Indie Music for Haiti: A New Outlet to Help Those in Need

As I’m sure all of you know, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti earlier this year.

Millions donated money, time, and energy to help those in need, however as with any international crisis the dedication to alleviating the problem wanes shortly after the cameras leave.

Even worse, Haiti was the poorest nation in our hemisphere long before the earthquake destroyed much of it’s existing infrastructure. What is needed now, more than ever, is time, patience, and dedication to helping millions of Haitians rebuild their country.

In this spirit, ServInt, in partnership with Asparagus Media and Simple Station, is proud to be involved with IndieMusicforHaiti.com.

IndieMusicforHaiti.com allows musicians from all over the world to upload their music videos to help keep attention on supporting Haiti. Artists of all genres and styles are encouraged to upload their work, and all we ask in return is that you point users to a charity of your choice that will help those affected by the earthquake.

This week, we’ll be posting blog posts from Fritz Stolzenbach and Stuart Bowen of Asparagus Media and Simple Station, respectively. They’ll be offering their insights into the goings on behind Indie Music for Haiti from both a logistical level, as well as a technological level.

I’ll also be posting a two part series of interviews I conducted with James “Jimmy” Felter, the founder of Vwa Ayiti International (Voice of Haiti). Vwa Ayiti is an incredible organization that has been on the ground in Haiti for years helping to provide some of the basic aid that is so sorely needed in a country with very little modern infrastructure. The interview is enlightening and really helps bring home a lot of what is happening in Haiti day to day.

Thanks for your support, and stay tuned for some terrific updates!
