#HeartofHaiti Blogger Ambassador Ananda Leeke's Art Tour of Hotel Oloffson in Port-au-Prince Haiti

Watch Heart of Haiti blogger ambassador Ananda Leeke, a lawyer-turned author, artist, coach, yoga teacher, and innerpreneur, give a tour of the Hotel Oloffson, the first hotel she stayed in with her fellow Heart of Haiti "tripsters" in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on February 27, 2011. The video features Haitian artwork including a Voodoo flag with the Haitian goddess of love Erzulie's veve.

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.
