My awesome shirt designed by Shannon!

My artwork by Shannon in my office!

Do you remember having pen pals in school? I remember writing to a "stranger" about what was going on in my life, what we were learning about in school and sending silly little things in the mail to my pen pal.

I managed to gain a really awesome one as an adult and her name is Shannon Kelley. I purchased some of her awesome items on her website Go Be Love. She generously gave The Real Haiti a coupon code to purchase her items. Please go check them out :)

About Go Be Love (by Shannon Kelley)
Go Be Love is a store by Shannon Kelley, a girl living in Haiti. I could tell you that I'm a missionary, humanitarian, photographer, expat-because all of those are true. But the reality is I'm just a girl living in Haiti-striving to go be love.

I grew up traveling alot with my parents as they worked with organizations overseas. These products in this little store are things that I would have loved to have as I traveled or developed a heart for going to be love. Hopefully they will inspire you to be love wherever you may be.

Each purchase directly impacts our work here in Haiti. Thank you for being love!

COUPON CODE: realhaiti20

What does "made in Haiti" mean to you?

To me, I feel as though Haiti is a person who I am madly in love with, who I am proud of and who I can't wait to see. I think about Haiti morning, noon and night. My love for Haiti grows more and more each day. I know...it sounds crazy...it is crazy! I am a blan who grew up hearing nothing but negative things about the country. How could I possibly be so in love with this country?

As I do every morning, I go through Haitian news and see what is going on for the day. Today, I got to see part two of the special on the update from the earthquake on Local 10 News in Miami. Part one will just about tear your heart out and make you absolutely nuts over the negativity they are focusing on when it is just a small part. But, just like in Haiti, everything is a drastic extreme - one side of the street there are people working to survive and on the other, there are the richest of the rich. It's reality...it's Haiti.

Here's a wonderful story on the progress and hope everyone (especially Haitians) has!

To me, "made in Haiti" means life, hope and progress. To see people live life every day, go to work, take care of their family, be in love, is what I love most about Haiti. That is why I have this blog. Finally, the news media is giving Haiti a chance. Thank you WPLG for showing this side of Haiti that so many of us are proud of!
