Hello friends, I’m sure by now you have all heard about the devastating earthquake in Port Au Prince, Haiti. Our hearts are breaking for the people there.

In September of 2008 we had the distinct pleasure of partnering with Humanitarians Initiating Progress in Haiti in order to help them tell the story of Haiti and HIPH’s work there.

The incredible women we went down there with (who founded and run HIPH) landed in Haiti the day before the quake, but thankfully made it to the north of the country before the quake hit. We have heard from them and they are fine. However we have another dear friend who went with us on that first trip in 08, who fell in love with the country and people, and who has gone back and forth to serve them ever since. He was in Port Au Prince when the quake hit, and we have not heard from him. Please keep him, and all of the people of Haiti, in your prayers as we wait to see what develops.

Love love love, The Bedouins

From our first trip to Haiti…

Last year Bedouins International traveled to Haiti with HIPH to cover the story of the people there, the poverty and the vanilla bean project, HIPH’s possible solution to the situation in Haiti. Well a few days ago a package came in the mail for us and it was this quarter’s Relevant Neue, the magazine’s quarterly book-zine. Right in the middle of the magazine was our story on Haiti, HIPH and the photos that we shot! It’s always exciting to see causes we’ve worked with getting good exposure and benefiting from the Media that we’ve provided them (I mean, that’s the point right?!). HIPH is doing great things are this article is another example of the doors that have been opening up for them as a result of their dedication to the cause and the people of Haiti. Cheers to HIPH!

I updated the main website over the weekend with some new content for you guys. Check out the “Partnerships” section to find projects we’ve recently completed for Time Square Church, Benei Aor, Casa Hoga MAMI and HIPH. We’ve also updated the “Purpose” section with some more current stuff. Go Check it out.
Also, check out the Caribbean Gold site to find out what’s going currently with that project. We now have 10 photos available for purchase in limited editions. Check it out, maybe even buy one of those beautiful prints.
So that’s a little taste for you of the exciting things going on in the world that is Bedouins International.
