Watch Ananda Leeke, a lawyer-turned author, artist, coach, yoga teacher, and innerpreneur, talk about why she traveled to Jacmel, Haiti as a Heart of Haiti blogger ambassador. She shares how powerful the people of Haiti are and have always been. Their hope, creativity, and resiliency inspire her.
The Heart of Haiti campaign is a partnership between Fairwinds Trading, Macy's, and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. It was created to provide sustainable income to Haitian artisans impacted by the January 2010 earthquake. Through the partnership, the artisans create artwork that is sold as the Heart of Haiti collection in Macy's stores. The sales from these hand-made products including quilts, metalwork, paper måché, painting and jewelry generate the sustainable income and provide trade instead of aid to the Haitian artisans.
