’S eadar-seachdain luathsach a th’ anns an t-eadar-ghlacadh eadarlaideach air a th’ air a thòigh-innseachan eadarnáisiúnta le TimTim.Live coitcheann. Tha gach ionad a tha a’ freagairt ri prògram a dhèanamh mar bu chòir gu h-ionadail a thaobh na daoine, cultar, eachdraidh, turasachd, feadhainn, gnìomhanasan, neach-ciùil, studentan is pobailtean.
’S urrainn dhan t-seachdain a-steach coirnean, taisbeanadh cultar, cabhraichean ollscoile, foròman gnóthais, taithisean biadh, cleasan beoireachta, seirbheis pobailte, prògraman a’ chruinneamh, a’ chleachdadh ghiotara geal.

Teachdaireachd o Pierre-Richard AugustinName
Rugadh ann an Les Cayes, Haiti, agus tha iad ann na Stàitean Aonaichte nuair a bha dà dhiag a dh’aois, bha m’ bheatha cruthachadh le daoine, aitean, cultan agus deisean air fad an t-saoghail.
Thuig Haiti mo fhreachichean dhiubh. Cha d’Aimeireaga a chruthaich m’atha ri teachd. Agus fhad a’ bha an t-saoghail a thoirt dom cairdeasan, deisean, seacsaichean, cuimhnean agus aisleanan a leantainn air ballrachd a tha mi an-diugh.
Trìs air an t-seachdain eadar-mhalainteachd, tha mi airson aiseag dhan chumann agus dhaoine a dh'fhalbh air chaibidil-chaibidil san t-slighe sin— chan ann a iarraidh airson sam bith, ach dìreach rud a thoirt air ais.
Le m’ fhìor-signachadh Gìtar geal is ceòl le TimTim.Live Konpa, tha mi feum air taigh a dhèanamh air na h-ionadan seo le aon teachdaireachd simplidh:
Taing.
Taing leat airson nan deisean.
Taing leat airson na cairtean.
Taing leat airson na slanaichean.
Taing leat a bhith 'na phàirt sa t-sama.
Ach tha an fhaicinn fad nas mo sgeulachd fhearsa.
Is eadar-shobair mo t-sgrìobhadh air an t-seachdain Glèidheachd eadarlaideach a dh’fhasas ann an traidseachd coitcheann bhliadhna – seachdain gach bliadhna nuair a tha bailtean, pobailtean, gnìomhan, gnàthaichean, teaghlachdan agus daoine stad gus a dhèanamh air na daoine a chruthaich an sgeulan aca.
A thòisicheas an turas a tha taing dhaoine a dh'fhalbh gu gluasad iom-ghabhsach, a' measg againn gun robh iad air cùlaibh gach adhart, gach deis, agus gach aisgla a choimhlionadh, tha daoine ann a bha fosgail dorasan, a tha eolas a dhèanamh, a cho-roinnt no a chreid dhaibh fhein.
Seachdain. Mìltean de bhailtean. Milleadh sgeulan. A h-uile teachdaireachd: Tapadh leat.
“I left searching for opportunity. I return carrying a White Guitar, TimTim.Live Konpa, and a heart full of gratitude.”

Ceistean & freagair
Dè seachdain luathsachais eadar-adhartach a tha ann?+
Bliadhnaichean eadar-ghabhsach, a th’ ann an ceòl, gaismachd, cultar, foghlaim, fiosrachadh, feasgarachd agus cairdeachd — thòigh-thionndadh coitcheann TimTim.Live.
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.
Dè an giotàr geal a tha?+
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.
Seachdain eadar-dhealach luathsachais
Aon t-saoghail. A h-aon teaghlach. Gu buan.
