Amou

Welcome to Amou! Amou is an idea developed for the purpose of relieving poverty in Haiti. It is a clothing company designed to raise awareness for the Haitian people's condition and to raise money to support humanitarian and missions work there. The idea is that for every products sold, half of the profits will go directly to humanitarian work in Haiti, while the other half of the profits will go to sustaining the business. During the summer of 2009, I had the opportunity to travel to Haiti with a team and help run a soccer camp for some children in a rural village. This trip truly changed my life and the way the I view the world and my own posessions. I saw poverty beyond my imagination, and saw first-hand the suffering they endure every day. Every day is a struggle for survival. Food is scarce, and children often eat once a day. The things that I had always taken for granted were things that these people had never seen before. They are desperate for salvation from the situations they are in. Amou is the Creole (the language of Haiti) word for Love. Our mission is to love. We want to demonstrate God's love to the people of Haiti by serving their needs and showing them the love that God has given us. We are dedicated to loving the hurting, giving hope to the hopeless, and being friends to the lonely. We can start a movement. We can set a standard of taking action instead of simply feeling bad for people. We can practice Love. We can touch the lives of 9,000,000 hurting people and give them a hope that they have never had before. Let's start the movement. Let us know what you think! Check us out on facebook!
