You might have seen some coverage of Sean Penn and Demi Moore in St Damien in the Metro/Herald this week. Here are some more pics. She was there with Susan Sarandon and Ben Stiller and Olivia Wilde (Dr Hadley from 'House') and Gerard Butler (King Leonidas from 300) as part of a group from Artists for Peace and Justice who collaborate with NPH in Haiti.
I suppose it keeps Haiti in the public eye.
The documentary '100 dead people in my truck' which features Gena and Fr Rick has won a top award at the 46th Chicago International Film Festival. It will receive a Gold Plaque for best Social/Political Documentary at the 2010 Hugo Television Awards in Chicago this Thursday, April 15th. There is an article about it in the Mayo Today website - here.

Since our return we have all shared a hope and passion for Haiti and her people, keeping in contact with our friends and colleagues there and at home.
These past few days have shocked us all. We are so thankful for all those who are safe and well and continue to keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers.
Our Aims Are Simple
To help to keep the spirit of hope alive by offering support and encouragement to our friends and colleagues in Haiti
We wish to create a hub of communication between friends and colleagues with shared experiences working in Haiti
Background
Irish and International Aid Agencies have worked alongside many dedicated local people on sanitation, communication, health, education childcare and environmental / shelter programes.
The Irish have always been well represented working away quietly and diligently – with help of funds raised in various parishes, clubs, communities and private donations in Ireland.
