Sammy on the top and Jean Remy are brothers. When Sammy was 7 and Jean Remy was 6 they were brought to an orphanage in Port au Prince because their parents could not take care of them. It was operated by Catholic sisters and the boys remember all of their names . When they were 12 they were put out on the street and there they survived until they worked their way to Cayes . Their sister introduced them to Father Marc three years ago and they have been there since. Their talent was discovered and they have been making crafts and a lot of the articles on the blog are their creations. Here Sammy is cutting out stars with a hammer and chisel ( I think). Not too easy to do. Jean Remy is making a star three dimensional. Sammy is now 19 and Jean Remy 18.

konnyskorner@gmail.com During my trips to Haiti I have met many talented artists and craftsmen. Their products are exceptional and of varied design but the economic situation here in Haiti doesn't support a market for them. Those of you interested in owning some items I will post photos and descriptions along with a price list. E-mail me at konnyskorner@gmail.com with your order and I will ship them to you. A small postage fee will be added; the rest goes to Pwoje Espwa. www.freethekids.org
