Cloud 9 Adventures – the team behind music travel experiences Jam Cruise, Holy Ship!, Mayan Holidaze and Panic en la Playa – gives back to the communities they visit via their non-profit organization Positive Legacy. For Jam Cruise’s recent 10^th sailing, the MSC Poesia visited port Haiti where Positive Legacy partnered with various organizations on humanitarian and environmental outreach projects to benefit the specific needs of the local communities.  The good work of Positive Legacy enabled Jam Cruise 10 to donate 12,200+ pairs of shows, 2,000 pairs of new socks to Haitian communities as well as seeding 6,000 citrus trees to help build the growing nursery in Limonade, Haiti.  

Positive Legacy is also providing $9,000 to Haiti Village Health to improve sanitary conditions at their clinic, which up until now has been providing primary care services to 25,000 people without any running water. Construction of a well and septic system is currently under way, and the funding from Positive Legacy will provide for bathrooms with plumbing to sinks and toilets, and a new roof on the clinic.  For more information on Positive Legacy's work, check out www.positivelegacy.com.
