As the website states, "Lidè is an educational initiative in rural Haiti that uses the arts and literacy to empower at-risk adolescent girls and help them transition into school or vocational training." I traveled there as a guest teacher for 11 days for the purpose of teaching the girls (and teachers) about photography and portraiture. Based out of the city of Gonaïves, we traveled daily to rural communities where the program works with adolescent girls on an ongoing basis. Culturally, the female, including the youth, have huge responsibilities (ie. cook, clean, do laundry, make charcoal, farm, and child care, among others). Typically, these girls do not have any down time. To know what it means to simply be a child and explore creatively is virtually nonexistent. Thus Lidè. They have an ongoing program in 7 (soon to be 8) locations throughout Haiti. They are giving these girls the freedom to hear their inner voice and to find out who they truly are through the arts. http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events daily 0.75 2016-09-21 http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2015/12/4/captured-the-photography-of-christopher-heltai monthly 0.5 2015-12-04 http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2015/12/10/gallery-1650-the-sky-above-us-exhibition monthly 0.5 2016-02-24 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/t/566131e9e4b054281a28aeea/1449210346705/ Exhibitions - 1650 Gallery: The Sky Above Us http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2015/11/15/ongoing-at-real-raw-live-hollywood monthly 0.5 2016-03-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/t/56cdf028d210b8b636a213e0/1456336949362/ Exhibitions - Ongoing at Real Raw Live, Hollywood http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2016/3/28/the-analogue-portrait-project monthly 0.5 2016-03-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/t/56f877ac0bb4eb84d611191e/1459124153891/ Exhibitions - The Analogue Portrait Project http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2016/4/1/into-abstraction monthly 0.5 2016-03-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/t/56cdef262eeb81f7467d67b3/1456336712005/ Exhibitions - Into Abstraction http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2016/4/14/halearts-gallery-santa-monica monthly 0.5 2019-01-17 http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2016/7/14/marin-society-of-artists-sparks-juried-exhibition monthly 0.5 2019-01-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/t/578334a71b631b1a87b73b82/1468216588908/ Exhibitions - Marin Society of Artists: Sparks Juried Exhibition http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2016/9/21/imagery-form-the-art-of-david-katzner-christopher-heltai monthly 0.5 2019-01-20 http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/new-events/2016/8/13/10x10x10xtieton monthly 0.5 2019-01-17 http://www.chrisheltaiphotography.com/published daily 0.75 2016-05-28 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/t/57491a73c2ea517f705e662c/1464408639289/ Published - Serenity at Terania Creek Featured image in the June, 2016 issue of The Sun Magazine https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/564638a3e4b0f18e86caa7ba/56463e3be4b0edf10d89b031/1464408639289/000028700005.jpg Published - Serenity at Terania Creek Featured image in the June, 2016 issue of The Sun Magazine https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/564638a3e4b0f18e86caa7ba/57491a52555986b356c7a20d/1464408683248/IMG_1380.jpg Published https://static1.squarespace.com/static/55b8df99e4b0aa88697c979f/564638a3e4b0f18e86caa7ba/5646403ce4b0f18e86cb07ae/1447444643037/84260008.jpg Published - Kate & Patrik Authors of The Book of Values.
