Quilting for Peace in Haiti

After writing my last post I decided to Google "quilting Haiti" and immediately found a link to Peacequilts.  According to its website, this organization works to relieve poverty in Haiti by establishing and supporting women's quilting cooperatives. Members of Peacequilts were literally at the airport getting ready to board a plane to Haiti when the earthquake struck and the flight was cancelled. On the Peacequilts website you can learn more about what is happening in Haiti right now and how you can support Haitians by getting involved in their efforts (including sending donations, fundraising, and/or purchasing beautiful quilts made by the women of Haiti.)

interesting post. i was curious what organizations were there before the earthquake and how their efforts would be affected now. I love the idea of womens cooperatives in Haiti, and now with so much prayer and strength behind their people. Thank you for sharing.
