Postcard featuring 'hand of God in nature', 2023 by 'Keke' Liketi Benoit, born Oct. 2001

Keke is a senior student at Progression Society Art School in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, under the mentorship of artist Rony Elistene.

I have been helping raise funds for the school since March 2024, when viol3nce and chaos erupted in the capital, the previous school house was looted, burned and rendered useless. With the help of many, we've been able to help Elistene secure a year's rent in a safer neighbourhood. The school still needs further funds to purchase many things lost in the fire such as, chairs, tables and art supplies.

Previous to the unrest earlier this year, Elistene also was using funds to help feed the students. There is an expanded state of emergency for the entire terriftory of Haiti and food security is an even bigger problem than before. Any amount can help this small community of artists/students and their families.

If you are interested in purchasing original art by the students of Progression Society Art School, please get in touch with Elistene at one of his two instagram accounts: @RonyArt73 & @ProgressionSocietyArtSchool
