Hello all,
Just wanted to share a short video I put together about my Christmas in Haiti.  I was lucky enough to head down over the holidays with a non-profit group called Sante Fanm ak Lafanmi.  Right before we left we held a toy drive and raised enough money for more than 2,000 dolls, miniature cars, and other kinds of toys.  Once we were down there we went into a few churches and U.N. Relief Camps to give the toys out to children.  In the following video I got to play the role of Santa Claus (and I thought I was pretty good :)), something I will truly never forget.  Enjoy!

Sounds like the trip of a lifetime, Prof. Clutch.  As you know you were already near the top of my list of good guys...solidifying your position and raising my opinion even more,  with grace.  I look forward to your next adventure!  (No pressure, but the expectations grow...I expect great success to find you.)

Awesome stuff, PC ... you are an amazing guy and a person who gives from the heart ... I hold very few people in as high esteem. I know how enriching an experience it must have been for you, especially at Christmas ... seeing the faces of the children when they saw Santa made my eyes water a bit, because things are still so very bad down there, and especially for the children and orphans.

While we've already been trading experiences, I look forward to doing more of the same in the future, and maybe hooking up there this spring! Thank you so much for sharing this video ... it brought me back to a place and a people that I have fallen in love with, despite the devastation. God bless always, Buddy ... you are truly a great person! :)

Haha, thank you NG for your kind words and for checking the video.  The trip had it's ups and downs, but this was certainly one of the best, most rewarding parts.  TP.

That's really nice of you to say, I feel lucky that I was allowed to be involved in such a beautiful event.  I had some hesitation at first about certain things, including being Santa, but this event really turned out to be a life-altering experience for me.

All the credit goes to Boston based non-profit Sante Fanm ak Lafanmi who organized the trip and the events in their entirety.  Thanks again for watching the video and your kind words.  TP.
