Last month my friend, Scott Hancock (from www.thecrstudio.com) invited me to go to Haiti and the Domincan Republic with him on a trip to help rebrand one of the firm’s clients, Sundance Organics. The mission was to document the efforts of Sundance’s philanthropic division, *Plant With Purpose*, whose objective is to help people in developing countries restore productivity to their land and reverse deforestation. (www.plantwithpurpose.org)
There are so many people in need in this world. I have witnessed crushing poverty and human suffering in many places. I think that as American’s it’s hard to know where to give and when to help. Having witnessed firsthand the effect that *Plant With Purpose* is having to alleviate suffering and give hope to families, I can wholeheartedly endorse them as a charity. They are good people who are making a difference in this world.
Also, as consumers, we have power to endorse companies whenever we buy their products. Our family will be supporting Sundance Organics whenever we see them in the stores. Their *Buy 1/ Grow 1* program has a very tangible outcome that will help many needy people in developing countries.
Thanks for sharing this journey with me!
