Nathan Weber returned safely from Haiti yesterday, and is starting the process of making a larger image edit, most of which will be available here in the near future.
Vellum works with a lot of news publications in its news coverage, but we were happy to find that many non-profit organizations have been able to find a use for Nathan’s images over the past week in their own fund raising efforts for Haiti. It means a lot to us to have been able to not only help with our images, but to also have the opportunity to take it a step further, and make a direct financial contribution as a business. As promised, Vellum will be donating $10 from every image sale to the Red Cross to help in the recovery. Additionally, Vellum will be making a contribution to the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission, a group that has had an exceptional team of people working in Haiti for several decades. We encourage you to visit their site, and support their work.
Another moment that has really meant a lot to us at Vellum was a recent email from someone telling us that they would be making their own donation to the Haiti relief effort, as a result of Nathan’s work in the country. Here is an excerpt from that email:
“Okay, so i’m not so much for having the images of devastation and death hanging around my house….
BUT, I love that Vellum’s donating a percentage of the income from your Haiti work to charity…
SO, I’ve donated $500.00 to the Haitian Relief Fund at the Clinton Foundation in honor of the work you’re doing there now.”
Again, we wish to thank everyone, deeply, for their support and for following Nathan’s work in the country.
