Art Halperin, an award-winning songwriter,
singer, composer, producer and artist, has had a long connection with Haiti and the Caribbean for over 25 years. His
wife, Nadeje, was born and raised in Port-au-Prince and came to the United States in 1978. Due to their very personal
connection to Haiti and because they still have many family members and friends there, the Halperins are putting to work all
their talents and resources to raise much-needed funds to help the devastated people of Haiti. All donations, which
are tax-deductible, will go to the “Stand with Haiti” initiative of Partners in Health, a registered nonprofit
organization affiliated with Harvard Medical School, that has since 1983 provided relief to Haiti through medicine and trained
medical staff.
