FePouLi has been dedicated to creating workshops that embody life skills that help empower the youth through practical conflict resolution strategies using painting, poetry, visual arts such as photography and film. Poetic Lakay has been a very popular monthly event which takes place at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex giving local poets a platform.

Ayiti Was Born in Me

This program aims to increase cultural awareness and diversity via Haitian culture, art, music, history and literature for students in Broward and Miami Dade County. Various artists conduct lectures, musical presentations, art exhibits and storytelling to increase the knowledge about the Haitian culture to Haitian American and non-Haitians students.

Little Haiti Field Trips

By immersing our youth in Our/Haitian culture, an appreciation develops for nuances and differences that add richness and value to the experience. With an emphasis on doing and feeling, in addition to just seeing, our program goal is to create global citizens. Our programs engender love for travel, hunger for learning, and an appreciation of different cultures. We invite you to join the Little Haiti Field Trips family as we explore Little Haiti and discover what it means to be a traveler, not a tourist.

Poetic Lakay

Once a month in Little Haiti we host a culturally driven open MIC for the community which includes presentations of music, poems and dialogue that revolves around concepts ranging from pride, romance, social issues, politics in pursuit of preserving culture.

PAINTING with a PURPOSE

PAINTING with a PURPOSE seeks to use the art of painting as a therapeutic vehicle by motivating, empowering, teaching, supporting and strengthening young people in our communities to become advocates of positive change and builders of tommorow. Our organization explores creative ways to engage young people, challenge them and encourage them to be creative and independent thinkers.

PAINTING with a PURPOSE engages children at an early age to create and understand their own visions, to identify the positive aspects of their communities as well as identify the problems that their communities face collectively.

FePouLi: Childrens Hope Chest of Dreams, Inc. is committed to the long-term process of building collective leadership and sustainable community change thru the arts. We are dedicated in engaging the youth in creative activities, workshops and cultural programming that will empower them to be future leaders of their communities.
