I'm currently gearing up for a trip to Haiti this summer to do digital Storytelling with children who have been the victims of Trauma there. Our plan is to work on several locations with other artists who have come to conduct therapeutic arts projects for these kids. Right now it looks like I'll be splitting my time between the orphanage and the elementary school.
Even under the best of circumstances life is hard in Haiti. Haiti's infrastructure has never been great and now after the devastating earthquake, things will probably not turn around quickly.
BuildaBridge International, the group that I'm going with endeavors to bring artists into situations like these to help people find hope and healing through the arts.
I'm hoping that by letting people tell their stories that they will express the small signs of hope that they see around them, and that as they change this Narrative in their lives that they will take another step on the path towards healing.
