During the fundraiser, guests may listen and participate in a brief panel discussion on the topic of energy and reconstruction in Haiti. Haitian Ambassador Raymond Joseph, Rick Duke and Richenda Van Leeuwen, experts on energy use in developing countries, and Duquesne Fednard, a young Haitian entrepreneur who recently started an efficient stove business in Port-au-Prince, will be featured panelists.
About EarthSpark International:
EarthSpark was created to reduce energy poverty in developing countries by creating supply chains for clean energy technology. Last year EarthSpark opened a clean energy store in Haiti to sell products such as efficient stoves, solar lamps, and solar home systems, and to become a hub for clean energy knowledge resources. The organization has fielded over 450 energy poverty surveys in two regions of the country to determine the appropriate technologies and pricing for the products it sells in its store. EarthSpark's mission is to replicate this model in other locations in the country, which will facilitate Haiti's post-disaster recovery.
