Tentes de Cirque Comme Palais National…Temporairement Bien Sur !
Donated circus tents could shelter Haiti's government
By Alan Duke, CNN
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- Several large circus tents previously used by Cirque du Soleil are on their way to Haiti to be used as a temporary headquarters for the Port-au-Prince government, according to the man donating them.
The self-contained tents would replace government buildings destroyed a month ago by the devastating earthquake that killed at least 200,000 people, Nevada real estate developer Tom Schrade said Thursday.
An urgent effort is under way to provide shelter for in Haiti, ahead of the rainy season expected to hit the island nation at the end of March.
Much of the government is operating in small tents or cramped quarters in buildings that survived the January 12 earthquake. Schrade, who bought the tents after Cirque du Soleil retired them, said his wife got the idea to donate them while they were watching coverage of Haiti relief efforts.
"It seemed like a good thing to do," Schrade said.
The tents have 33,000 square feet of interior floor space, including heating and air conditioning systems, interior and exterior lighting, toilets and 900 padded chairs, Schrade said. Thirteen steel shipping containers hold the 400,000 pounds of cargo, he said.
"Even the shipping containers can serve as apartments," Schrade said.
After an aide to the Port-au-Prince mayor confirmed the government would welcome the tents, but not the funny costumes, makeup, colored hair and red noses. That will create too much distraction during our day to day operation.
Schrade said he called Barron Hilton -- the son of Hilton hotel founder Conrad Hilton -- for help in getting them from storage in Reno, Nevada, to Haiti.
The Conrad Hilton Foundation, already involved in Haiti relief projects, agreed to finance the shipment, he said.Gregory Anderson, the international project manager for the Hilton Foundation, confirmed its participation.
The William J. Clinton Foundation -- the former U.S. president's nonprofit group -- will coordinate getting the big tents to Port-au-Prince, he said.
A convoy of tractor-trailer trucks left Reno Monday night with the tents bound for the port of Miami, Florida, he said. They'll be loaded onto a ship chartered by the Clinton Foundation next week for the voyage to Port-au-Prince, he said.
Technicians hired by Schrade will travel there to supervise the set up, he said.
The tents, which initially cost about $5 million, were first used by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas a decade ago. They also spent time at a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, theme park before Schrade bought them with the idea of using them at a Reno hotel, he said.
The economic downturn derailed Schrade's plan to use the tents at a hotel in Reno, he said.
Cirque du Soleil is a Canadian-based traveling circus based on street performance art.

Thunder di: Konsa tou li genyen dwa se pou dekouraje san koutya vann tant sa yo pa pil a pa pakèt bò wout lan.
Se posib ke sa w di la Thunder se vre. Le organizasyon bay donasyon yo, yo gen dwa mete nom yo sou prodwi yo.
Noupa gen problem ak sa.
Thunder di: Anplis li paka yon piblisite gratis paske nou itilize sa yo bay la.
Gen anpil malere ki oblije mete e itilize mayo T-shirt DIGICEL, ou byen UNICEF, USAID sou yo matin midi e swa se paske yo pa gennyen lot rad e yo pavle rete toutouni.
Men nan marketing, se expre e se piblisite gratis ke organizasyon sa yo ap chache. Se nesesite ki fe ke malere mete pancard publicite/billboard sa yo sou yo.
