CallDirek donates to Kako's Smile Project Haiti

MIAMI, FL, October 4, 2012 – In support of the SMILE PROJECT HAITI, CallDirek has donated 17 computers to a school in Haiti, which will serve for a new computer classroom. The founder of the SMILE PROJECT HAITI Jacque “Kako” Bourjolie has been helping kids around the country through his foundation for many years. The foundation holds fundraisers, or comedy shows around the country to raise the awareness of privileged to help out the less privileged. Thanks to the SMILE PROJECT HAITI, many children now have homes, clothes, books and even schools to attend. The future of Haiti is in the hands of the youth and the SMILE PROJECT HAITI would like to see the kids they are helping be the leaders of tomorrow.    

About Smile Project Haiti

The SMILE PROJECT HAITI is a movement dedicated to giving back to the community. By reaching out to the children, sharing our hope within their communities we can make a difference in many lives and we will encourage a more harmonious environment. SMILE will bring hope, relief and joy allowing one child at a time to dare to dream for a brighter future. We are launching one project per month, targeting a specific need in the community. The aim of this campaign will be to teach privileged children to help underprivileged ones. We will visit schools to talk to students about the circumstances that many children find themselves in. We want to show the children how to get involved and how they can help each other. The basis of Project SMILE's vision is one child helping another.

CallDirek at Compas Fest

The weekend of the 18^th of May has to be the most exhausting weekend of year for us here at CallDirek. Calldirek sponsors every year the biggest Haitian festival in Miami Compas Festival. Tuesday a couple of days before the event promo bags were getting filled with T-shirts, pens, bottle opener key chains and more. We rented a huge van to transport all of our equipment for the big day compass fest. On Thursday we attended the Compas Fest press conference, where artists like Mika Ben, Carimi, Gazman Coulè, La Rose and more spoke and as usual reporters asked those tough questions. Some of the artists felt a little insulted when a reporter asked them how they felt that “Compas Music” wasn’t popular anymore. They fired back by replying; back in the days only one Compas band travelled the world to perform, that band is Tropicana. Now there are about 5 to 6 bands that travel the world to perform, like Carimi and T-Vice, who have gone to France, Australia, Canada and more. Friday the tension aroused in the office, by 12 PM a group of the staff went to Bayfront Park to start setting up. Tents and banners were placed everywhere. The rain started to fall but it did not stop us from accomplishing our mission. Soaked we anchored the tents, climb ladders to tie banners and placed tear drop banners all over the park.

Finally the day had arrived Saturday! Compas fest was only hours away and we still had some bam bams to blow up and a Blimp to fill with helium. The crew woke up since 7 am  and we all met at the park at 8 to fix the minors details. We were greeted by the rain once again but this time way too early. The event started and went on even with the massive rain pouring people where coming in with ponchos and umbrellas the rain didn’t stop the people from coming in an enjoying the great compas music and the incredible Haitian food. The Musicians and bands sang their hearts out to celebrate Haiti’s flag day, the people were dancing and chanting under the rain. By 7:30 the rain stopped and more people started coming, the excitement was in the air, Haitian beer was flowing the music was good the people dancing and chanting along with their favorite bands. The Calldirek staff started giving out goody bags with flash lights, shirts, pens and glow sticks. Within minutes the park was glowing orange. It was a magnificent site to see. As the night ended, the staff wasn’t done working we had to take everything down, tents and banners and load them on the van. Compas Fest was a success the people were happy and the staff was finally going to get some quality sleep.

I would like to give a special thanks to the staff that was present day and night since Wednesday, Nahiman Moreno, Alexandre Laiutaud, Fabrice Laforest, Fabienne Georges, Melissandre Cabral Perez, Juan Carlos and also our helpers for Saturday, Bertrand Florville, Yadiris Brito, Natacha Morisseau, Laura Hernandez, Auri Guevara and Solangie Rodriguez.

Calldirek Agent Support Team

 

    Calldirek has well over 100,000 agents located throughout the United States and Canada. When some of their issues arouse they call agent support. Agent support is a team composed of two women Natacha Morisseau and Laura Hernandez. These two do an incredible job, they help agents who have problem recharging, creating new vendor accounts and even sign up new agents. They have set up a very simple method on how to approach the agents calling, Natacha takes care of all French and Creole speaking agents and Laura takes care of the Latin agents and they both share agents who speak English.

      Natacha is known through the office as the “Paté girl” for she brings patties by the load on every Mondays and Wednesday. I must imply that she did not bring it this week which made couple of the employees cry (I was clearly one of them). She also likes to undergo little private investigations when processing new document.

      Laura is a great worker she does her work very well, and has good work ethics. She is fairly new at Calldirek, she started working in February, but she picked up the agent vibe quite well. She keeps a very positive attitude and if ever your eyes were to fall on hers she will not stop laughing.

     Taking care of all of Calldirek’s agents is a tough task but the agent support girls are committed to help the agents and they do it out of love. We thank them for their outstanding work and positive ambiance.

Natacha Morisseau and Laura Hernandez
