0 Help us raise $1000 for Haiti
Francophone Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, needs our help.
We've set a goal of $1,000 US to donate through Partners in Health, an organization that has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years.
Please click the image above to help us reach our goal!
As of January 22nd, Partners in Health had sent 22 plane loads with 144 medical volunteers - orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, surgical nurses and other medical professionals - and several thousand pounds of medical supplies to support the more than 4,500 PIH health care providers already in Haiti. But they need more help!

Secondhand (Pepe) our February giveaway
In Secondhand (Pepe), filmmakers Shell & Bertozzi weave two narratives into a visual and sonic journey. The historical memoir of a Jewish immigrant rag picker intertwines with the present-day story of "pepe" – secondhand clothing that flows from the United States to Haiti.
See if you can dig the French out of the Haitian Creole!
Details on the giveaway are above and to the left.

Order a copy of the DVD from the Etsy shop of Vanessa Bertozzi, one of the filmmakers.
