The Green Family Foundation acted promptly after Haiti's 2010 earthquake struck. Within days we began working with actor and director Fisher Stevens on a Public Service Announcement (PSA) campaign to encourage support for and donations to the Haitian people.  “This is Haiti” features readings of Haiti-inspired prose delivered by Sting, Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts. Proceeds benefited Partners in Health via the Clinton Foundation.

The PSAs, each 60 seconds long can be downloaded for free by clicking on the hyperlink below:

GFF encourages radio stations of all formats and across all cities, states and countries to download and broadcast the PSA within their regular spot rotations.

The foundation gives its heartfelt appreciation to Alan Lomax Archives/Association for Cultural Equity, The Magic Shop and MultiVu.

In response to the crisis in Haiti, the Green Family Foundation has created this special website: www.thehaiticompanion.com
