ALBANY, New York. – On May 17th, 2011, Batey Relief Alliance’s founder/CEO, Ulrick Gaillard, will travel to New York State’s capital, Albany, to receive a Citation from members of the New York State Assembly recognizing the humanitarian work of the organization for the past fourteen years. The resolution was sponsored by Rhoda S. Jacobs, Assemblywoman for the 42nd Assembly District in Brooklyn where BRA was founded on October 23, 1997.
The Legislative Body recognizes that the quality and character of life in the communities across New York State are reflective of the concerned and dedicated efforts of those organizations and individuals who would devote themselves to the welfare of both the local and the global community and its citizenry; and that the vital mission of the BRA is to address the socioeconomic and health needs of families in the Caribbean, particularly those with children who are severely affected by poverty, disease and hunger in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, regardless of race, sex, creed, religion, economic status, national origin or political affiliation.
Recognizing its strength and commitment, and the quality and extent of its programs and services, the Legislative Body further extends its highest commendation to the Batey Relief Alliance and applauds its preeminent endeavors and accomplishments.
