It has made my first year at Vassar so much more enriching and stimulating than I had anticipated. Not only does it allow me to work with delightful people like Lila, Fiona and Charlene, but it also teaches me a tremendous amount about how much of a difference a group of motivated, well-spirited people can make from miles away.<\/p>\n<p>The cause is innovative and unique &#8211; to buy Haitian art, resell it and use the profits to help the people of Haiti. This is a two fold profit, as Haitian artists can showcase their talent in the United States, and funds can be raised to improve the lives of the people in Cher Maitre. <\/p>\n<p>I am learning a great deal through the project: Creol, the skill of stretching paintings and how to design posters, to name a few.
