Item Description

Handcut Iron Sculpture from Haiti

Although many of us would not even know where to begin to help the population of a country with 98% deforestation, 70% illiteracy, and 50% unemployment, Andrew Meade reviewed possible options eight years ago and established the Vassar Haiti Project. Since 2001, the project has raised over $400,000 - through various efforts including the annual Haitian Art Sale and Auction at Vassar - and built a seven-room school in Chermaitre, a small village situated in the mountains of rural northwest Haiti outside the city of Gros Morne.
