Faith/Works Global Gallery
FAITH/WORKS GLOBAL GALLERY
My friends Jeff & Beth Rogers inspire me. They allow their convictions the liberty of leading them even when it means taking significant risks and making big sacrifices.
They left their life in the US and moved to Haiti with Beyond Borders several years ago. I had the good fortune of getting to know them as they decided to do some language learning with Haitian families in my neighborhood. Jeff stayed with neighbors Rosias and Chantal. Beth stayed with the Talamas family. There are no English speakers in these families. Moving in with a family who speaks a different language, in a setting where there is no running water and rarely electricity, in a community with an abundance of hungry people, is no easy task. Why would middle-age established Americans do something like this? You'll have to ask Jeff and Beth. They have an amazing story and I feel privileged to have crossed paths with them.
Since their return to the US, they've been up to something new. They've created Faith/Works Global Gallery, which brings beautiful handmade items from around the world into the homes of Americans. And in so doing, they are providing meaningful work to countless artists and crafts people, many of them Haitians. And if that's not enough, they're making it possible for nonprofit organizations they believe in to also benefit from this initiative. When you go to TheExperiment.info and click on the link to their site--you'll see it--The Experiment automatically receives 10% of your purchase.
Beth and Jeff, thank you! In addition to inspiring people like me, you help countless people who are desperately poor by providing them with meaningful work. And, you do it in a way that supports nonprofits that are cultivating social change. Hats off to you! Thank you for your example.
