Welcome! and Thank You for visiting
ODL.
- The Organization for the
Development of Lascahobas, Inc. (ODL) was founded in Brooklyn New York on
April 21, 1990 by a group of young Lascahobassians living in the New-York and Boston
areas. A call for support by a soccer team from Lascahobas to Patrick Tertulien
prompted him to team up with his longtime friend Roland Simon in order to reach as many
Lascahobas natives as possible to come to the soccer team help.
- But at that initial meeting, on April
7, 1990, something magical happened. Those presents wanted to go beyond helping a
soccer team; they wanted to do a little bit more. Young and olds joined hands to
attempt to help Lascahobas: ODL was born.
- The organization is currently licensed
and incorporated in the State of New York. It has also obtained a non-profit
organization status and tax exemption privilege from the Internal Revenue Services under
section 501(c) (3).

- ODL is governed by a ten member board,
called the Central Directorate Committee or in French "Comité
Directeur Central".
- This board is made up of five elected officers: a President, a
Vice-President, a General Secretary, an Assistant-General Secretary, and a Treasurer.
Those elected officers ultimately choose five advisers before they take office. (see ODL's Structure). This Central Directorate Committee is assisted by eight other committees.

- The main goal of ODL is to rally all
caring individuals and organizations to the cause of the people of Lascahobas. We,
at ODL, hope to gather enough resources to enable us to help the children and people of
Lascahobas-Haïti in the domain of education, health and other basic necessities.
Furthermore, ODL will support and/or work with any other non-profit organization dedicated
to the cause of Lascahobas.
