A TimTim.Live Global Initiative
Ynternasjonale wike fan takken
Ferbyn fan steden fia muzyk, toorisme, cultuur, entreprenørskip, ynformatie, gastfreonlik, en vriendskip.
Ien Wrâld. Ien famylje. Foar altyd.
Dit is gjin ynspanning om haïtiaanse cultuur nei de wrâld te eksportearjen. It begjint mei ienfâldiger wurd: ien persoan dy' t jo dankje — oan Haïti, oan Amerika, en oan eltse plak dêr' t him hy hyfreemd hat.

“Gratitude has no passport.”

In berjocht fan Pierre-Richard AugustinName
Berne yn Les Cayes, Haïti, en ûntfongen yn de Feriene Steaten op de leeftijd fan twaalf, myn liewen is foarmakke troch persoanen, plakken, kulturen en geleenthede oer de wrâld.
Haiti hat myn roots opjûn. Amerika hat helpt myn takomst foarmje. En ûnder myn reis hat de wrâld my fia vriendskippen, mooglikheden, leksjes, ûnthâlden en driuwe dy' t fierder effekt ha wolle oan wa' t ik hjoed bin.
Troch de ynternasjonale wike fan Dankberêdheid wolle ik werom gean nei de gemeenskappen en minsken dy dy' t op dy reis begryplike haadstikken krije kinne - net om derom te freegjen, mar ienfâldich iets werom te jaan.
Mei myn ûndertekening Wyt Guitar en de muzyk fan TimTim.Live Konpa, hoop ik op dizze plakken te besykjen mei ien ien ynfâldich berjocht:
Tige tank.
Tige tank foar de mooglikheden.
Tige tank foar de vriendskapen.
Tige tank foar de ynstruksjes.
Tanke foar jo help oan de soarte.
Maar de sjoggeiz ferline oer myn persoanlike fertusken.
Myn hoop is dat ynternasjonale wike fan dankbaarheid in jierlikse globale tradisje ynwreidzje kin – ien wike elts jier wêryn' t staden, gemeenskappen, bedriuws, en individuen skoftsje om de minsken te ûndersykjen dy' t har ferjitten foarme.
Wat begjint as ien persoan' s reis fan dankberheid kin in globale beweging wurde - fergeasket ons dat efter elke prestaasje, elke mooglikheid, en eltse feroaring yn in driuwdem de minsken dy doarten iepene, dy' t oanbean binne, dielde kennis of gewoan yn ien fan dyn meast.
Ien wike. Tûzend steden. Milloanen feroaringen. Ien universeel berjocht: Tanke.
“I left searching for opportunity. I return carrying a White Guitar, TimTim.Live Konpa, and a heart full of gratitude.”

Vragen & antwurden
Wat is ynternasjonale wike fan dankbaarheid?+
In jierlikse, stadsbemittelde ynternasjonale fear dy' t gemeenskappen ferbine troch muzyk, toerisme, cultuur, educaasje, entreprenearring, gasvryheid en vriendskip — in TimTim.Live Globaal initiatief.
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 de wyte 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.
