Response to Part IY(continued):
In addition to the foregoing, the Organization also desires to embark on a program to train
and teach inner city underprivileged youth, the inner workings of a functional digital radio station
which is up and operational in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
The President of One Caribbean Foundation, Inc., Edmon Braithwaite is also a co-founder
of One Caribbean Radio which was launched in October 2007 and is heard in New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut. It is a digital radio station that broadcasts discussions, local news,
weather and information,, representing all ethnic groups, social and service organizations and other
segments of the community. It provides programming by live announcers including music from a
variety style format. One Caribbean Radio presents community information and hosts several
prominent political and business leaders of New York City.
One Caribbean Radio is the destination of choice for politicians eager to reach the 3
million plus Caribbean-American community of New York City.
Brooklyn District Attorney Joe Hynes and City Council members Bill de Blasio, Mathieu
Eugene, Letitia James and David Yassky have been on One Caribbean Radio shows, as has former
City Councilwoman Una Clarke. On one occasion, Brooklyn District Attorney Joe Hynes was at
St. Gregory's Catholic Church, which is located in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn,
when the Reverend Caleb Buchanan, a native of St. Kitts, and Bishop Guy Sansaricq held a
special rededication ceremony and fund-raiser for the station.
Hynes said his monthly appearance on air at the station "is very important, because it
allows me to talk about the programs we have in the office that have a substantial impact on
Caribbean countries and the Caribbean community here."
The station fills a void in radio for Caribbean nationals created when WLIB AM 1190
became Air Americas flagship station two years ago. WUB has since become a 24-hour gospel
station. As such, the station hired many Caribbean disc jockeys and radio personalities, such as
Bob (Spiceman) Frederick, Ian (The Goose) Eligon and newsman Franklin (Bobby) Vieira. The

station will be less about music and dancing and more about issues Caribbean-Americans are
facing here and abroad. Mr. Braithwaite desires to expand the station's vision to eventually
include One Caribbean Television and 24 hour radio programming for and about the people and
the islands of the Caribbean.
One Caribbean Foundation, Inc. will use the resources of One Caribbean Radio, including
but not limited to, the experience and influence of its on air personalities, administrative staff,
invited celebrity, political, business and culturally influential guests
One Caribbean Foundation, Inc. desires to be a resource for the training in the area of
broadcasting, communications, and other areas related to the broadcast medium to provide
instruction and training of youth to develop skills as radio operators. The lawful public or quasipublic objective which the Organization will achieve is to provide an opportunity, where there
may not be any, for individuals of modest means to learn the telecommunications business for
learning and job empowerment.
Specifically the main objectives of the Organization's youth program are as follows:
To provide twelve (12) weeks of technical hands on training in use of studio
equipment after which participants will have a working knowledge of radio
technology
To provide a twelve (12) week workshop in script writing communication skills, at
the end of which participants will be able to write, listen and speak critically and
effectively in areas of health, education and media
To provide a twelve (12) week mentoring and networking workshop to enable
participants to apply concepts and methods shared at these sessions to effectively
assist in creating vocational opportunities; and
To provide internships to various media, health and education institutions. Focal
points of the internship are personal values, human diversity, multicultural
awareness and social responsibilities.

Response to Part I V(continued):
In connection with achieving and embarking upon this exempt activity; One Caribbean
Foundation, Inc. has been awarded a $100,000.00 grant to be administered by the New York State
Office of Children & Family Services ("OCFS"). A copy of the award announcement letter dated
March 22, 2010, from Gladys Carrion, Esq., the Commissioner of OCFS, is attached.
All activities are governed by the Board of Directors and all activities are implemented by
the officers. The Directors and Officers will devote over an average of 30 hours each week
towards planning events and imp1ethnting the Organization's mission and goals.
In furtherance of its mission, 'the Organization will devote its activities to identifying
participants, instructors, social care professionals and community volunteers and in obtaining
financial support for the Organization's community activities.
Again, the aforementioned activities will be conducted by the Organization's Officers and
Ddirectors. The Organization expects to carry out its exempt functions principally through
soliciting donations and grants that will help further its mission and objective.
The Organization seeks to be recognized as exempt from tax under Section 50(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of1986, as amended (the "Code"), because it has been organized and
will be operated exclusively for "charitable" purposes as required by Section 501(c)(3), and its
assets will be permanently dedicated to its exempt purposes. The Organization's objectives fit
squarely with the definition of the term "charitable" because this objective serves the public
interest.
