What Others Are Saying
-
Edouard Duval Carrié, Artist/Director of the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance (HCAA)
"Haiti is my birthplace and since it's inception as the first black republic it has been isolated and shunned. Like an accident prone child, that small caribbean nation has seen it's share of calamities, both manmade and natural. The latest was a devastating earthquake that left her crippled. Many have felt the need to come to her aid, and the Green Family Foundation's efforts are most commendable, especially their president Kimberly Green. Devoting most of her time on-site there, I'm particularly impressed with the array of her interests. Yes, most of the foundation's interest is directed toward the imperious needs of the impaired, but what impressed me more was her efforts in the preservation of Haiti's culture and in it's promotion. That, to me, in the end, will hasten the healing process."
