The Road to Fondwa

Usually I write about freelancing and marketing,
which I enjoy... but today I have something
AWESOME for you.

Have you ever wondered what goes on beyond
the view of news cameras?

How people in poor settings, or war zones,
or massive floods actually perceive their
situation... and how they deal with it from
day to day?

For 6 years I've had the privilege of learning
from the people of Fondwa, Haiti about their
lives, their language, and their culture.

I have been so inspired by the efforts they
have undertaken to improve their own
conditions, that I wanted to share their
story with people like you... people who are
interested, engaged, informed... but don't
necessarily have access to the real story.

But even after all this time... I'm still a
'beginner.'

So rather than tell the story myself... I
asked the people of Fondwa to do it for me:

After two years of production, many trials
and tribulations, and the superhuman effort
of many friends and family members, the
result is "The Road to Fondwa," a documentary
film that takes you inside the struggle of a
rural Haitian village from the perspective
of the peasants, teachers, students, mothers,
and children of Fondwa.

Call me biased, but I think the story is
extraordinary.  In just 40 minutes, you'll
see...

   * The peasant association that has planted
more than 500,000 trees over 20 years

   * The humble priest who built a microcredit
bank that has provided over 70,000 women with
access to credit

   * The students of Haiti's first rural
university and their dreams for the future

   * The struggle of women who take on
overwhelming responsibilities with no resources
to back them up

   * The contrast between rural and urban
poverty, and why rural communities hold so
much hope for Haiti


For people who can't travel to Haiti, or any
other developing nation for that matter,
this film is a unique chance to hear people
speak about the great challenges we face from
a painfully personal perspective.

And yet, for all the negative press exposure
and daunting challenges faced by Haiti... you
will be *shocked* not by violence, not by gore...
but by the unmistakable sense of hope transmitted
by the people you meet.
