I will never forget hearing of the mass devastation caused by the earthquake in Haiti last year.
I was in New York City with some blogging friends, visiting the Martha Stewart show, without a care in the world.
To turn on the television and see the absolute ruin of so many lives crushed me.
I know that it did many others too.
It has been a year since that natural disaster changed the lives of thousands of people forever.
And we must not forget.
There is a wonderful program called Heart of Haiti that is helping Haitians to make a living in this time of economic disruption. Using materials available in the rubble of this tragedy, the people of Haiti are able to make beautiful hand crafted items that are then sold by the Heart of Haiti project. The local Haitian artisan receives 22% of the retail value of each item they make and sell.
These are hand crafted bowls made by a local artisan. I think they are gorgeous.
Then there is this collection which I would definitely display in my home:
Please head over to the Heart of Haiti website and support the people of Haiti as they rebuild their lives and livelihoods.
I was selected for this very special “CleverHaiti” opportunity by Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity. All opinions are my own.
