This is a time for us all to act. Whatever charity you choose. Wycliff’s is AWESOME. Go there and text your support. The Canadian Red Cross is another you can trust…Please beware of scams. Sadly, it’s no big surprise that there are vultures who profit off this kinda thing. Speaking of which, how’d you like that KING SCUM, Pat Robertson’s take on Haiti? What a douche. Here is a piece that is a MUST READ when it comes to what is really going on and what needs to be done: READ IT!
Anyway, AFTER you’ve acted take some time to pray, meditate, light a candle…whatever it is you do. At some point do yourself a favor and take the time to learn a little about this much-maligned land. This is not the first time we’ve been inundated with horrifying images of Haiti. In fact with new media’s pervasive influence, Haiti is a country many of us had written off as perpetually messed up LONG before this even. Those that are familiar with my work know this popular misconception is something I’ve been looking to beat down for ages: to educate we rich North Americans about Haiti, the Capable…Haiti, the Sublime….Haiti, the Beautiful…Haiti, the Vital!
And that’s where I’m going to leave this post. Take some time to go through my images of Haiti. At the very least it’ll be a welcome break from what we’ve been seeing over the past day or so….but also I hope these inspire you to look deeper into the question of ‘what is Haiti’. Please do not write Her off as pathetic, poor, needy, but rather, understand that this country, and her people have much to offer and much to teach us.
Please pass these around to people who you think might need them….
