Hello,
I hope you are able to help me further! On Youtube I saw a videos you made about the Galerie l´art of Mr. Francois Sanon.
I´m living in Germany and I have some questions to Mr. Sanon about a sculpture I bought here in Germany some time ago.
I already called him by phone, but the problem is, that he only speaks French and no English.
So we couldn´t communicate by phone. I would try to send him an e-mail with some photos of the sculpture I bought, so that he can see it.
Do you have an idea how I can reach him by mail?
It would be really nice if you could help me further!
Best regards and greetings from Germany
Ralf

When I opened this blog comment, I felt excited, amazed, shocked, and so far apart but connected.  A man who bought a beautiful sculpture in Germany now has a face to the artist who made it, Francois Sanon, a tiny rasta artist in the mountains in Haiti.  I never imagined that this video I posted about Sanon would help make an international connection. 

I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed by Pierre of CIUT 89.5FM in Canada! The interview was on Aug. 11 and a coy of the show is above. Pierre asked wonderful questions and really wanted to learn about The Real Haiti and what inspires me. The whole crew was extremely professional and everything ran smoothly. CIUT, I appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!! You guys rock! THANK YOU, MESI ANPIL!!!!!!!!!!

Some people ask me why I have The Real Haiti. Some tell me to open my eyes, that I am being taken advantage of by offering too much info/resources. Some ask me how will I ever make money. 

Going to Haiti is always an experience to learn, appreciate and envy for me. I learn that what I used to think is untrue. I appreciate things that I have/grew up with. I envy the simple life, the culture and the family bonds that Haitians have. All of these experiences have changed me as a person....for the better.

I don't do this to get ahead, to impress anyone or to get rich. I experience things unbelievable to my previous judgements of a country misrepresented. I do it to educate others. I do it so that my children one day will have an archive of info different to the ones they will see on TV.

Here are some of my favorite moments in Haiti...
