HEART OF HAITI- SUPPORT!!

Thursday, December 2, 2010


During these Christmas season it is so important to remember what this holiday is all about. It is not about what people can do for us, but more of what we can do for people. God gifted us with more than we could ever ask for when he sent us his son, the least we could do for him is to help care for his people. Here is a great way to support Haiti!

Through the sale of Heart of Haiti products, artisans are able to earn life-changing income for themselves, their families, and their communities. The initiative is enabling artisans to repair homes, pay school fees, and feed and clothe their families. The income also allows them to have access to better nutrition, improved education and healthcare.

Stop buying empty gifts- buy gifts that make a difference in the lives of someone. Look at some key facts on the Heart of Haiti campaign:

  • The Heart of Haiti collection has already led to employment of 350 artists in Haiti and has provided some financial benefits for an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people in the country
  • Each item is designed by a master Haitian artist and made by hand in Haiti
  • Each product is made from recycled materials.
  • The collection includes 40 different home decor items and accessories
  • Products include vases, candleholders, serving trays, picture frames, mirrors, coasters, necklaces, clutch purses and more
  • Most items fall in the $25-$60 range

So, remember we are called by God to care for his people. Make this Christmas a memorable one for the people that need it the most!
