Carol Metellus, Artist, Activist; & project Co-Director & Campaign Coordinator Patrice Mallard: "The Partnership for a Sustainable Haiti" formed immediately after the devastating earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. PFSH efforts resemble the fable of stone soup- even when no one has enough to eat, if everyone contributes what little they can, it feeds a village. Organizers felt compelled to act- to volunteer whatever skills they have and the resources they can mobilize and hope others will help too.Visit http://www.partnershipforasustainablehaiti.org/Taneshia Campbell’s Sankofa Mizizi (A Love healing herstory) is a theater movement piece exploring the experience of mental health and spirituality in my family; grounded in a love story.
