Kesse & Responses
Cwè est li samwinne internacionåle di gratesse?+
Ene floyaedje internacionåle anêye, loyeyeye des comunités ki raloxhèt pa muzike, turisme, culture, evoyaedje, l 'imerdjey, l' ovraedje, l' ospitalité et l' amiyaté — ene inicijative globåle di 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.
Cwè est li Blanke Guitare?+
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.
