January 12, 2010, Holy Trinity Cathedral in downtown Port Au Prince Haiti was destroyed by an earthquake. One year later, a youth orchestra rehearses in a shelter next to the ruined sanctuary. It is a sign of hope in Haiti.

Haiti: One Year After
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Carribean, Disaster, Education, Faith Based Production, Interesting Places, Peace and Justice, Tim Frakes Productions, Travel
The first days of 2011 find me returning to Haiti, exactly one year after the January 2010 earthquake that killed a reported 230,000 people and left tens of thousands more hurt and homeless. This trip, I will be working with a communications team from Church World Service. Church World Service works with partners in the U.S. and around the world to build interfaith and intercultural coalitions to eradicate hunger and poverty and promote peace and justice.
We plan to record footage for videos relating to sustainable development. It is a great honor to be asked to be part of this team. I believe that finding ways to address Haiti’s immediate and long term needs is important work.

Raise Your Voice

This is a music video in support of CROP Hunger Walks. Music by singer/songwriter K.C. Clifford. Following the January 2010 earthquakes in Haiti, I recorded footage that Church World Service used in this video. I even noticed a shot that Jim Quattrocki and I recorded in Tanzania more than a decade ago. Great to see this stuff put to good use!

Viva Rio, Help for Haiti
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Carribean, Disaster, Peace and Justice, Tim Frakes Productions
This is a video I shot in Port Au Prince two weeks after the January 12, 2010 earthquake. After Hurricane Tomas rolled through this November, I wonder what happened to the good folks at living in Viva Rio. Viva Rio is a Brazilian non-governmental organization working in Haiti since 2004. Viva Rio is a partner with Norwegian Church Aid, a member of the Act Alliance. Following the January 2010 earthquake in Port Au Prince, Viva Rio organized an emergency shelter community providing tents, water, social services and sanitation.

Religion and Ethics Weekly: Haiti
Posted by timfrakes | Filed under Carribean, Disaster
At the Haiti/Dominican Republic border, I ran into Gail Fendley a producer with Religion & Ethics Weekly on PBS. Gail and her crew were producing a story on relief work from the Dominican side of the border. We exchanged business cards and I was able to share footage I recorded in Haiti which they used in this story.
