Durham, NC - Lespwa Fe Viv (Hope Makes Us Live) performed "Le Monn Se Pa La Kay Mwen" and "When The Saints Go Marching In" during the Hope For Haiti benefit performance Feb. 5 in Page Auditorium.

 

Several groups participated in the performance and proceeds from the show will support the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and Hearts with Haiti, a Raleigh-based non-profit supporting the St. Joseph Family in Haiti.

 

Other performers included violinist Reginald Patterson, blues guitarist Toby Bonar and dance company Gaspard & Dancers.

In addition, a Haitian market sold crafts, artwork and sponsorships for Haitian school children.
