Creativity that helps

Remember our friend Jeremy from
Help Portrait? - Well, post Haiti, he was on the ground using his craft with the idea of helping people. And you know, we LOVE that.
"After the 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti on January 12th of this year, I was deeply moved as most of you were. For days I watched as the television flashed images of gloom and doom... dead bodies, crumbled buildings... It just felt like a heartless display of numbers and statistics. "How were the people feeling?" I wondered. I was tired of hearing endless reports from strangers that just arrived to this devastated nation. So I decided to go to Port-Au-Prince myself and ask them directly. My question was simply "What do you have to say about all this?" This photo essay reveals the many answers to that question."

What is amazing is that this photo essay is being used as a tool to raise funds directly for Haitian people in need of help. It's a perfect example of how we can all do our part, use our gifts and talents, to be a part of the greater solution that our world so desperately needs.
