100% of Poetry Art purchases made from this website (WWW.Poetryart.net) as well as gallery wholesale purchases and reorders in February and March (and already January)
will be donated to aid the vulnerable people of Haiti.

We (Global Impact) plan a vision/outreach and assessment trip to Haiti
in the upcoming months.

The disaster relief that is happening right now is the first wave,
which is providing people with the essentials to sustain life.
When the major relief organizations leave or pare
down their staff (and they will, they are set up to be first
responders to each cataclysmic occurrence,) then we will go in.

My heart aches for the children, the multitudes of orphans that are being
left to fend for themselves. We will definitely bring relief,
Joy Bags and other tangible aid,
but will be looking to see the possibility of doing a
long term work, as we did in
Gujarat, India, after the earthquake there.
(We build a school.)

So...if you have thought about ordering a print,
card, book and have been putting it off,
here's a good reason to do it fairly soon!
