In traditional Taiwanese culture, the sky-lantern is a message of peace. Lanterns were sent aloft that loved ones might know everything was OK, that life continued in the wake of disaster. Following this custom, interactive performance artist Chin Chih Yang wishes you to rally around him in show of your support for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Imagine thousands of lanterns ascending the sky, illuminating the prospect of a world where life has triumphed over death, where warmth and humanity outmatch hopelessness and indifference! Join us in our cause to strengthen the Haitian people in their time of need. You can make donations, or simply walk with us, showing your support for Haiti at this moment of crisis.
