Even though the plight of Haiti is no longer on the news every day, that doesn’t mean we don’t still think of the Haitian people and the tragedy they are living through.

At my school last year, we collected money to donate to the Children’s Charity, Danita’s Children in Haiti, We wish them nothing but success and love in the rebuilding of their beatiful island.
As a family we would love someday to travel there with Danita’s Children and assist in any way that we can!
I have long felt the desparate poverty in Haiti was one of the U.S. darkest shames. How could our country stand by in it’s wealth while Haitian children had to survive on dirk cakes & so close to our shores! If that wasn’t enough, they had to be torn to shreds by that horrible earthquake. Let’s hope we can rebuild something new together, in a new direction with love & compation.
We’re still thinking of the families in Haiti and sending our wishes for continued rebuilding.

It’s so very, very hard to imagine what families in Haiti are going through. I’ve read so many testimonials and reports, seen photos of communities there and am amazed by their spirit. The album and the concert line-up are inspiring.:: kudos to all who worked on the project(s). We won’t be able to make it down to Look Park in late September, though– have a great time!
It is amazing that so many artists are joining together to make a difference in Haiti!
We live in Northampton.
Great cause and nice line-up of musicians supporting the cause.

I just watched video of this beautiful festival they have in Haiti called Saut D’eau. Everyone comes together to celebrate life and all the beauty it includes. The Haitian people are a beautiful and resilient people! I will support them anyway I’m able!
