HAITI

Just a few months ago, Majora spoke with Wyclef Jean about his work in his home country of Haiti. Now with the earthquake, this work is more important than ever – and he and many others are working hard to see that relief finds its way to the shores to alleviate some of the suffering in Haiti.

Everywhere there’s news of the devastation in Haiti after the 7.0 earthquake hit. It’s been less than a week since, and with aftershocks continuing to shake, it’s just as important to give what you can.

It’s a mural! And it’s called “YES SHE CAN…” – and it’s beautiful!

We were pretty excited this morning to take a little mini photo essay on it — we love seeing it peeking out above the buildings full of sunshine, inspiration and positivity!

Come by and take a look (here’s a link to the map so you can see where it’s located)! Many thanks to Groundswell for developing this project with us. We’re aiming to develop a series of these beautiful murals, so keep your eyes peeled.

The official ceremony is on November 24th…check in here closer to the date and be sure to check out updates on Twitter to get all the latest news!
