Because I have a lot going on this year, I had to turn down an invitation to go back to Haiti and work with Habitat for Humanity International at the Santos community they are building. But I was able to contribute artwork for Women Build t-shirts again...
...as well as new artwork for the Cars For Homes donation program.
Both Women Build and Cars for Homes sponsored houses in Haiti, and the teams can be seen sporting my shirts in these photos and video (link below).
Here, you can see the Cars For Homes artwork on a poster on the house, and many of the team members are sporting their Women Build t-shirts
Below, Cars for Homes team members in the green shirts on the right... Mrs. Carter in the center (white hat) sporting her Women Build t-shirt. She was instrumental in founding Women Build in the beginning.
I am posting these to show how proud I am to have Stone Soup associated with Habitat, and with the community being built in Haiti. In the following YouTube video produced by Cars for Homes Team Member Jesse Beauregard, you can clearly see the need in Haiti... but also the village that we began constructing last year and how it has literally blossomed. I dare you not to shed a tear or two.
As the old year comes to a close, and the new year begins, I hope you all find ways to use your talents to bolster your chosen charities and causes. A pair of willing hands can make a huge difference in the world, and you'll wonder how blisters could feel so good.
You know I'm waiting for the "Evie grabs life by the horns" collection to come out ...
(Meanwhile, even the three-dimensional booster of all this is doing a pretty good job!)

Just for the blog, and my strip of course. And I dont write for the blog nearly often enough. But life is full of other things to do!
