An Interview with James Felter of Voice of Haiti / Vwa Ayiti International

A few days ago, I sat down with James Felter, founder and President of Vwa Ayiti / Voice of Haiti International. We talked about some of the challenges his organization faces day to day in Haiti, what they’ve been doing there before, during, and after the disaster, and what he and Voice of Haiti hope to accomplish in the coming months.

Below are parts one and two of the interview.

So far this year, ServInt has been involved in a number of initiatives that place renewed focus on our long-standing tradition of corporate social responsibility.

• We co-sponsored an incredible concert in support of Haiti at DC9 this past February. ServInt matched 100% of the donations at the event which went to Vwa Ayiti / Voice of Haiti.
• Along with dozens of our esteemed colleagues and competitors in the hosting industry, ServInt co-sponsored Hosting for Haiti. Hosting for Haiti helped direct donations to the International Response Fund as well as direct relief in Haiti via the American Red Cross.
• We are a co-sponsor of Indie Music for Haiti, one of the coolest experiments in user-generated content I’ve ever had the pleasure to see, much less be a part of. Our two collaborators on the project, Asparagus Media and Simple Station, will also be contributing to our blog very soon.

All this alongside the launch of our brand new website, customer portal, our new Solo Series of dedicated servers (including the Solo Express), and our most aggressive VPS Promo ever.

Needless to say, 2010 has been a very busy year so far.
