Open Your Heart to Haiti Today

"Open your heart to Haiti today!" is a fundraiser that artist and author Ananda Leeke www.anandaleeke.com launched in January 2011 to raise money for Renewal 4 Haiti - renewal4haiti.org - a 501(c)(3) grassroots nonprofit organization founded by Haitians committed to bringing medical care and skills training to Léogâne, the epicenter of the Haitian earthquake in 2010. She was inspired to launch this fundraiser while serving as an ambassador for the Heart of Haiti campaign - twitter.com/heartofhaiti - a “Trade not Aid” partnership between Macy's, Fairwinds Trading, and BrandAid. The fundraiser allows her to use her original artwork from her novel Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One (amzn.to/gssVnh) on Cafe Press t-shirts, cups, and other apparel to raise money for Renewal 4 Haiti. The artwork is a drawing of the Haitian love and healing goddess Erzulie's veve, a symbol used during Vodun ceremonies. All proceeds from the sales of Cafe Press items will be given to Renewal 4 Haiti.
