Haiti, the earth that died screaming

An evening of visual art, music and awareness.

Photographs by Pep Bonet
Music by José Bautista

On Tuesday 12 January 2010, a catastrophic magnitude 7.0M earthquake hit the island of Haiti. The earthquake killed more than 230.000 people, injured 300.000 and left 1 million homeless.

Pep Bonet went to Haiti on assignment for ‘Gift of the Givers Foundation, to document the dramatic situation that Haitians are facing right now. Pep was part of the 53 member Search and Rescue, Medical and Media Team that accompanied Gift of the Givers to Haiti.

Haiti is in ruins, emotionally, physically, economically with a total lack of infrastructure but STILL has its spirit. Our brothers and sisters are in a terrible situation in Haiti but they haven’t given up hope or their faith in humankind.

We thank you for making that HOPE a REALITY.

After the show we will be running a charity auction that includes two signed original photographs donated by Pep Bonet. All proceeds generated by the auction will go to the Gift Of The Givers Foundation in support of their work in Haiti.

The Gift of the Givers Foundation is the largest disaster relief organization of African origin on the African continent. They have delivered over R360 million in aid to 27 countries around the world.

Their assistance is purely humanitarian and unconditional, irrespective of race, religion, colour, class, political affiliation or geographical boundary. They have received 48 awards to date.
