Proceeds will be donated to The Association of Peasants Fondwa (APF), a grassroots organization that has worked men nan men ("hand in hand") with the peasants of Fondwa, Haiti since 1988. Specifically, towards rebuilding the orphanage destroyed in the disaster, just outside of Port Au Prince. This is a charity that Tara DePorte (a participating artist) has done her undergrad thesis with and has kept in close touch.
At least we will know exactly where the proceeds are going!
Thank you in advance!
