Et universelt budskab: Tak.
“I left searching for opportunity. I return carrying a White Guitar, TimTim.Live Konpa, and a heart full of gratitude.”

Spørgsmål og svar
Hvad er International Week of Gratitude?+
En årlig, bystyret international fest forbinder samfund gennem musik, turisme, kultur, uddannelse, iværksætteri, gæstfrihed og venskab ~ et TimTim.Live Globalt initiativ.
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.
Hvad er den hvide 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." References to companies, institutions, and government entities do not imply endorsement unless expressly stated.
