Haiti Slide Show

Harvey Beth and Jeanne Staples have just returned from Haiti and will be showing slides of their trip at the Vineyard Haven Public Library on March 1 at 7 p.m. These are not your typical home movies.

These slides tell the story of Haiti in 2011 as it continues to suffer from the earthquake of 2010. The rebuilding has been very slow. But still, hope is evident as the talk will address.

There will also be an update on the PeaceQuilt project. Macy’s Department Store picked up several items from the PeaceQuilt Cooperatives to offer in their Heart of Haiti special in December. The project has also expanded to additional parts of Haiti, some of which may have the potential to become revitalized art and tourist centers.
