Nassau, Bahamas - Following a fire
on Wednesday night that devastated a Haitian shanty town just west of Fire
Trail Road that left some residents homeless and others horrified by the
tragedy they had witnessed, Aliv teamed up with local activist and radio
personality Louby Georges to help bring some comfort to the community.
The blaze started
shortly after 9 p.m. and quickly spread through the mini town.
By early Thursday
morning, the Aliv team had made its way to the shanty town in one of its mobile
vans filled with necessities like bottles of water and juice, toilet paper and
food supplies.

Senior Aliv
Partner Carl Momplaisir pointed out that giving back to the community and
assisting those in need highlights the community-centered brand that Aliv is
striving to build.
“It all ties in
with what we try to do,” said Momplaisir. “We try to do as much as we can with
what we have.
“The Haitian
community has been very supportive to us and we want to give back to them as
much as we can.”
In the wake of
the fire, Aliv employees were asked to bring donations of clothing to the
company’s Soldier Road Headquarters. Aliv plans to give those clothes to
children who lost their belongings as a result of that fire, at a later date.
