Oganizasyon Fanm Pwogresiv Fondwa
I visited with the Women's Progressive Organization of Fondwa last week in rural Haiti. The group has been around since 2001 supporting each other in various ways, surviving and resisting oppression in Haiti. Unfortunately, they lost their building in the earthquake where they had been making peanut butter from peanuts grown in Fondwa. They want to get back to work but can't because they have no place to do it! Here they are singing a song to open their meeting. If you happen to have any ideas or resources toward this end, please let me know.
