Won-G has always had a dream to enrich Haiti.</p><p style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">The partnership which created the One Dome at a Time Foundation and Action Builders Company was signed by Won-G and Monolithic officers led by founder David South in the US on October 2, 2009.&nbsp; The initial target of the foundation were the poor and homeless families in Haiti, Jamaica and Senegal.&nbsp; During the signing, Won-G said the project &ldquo;will give families in Third World countries the ability to acquire their first homes.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">In recognition of his humanitarian activities, Won-G has been appointed ambassador of goodwill for both UNICEF and his native Haiti. &nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">This reflects Won-G&rsquo;s concerns as an international rapper who calls attention to poverty and injustice and sings in English, French, Spanish and Creole as medium.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">Through the &ldquo;One Dome at a Time Foundation&rdquo; , the dome-shaped dwelling will be built for needy families identified by the organization.&nbsp; The structure is easy to build, costs less then traditional structures and requires less material but provides ample protection against the most severe natural disasters, including fire, hurricanes and earthquakes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">For updates check on Won-G’s website&nbsp;<a style="color: #5797b0;" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.won-g.com/&quot; target="_blank">www.won-g.com</a>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px;">For more information contact Denise Lepow at 310-552-5318 / 713-256-1380 or email at&nbsp;<a style="color: #5797b0;" rel="nofollow" href="http://ph.mc576.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=denise@myp3r.com&quot; target="_blank">denise@myp3r.com</a>.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; m
