Join us on Saturday afternoon in welcoming Jane Wynne, of Wynne Farms in Haiti. She'll discuss her work with women who are replanting their landscapes and restoring their communities. We'll explore possible collaborations and connections...and how we can help rebuild.
 
There will be activities for the whole family:

*  Card making: our personalized messages of hope will be hand-delivered to the Women Who Plant 


* A Water Walk, which simulates the typical distance a Haitian woman travels to gather water for her family


 * A demo model of a shelter made by Barrels of Hope for Haiti, a collaborative effort to provide rain barrels filled with emergency shelter supplies to earthquake victims

  * A "Taste of Haiti" featuring light fare from local restaurants

  * Music and Games

  * A slideshow of photos from Gainesville residents who have recently traveled to Haiti


The event will end with the screening of the film "Bound by Haiti," a gripping 45-minute documentary by Jon Bougher and Roman Safiullin, who lived and filmed through the recent earthquake that devastated Haiti. Jon Bougher will be on hand for Q&A.
