Haiti Relief Benefit Print Sale
By Jacob Langvad Nilsson (email) — February 1st, 2010
On Tuesday, January 12th, 2010, a massive, 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti near the capital of Port-au-Prince. The damage to buildings is extensive. The confirmed death toll from Haiti’s devastating earthquake has risen above 150,000 in the Port-au-Prince area alone, while an estimated 1.5 million people have been left homeless.
As a global nation, we have all been profoundly horrified by the devasting earthquake and by the news and images that comes out of Haiti. Now is the time to stand together and act collectively. In a country where 80% of the population lives on less than $2 dollars a day, each of us can find ways of helping the Haitians tremendously. Already, the world community has gathered significant sums of money for aid, which amid some delay are helping immensely. Aid agencies say Haiti is quite simply one of the worst disasters they have ever handled.
One of the main challenges now for the medias, and anyone with influence, is to make sure to keep the catastrophy and rebuilding of Haiti frontpage news. Not just for a week or a month, but for as long as it takes, until the situation is healthy and stable. Just like as in the case of the war in Dafur and Hurricane Katrina, it is important to keep it part of the collective consciousness for as long as it takes to rebuild.
It is important to understand that each of us can contribute with a little effort or creativity. This is why we’ve decided to donate a portrait of Danish director, journalist, poet, and friend, Jørgen Leth in order to collect money for the aid organization Hope For Haiti Now. Mr. Leth, 72, has lived in Haiti for the last 20 years and has a profound relationship to the ill-fated country. His old house in Jacmel collapsed and was completely destroyed by the quake. He made it out alive by chance, but has lost everything. He is now in the Dominican Republic and it is with his blessing we are conducting this relief benefit print sale.
In an effort to raise money for Haiti, we’re am printing a limited, special edition of Jacob Langvad Nilsson‘s portrait of Jørgen Leth, photographed in Jacmel, Haiti in 2002. The C-type Prints measures 20 x 24 inches (50 x 60 cm). Each print costs USD 250,00 including international shipping.
The complete revenue will be donated to the organization Hope For Haiti Now.
Donations to Hope For Haiti Now will support a wide range of relief activities in Haiti, from emergency food and clean water to medical supplies and basic health care. 100 percent of all donations to Hope For Haiti Now will go directly to relief organizations operating on the ground in Haiti. No administrative costs or other program expenses are charged by Hope for Haiti Now. Donations made to Hope for Haiti Now will benefit these nonprofit organizations to provide Haiti earthquake relief: The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, United Nations World Food Programme, Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Stay With Haiti, Red Cross, UNICEF and Yéle Haiti Foundation.

Brazil is the Worlds New Economic Superpower
By Jacob Langvad Nilsson (email) — December 1st, 2009
Brazil, which is blessed with an impressive amount of natural resources and workforce, is fast developing as a global player in the world economic circle. However, its spectacular rise in the past few years as an emerging economic superpower is not sudden. It is the results of continuous reformations. Just few years ago, Brazil was considered to be a country of soccer, samba and rainforest. But after the international financial crisis, there came a sudden change in this popular perception. Global community begins to treat it at par with India and China, who are ushering a tectonic shift in the current global economic system. (more…)
