The Sunday Project – Distribution of Meals to hungry Children in Haiti
„It´s unbelievable that it´s been a whole year. We still can´t believe it´s true. It´s like unreal, it´s a dream, but unfortunately it is reality,” Tito Jackson told in an interview. The entrie´s headline is
Bet, we are millions, who feel the way Tito feels, though our way of grief may be different. One year ... and doesnt´t it more feel like this tragedy happened yesterday?
For me this was no year without Michael – just the opposite! I think most of us will have spent much more time than before with talking and writing about Michael, re-reading his books and books written about him, interpretating the lyrics of his songs, listening to his music, watching videos with him on You Tube, reading tribute-sites on the internet, going into the theater to see “This is it”, paying attention to audio files of his speeches, researching the web for some wandwritten, lovely notes to his fans such as

and so much more....What it all comes down to is: he kept us pretty busy.:))
His loss made some of us even creating an own MJ-related website or blog, to keep his legacy of L.O.V.E alive...
So this year was both: A year without Michael – and on the other hand so fullfilled with thinking of him. We felt frustrated to the extreme because he has physically left us – and we were blessed enough to feel his spirit all around us, making us meeting wonderful friends on an international level and inspiring us for actions and activities of L.O.V.E.
The anniversary of Michael´s passing will be a hard and strange day. There will be people visiting Forest Lawn`s Holy Terrasse and various memorials all over the world; there will be prayers, candlelight and ...tears – though Michael would like us to smile. There will be events to celebrate Michael Jackson for what he was and will always be: The world´s greatest entertainer.
People will spend this day in many different ways – how about doing something this day to honor him and his humanitarian efforts for children?
He spend hundreds of million dollars for children who were in need.
Let´s follow him on his humanitarian path and donate some money for some of the poorest of the poor: The children of Cité Soleil in Port au Prince, Haiti.
After the devasting earthquake in January 2010 Carel Pedre, a born Haitian became THE VOICE of Haiti, keeping the world updated with what was going on in Port au Prince and coordinating via his account on Twitter (@carelpedre) aid supplies given to charity to come to people who were in strong need for it over weeks. Left himself with bread and water and sleeping in his car with some friends he was still on air to send stories from people who survived to encouraged the haitian people.

This world could really need more people like this.
Carel did not leave Haiti - he remained staying there. He sent his wife with his little daughter to The States, where they are save.
On EasterSunday he started a project called "theSundayProject" intending to distribute food to the children in Soleil Cité, one of the poorest departments in Port au Prince.

It´s great work these guys are doing and the world needs more people who just look around and feel that they have to care and start acting having nothing left but their life, their love and their intent to care for others.
Dear #MJfam, let us support #TheSundayProject on Haiti and donate money in Michael Jacksons´s name to honor him on his first anniversary of death.
Michael has taught us, that the children of the world are OUR children, especially when their parents not able to care about them.

Therefore WE have to care about them.
We can not relax and say “they´ll” help them.

WE have to make that change and help.
Go for it, spread the word around and help Carel Pedre and his team be able to buy food for the hungry children of Cité Soleil -so that we can go on dreaming of a better tomorrow.Every Dollar can help. Do not give up the idea of donating just because your are not able to spend much. Help spreading the word around to finally get many, many people of the MJfam helping #TheSundayProjet to go on with their great work.
