A Night Of Hope


We had A Night Of Hope at Concordia dedicated to Haiti...where people shared their gifts and talents through art, music, literature and poetry to inspire hope. While that was going on, Concordia students and friends had the opportunity to give free-will offerings and donations to help the people in Haiti. 

I had the honor and privilege  of donating my drawing, titled: "Hope", that I had done especially for the benefit of Haiti...


This is a picture I took with the student donor who got herself the original Senzy drawing titled: "hope"!!! She loved it!! And most of all...her donation will feed many in Haiti!!

For Haiti


This one is my response to the January 2010 Haiti earthquake. 
It's an image of a young boy whose face is injured...portraying the hurt, the pain, the loss, the suffering and sense of hopelessness that comes at a time and situation as this.
I clothed him in white bandages and white garments...the color of piece and hope.
So, even though there is pain, there is hope.
And as we respond with care to the people of Haiti, we bring hope in a hopeless situation.

"For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me."
(Matthew 25: 35-36)
