Plus…we raised nearly $2000 for The Apparent Project with jewelry and Christmas ornament sales that will go directly to the artisans in Haiti.

In addition to the funds donated…we also raised awareness to the needs of education in Haiti.  There were conversations and insight shared that brought to light the work being done at A New Arrival Center-Primary School. To continue the work, please consider sponsoring a student!  Check out Kozefò at kozefo.org for more information. School begins on September 6th…planning to open a third classroom this fall!
