New Haiti Election Billboards, Something Students Can Use!

How do you campaign for the Haiti elections and help the school kids at the same time? Candidate Yves Cristalin has an idea... Find out what it is... Read this...

While many Haitian candidates for presidents are spending a fortune on expensive billboards, Cristalin came up with a clever idea.

Why not give out school supplies as campaign paraphernalia?

HMMMMMMM....

The elections in Haiti coincides with he opening of school in Haiti and many parents don't have money to send their kids to school.

Those who do don't have money to purchase school supplies.

Guess what Yves Cristalin did...

He decided to spend some of his campaign money on school bags, notebooks, pens, and pencils with his campaign slogan "Cris Kapab" printed on it instead os spending tens of thousands of dollars on billboards.

He then went around giving them out to school kids.

By the way...

Cristalin's campain video is now available online, featuring Kessy from Koudjay...

Watch it now...

Yves Cristalin told the Haitian media that he thought this would a great way to drive the message out there and help out with the opening of school in Haiti at the same time.

What do you think?

Do you think this is a clever idea?

Clever but he's exploiting the situation for his own gain. There's two sides to this one. Parents and kids are happy but they are used as campaign platform.

If you will give, give from the heart.

Don't give because you may get something in

I don't believe in written program for Haiti now because the Clinton Bellerive commission already has it. We are looking for vision and, I think what Yves cristalin just did is a mark of the kind of Vision Haiti
