Nigel Barker to Raise Money for Haiti
January 1, 2009 by Erin Balser
Nigel Barker is continuing his quest to make the world a better place. On January 8th, Nigel will present the photography exhibit Haiti: Hunger & Hope, which is a collection of photographs he shot during the May UN closure and food riots. The event is being held at the Milk Gallery in New York City and doors open at 7:30.
Proceeds from the event will go to Edeyo, an organization that works towards better food and education for children in Haiti.
The suggested donation is $25 and includes an open bar, live and silent auctions, special music guests in addition to admission to the exhibit.
Nigel has been an advocate for causes he believes in for a long time. He held another photography exhibit to raise money and awareness for the seal hunt and he used his birthday as an opportunity to raise funds for Haiti.
awwww…very nice gesture…I’ll try to attend if possible
Hi Nigel,
I was watching Mike and Juliet, which is not a show that I usually watch. However, I was delighted not only to see you but also for the fact that you mentioned Haiti. I am Haitian American, as you know, Haiti is one of the countries that seem to be invisible, although it is in America’s backyard.
Thank you for being one of the very few to take notice of what is going on and want to help. I belong to organization O.R.A.C.H.E.L ( Organisation Pour L’Avancement de Chevreau Lombard) which, is based in Irvington New Jersey. Chevreau Lombard is a small village in the Artibonite region. We are trying to help in anyway possible. Our gaol is to educate the the youth, in order to get them stay and help build their village. Please check out our website http://www.orachelhaiti.org. We are widely open to suggestion. We need all the help we can get.
Again, thank you for being one of the few who are trying to shine a light on Haiti.
Love and admiration,
Rodeline Paul
