I have just donated this small drawing to the Haitian Art Relief Fund’s “Artits for Artists in Distress”.  The fund aims to support Haitian artists affected by the January 12th earthquake.  The donated works will be shown at ArteAmericas. The fund is being administered the Haitian Cultural Arts Alliance (HCAA), a 501© 3 not-for-profit organization operating in Miami since 1994.

I highly recommend professionally-run organizations like Food for the Poor, Lambi Fund of Haiti and Doctors without Borders(Medecins sans Frontieres).  Celebrity-run are well-meaning but are amateur, to say the least.
