A Film Fundraiser For Haiti
Goal to raise $10,000 in ten days for community recovery efforts in Haiti

Architecture For Humanity Vancouver in collaboration with the Nobelity Project aim to raise $10,000 in ten days for Haiti relief efforts with a special screening of One Peace At A Time on Saturday, February 6, 2010 at Granville 7 Cinemas. 100 percent of the screening proceeds and donations collected between January 28 and February 6 will go to AFH's community recovery efforts in Haiti. The Vancouver screening is part of AFH’s international fundraising efforts to help provide immediate shelter and long-term reconstruction support in Haiti after the January 12th earthquake left much of the country’s vital infrastructure destroyed.

“Eighty percent of Haiti’s population lives in poverty–the combination of lack of resources and the most devastating quake in two hundred years demands everyone's help,” says Linus Lam, Executive Director of Architecture For Humanity Vancouver. “Our volunteer architects and designers are committed to providing support, and hope the subsequent reconstruction provides an opportunity to create a more sustainable and safer living environment.”

One Peace at a Time is an inspiring feature documentary highlighting solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems. The film follows director Turk Pipkin's five-continent, two-year search for a better way ahead. Pipkin sought the answer to one basic question: Can we provide basic rights - water, nutrition, education, healthcare and a sustainable and peaceful environment - to every child on earth? The solutions Pipkin chronicles include Ethiopian water projects with A Glimmer of Hope, education solutions with The Hole in the Wall and other innovative programs and the model Indian orphanages of The Miracle Foundation. The film includes the insights of Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Physicist Steven Chu, (Barack Obama's Secretary of Energy), Dr. Helene Gayle (CEO of CARE, International), Cameron Sinclair (Founder, Executive Director of Architecture For Humanity) and many others.

Nobelity is offering special screenings of the film to AFH chapters around the world to help raise funds for AFH’s community recovery efforts in Haiti.
