Yon inisyativ mondyal TimTim.Live
Semèn Entènasyonal Gratitid
Konekte vil yo atravè mizik, touris, kilti, antreprenarya, edikasyon, Ospitalite, ak amitye.
Yon mond. Yon Fanmi. Pou tout tan.
Sa a se pa yon efò pou ekspòte kilti ayisyen an nan mond lan. Li kòmanse ak yon bagay ki pi senp: yon sèl moun ki di ou mèsi - pou Ayiti, nan Amerik, ak nan tout kote ki te akeyi li.
Li Prensip Fondatè a →Kisa Semèn Entènasyonal Gratitid ye?
Semèn Entènasyonal Gratitid se yon inisyativ kiltirèl entènasyonal ki dirije vil TimTim.Live Global devlope. Chak kote k ap patisipe yo prezante pwogramasyon ki enpòtan lokalman selebre moun li yo, kilti, istwa, touris, Ospitalite, biznis, atis, elèv yo ak kominote yo.
Semèn nan ka gen ladan konsè, ekspozisyon kiltirèl, diskou inivèsite, fowòm biznis, eksperyans manje, aktivite touris, sèvis kominotè, pwogram jèn, ak yon selebrasyon siyati White Guitar.
“Gratitude has no passport.”

Yon mesaj Pierre-Richard Augustin
Born in Les Cayes, Haiti, and arriving in the United States at the age of twelve, my life has been shaped by people, places, cultures, and opportunities across the world.
Haiti gave me my roots. America helped shape my future. And throughout my journey, the world has given me friendships, opportunities, lessons, memories, and dreams that continue to influence who I am today.
Through International Week of Gratitude, I want to return to the communities and people who became meaningful chapters in that journey—not to ask for anything, but simply to give something back.
With my signature White Guitar and the music of TimTim.Live Konpa, I hope to visit these places with one simple message:
Mèsi.
Thank you for the opportunities.
Thank you for the friendships.
Thank you for the lessons.
Thank you for being part of the journey.
But the vision extends far beyond my personal story.
My hope is for International Week of Gratitude to grow into an annual global tradition—one week each year when cities, communities, businesses, families, and individuals pause to recognize the people who helped shape their stories.
What begins as one person’s journey of gratitude can become a worldwide movement—reminding us that behind every achievement, every opportunity, and every dream fulfilled, there are people who opened doors, offered encouragement, shared knowledge, or simply believed in someone.
One week. Thousands of cities. Millions of stories. One universal message: Thank you.
“I left searching for opportunity. I return carrying a White Guitar, TimTim.Live Konpa, and a heart full of gratitude.”

Konsè gita blan an
Yon lèt remèsiman mizik pou chak vil lame yo.
Chak konsè pote TimTim.Live Konpa ansanm ak mizik, kilti, atis, ak istwa kote lame a. Ayiti ak Amerik rankontre vil akèy la atravè mizik. Vil lame a pataje kilti li. TimTim.Live pataje vwayaj li - ansanm, yo kreye yon nouvo konvèsasyon kiltirèl.
Konsè a ka fèt avèk oswa san Pierre prezan fizikman, atravè dj sètifye TimTim.Live, atis lokal ki gen lisans, anrejistreman ofisyèl, videyo fondatè, ak yon kouran mondyal. Pèsonn pa ka imite Pierre-Richard Augustin oswa mak TimTim.Live.

Vin yon patnè fondatè
Semèn Entènasyonal Gratitid se pa yon demann pou charite. Li se yon envitasyon pou patenarya — vizibilite entènasyonal, touris ak odyans kiltirèl, Ospitalite, angajman anplwaye, bòn volonte kominote a, ak deklanchman vil pa vil.
Seleksyon konsèy legal, koutye asirans, ak lòt konseye pwofesyonèl ap fèt. Pa gen okenn sipòtè, patnè, oswa konseye yo nonmen piblikman jiskaske yon akò ki siyen an plas.

Kesyon ak Repons
Kisa Semèn Entènasyonal Gratitid ye?+
An annual, city-led international celebration connecting communities through music, tourism, culture, education, entrepreneurship, hospitality, and friendship — a TimTim.Live Global initiative.
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.
What is the 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." References to companies, institutions, and government entities do not imply endorsement unless expressly stated.
Semèn Entènasyonal Gratitid
Yon mond. Yon Fanmi. Pou tout tan.
