Trip to Haiti

Blessings People,

Some of you may remember Sarah, the aspiring journalist from SUNY Stonybrook.

Well, she received a sponsored 5 day trip to Haiti to 

document the aftermath of the earthquake when the TV camaras were gone.

Her experience in Haiti is what inspired her untitled poem at the

"Restoring Haitian Pride through Art" event.

Keep in mind: This is what the Haitian people are experiencing EVERYDAY!

So when you think you have it bad think about the next person and their problems or the people of Haiti.

Embrace Haitian Art

Blessings Beautiful People,

I would like to cordially invite you to "Restoring Haitian Pride through Art", which is an artistic event in showcasing Haitian art throughout the American community.

Before and after the unfortunate earthquake tragedy on January 12, 2010 the people of Haiti have undoubtedly fostered a rich artistic community.

For which, Haiti continues to serve as a reflection as the first Black Democratic Nation.

Haiti is a country that continues to face adversities. As a Haitian American, I believe I must

Restore,

Cultivate, 

&

Educate

people about the Haitian culture through art.

Haitian people have a story to tell through their art. This event is a WONDERFUL exploration into the Haitian culture that is bound to inspire art lovers and those who have a cultureal interest in the Caribbean island.

Please help WINGS OF ART and the other sponsors in

cultivating the Haitian culture and the Arts.

Haiti needs YOU!

Greetings Artistic beings,

You've been hearing and watching updates about the earthquake that took place in Haiti.

For those of you who may not know (which should be impossible because it's publicized everywhere) on Tuesday, January 12 around 5pm Haiti was hit with an earthquake at a magnitude of 7.0.

They compare the 7.0 earthquake to a nuclear bomb!

It's horrific to hear and see the images of people crying, scared, and confused in knowing why this situation happened to them, how will they overcome this, or knowing will they ever see their loved ones.

You guys don't know this, but I'm from Haitian descent both my parents were

born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti (the capital).

So this incident is hitting home for me and my family members.

Some of you may not understand the pain because your not from Haiti or don't know someone in Haiti.

But, think about 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina and how that affected you, your loved ones, and your country/state. It's the same feeling in Haiti, but 10x worst because everything has collapsed.

At this point in time, people want to HELP and want to know how they can help.

Wyclef Jean's (he was in the Fugee's) organization named "Yele Haiti" is asking people to text 'Yele' to 501501 to donate $5( you'll be charged $5 on your phone bill), which would go towards assisting those in Haiti.

So TEXT, TEXT,TEXT, TEXT, TEXT, TEXT, and did I say TEXT!!!!

I'm looking into ways Wings of Art can contribute to the relief effort of Haiti. If you have any creative ideas...feel free to leave a comment or send an e-mail to wingsofart@yahoo.com.

Wings of Art is all about the ARTS, but we can be CREATIVE in GIVING BACK/HELPING!
