Driving Directions

The Sullivan's hope sharing their love of Haiti and its people will encourage others to become interested in this impoverished but culturally rich nation.
 
With the Sullivan’s extensive collection of Haitian art as a background, the conversation will include a discussion of Haitian art and culture led by Toni Monnin who has operated Monnin Art Gallery in Haiti for the last 40 years. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet James Duracin, Executive Director of Voix et Actions, who is visiting from Haiti.   Mr. Duracin will speak about the programs of his organization that seek to provide the men and women of Haiti the means to improve their lives.   Rappahannock’s own John O'Malley Burns of Goat Hill Farm, who grew up in Haiti during the 50s, returned and worked there for 22 years, as an agricultural development agent, will also be present to share his experience.

Beverages and light refreshments will be provided.  Voices and Actions for Haiti is a Program of United Charitable, a 501(c)3 organization that seeks to help the people in Haiti build a future for themselves and their families.  Learn more at www.voicesandactionsforhaiti.com
