Haiti Tee featured on queeried


Through my facebook page for the Haiti Tee, Michelle Penny contacted me through the wall about posting my tee on her website. Therefore I directed myself to her website, and saw pictures of the Haiti Tees and a rather kind description:

Sometimes you can think that compassion and love in the world has died but when you see people come together to help people they don’t even know following the earthquake in Haiti it really does restore your faith in humankind.

And that help has come in so many different formats – the Hope For Haiti concert being one of the biggest, alongside the Haiti Everybody Hurts single in the UK and the We Are The World 25 track in the US.

But there are also some incredible things being done at grassroots levels, such as the “We Shall Love Again” t-shirt produced by Edward Chiu. Simple but very effective, these tees feature a simple image of a brick wall with the words “We shall love again” written across it and are currently being sold for £10 each with ALL profits going directly to the Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Appeal.


Available to buy in a range of stores across London, including Wholesome in Shoreditch and no-one in Kingsland Road, this tee can also be ordered internationally by getting in touch with Edward Chiu direct.

SOLD OUT !

After 3 days since I began to sell the tees (upon ordering from the manufacture), I've managed to sell all the 25 tees at one go. I'm really grateful to all the people who have bought the tee and this led me to think it could become my project matter as its been so successful.

Facebook Group

I've started this facebook group (20/1/10) before the project has started. Little did I know, that this could be my project itself. When I saw alot of brands out there are contributing to the Haiti effort, I thought I could do the same with my powers. After a few research into the issue, I found it is actually quite easy and cheap to produce T-shirts at a low cost. Therefore I set myself a target on selling 25 tees as anything more, it would cost a lot (not in promotion).

Group Description:

Haiti was hit by a second earthquake this morning (measuring 6.1) as the country reels from the devastating 7.0 earthquake only eight days ago. Last week’s quake killed an estimated 200,000 people, left 250,000 injured and made 1.5 million people homeless.

Having seen many brands out there creating Charity Tees for this disaster, I thought I'll contribute to the effort as well.
The graphic I'll be using is a shot from Google Map which I found last week. I think the image speaks for itself, so I hope you guys will climb on board and contribute to the cause.
The tee should cost £2.50 to make, but it'll be £10 to purchase. Therefore £7.50 will go straight to the Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Appeal.
