MISSION - WHAT WE DO
Our Mission is to provide educational supplies, such as Books backpacks, school uniforms and educational scholarships. Thereby enhancing their access to basic educational needs, to schools and organizations in Haiti. For the past 8 years we have been flying to Haiti to take the school supplies and food to Orphan children. For the past 2 years others have joined us on this MISSION. As People learn about our foundation they are eager to assist with our mission. With the help of other, we be able to continue our mission and look forward to opening a vocational training center in HAITI, to teach ART, photography and multimedia.

world where every child would be able to reach their potential
SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
Michael’s work in helping people began as a natural part of his photo-documentary work with National Geographic. By assisting others and living with them wherever he took his camera, he developed a body of insightful photographic work, in educational photo journalism, which gained wide distribution and professional notice. This recognition earned him a very meaningful personal honor as well, when he received the keys to the city by the mayor in his home town of Port Allen, Louisiana, on Nov. 14, 2000. For the next 16 years the framework of sponsorship funding to supply educational resources to trade for first hand knowledge with people from around the world, resulted in a series of documentaries and research projects of depth and unique perception. This effort to learn, and document the story of people, from our 80,000 year old oral, archaeological and anthropological history, eventually led to a project in Haiti soon after the quake in 2010. The partnerships in education which resulted from further visits to that island, resulted in opportunities in educational advancement for all the schools he was able to assist. It became evident that in order to sustain these achievements and continue to apply them around the world beyond the ability of documentary funding, a foundation, dedicated to that mission and able to apply those principles must be formed.
