Scarlett Johansson Designs Mango Handbag For Assistance To Haiti

On 12 January 2010, a major earthquake struck southern Haiti, knocking down buildings and power lines and inflicting what its ambassador to the United States called a catastrophe for the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. The magnitude 7.0 quake is the most powerful to Haiti in a century. This earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. Haiti is in agony; the earthquake has destroyed its buildings, homes, lives.

Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. All kinds of donations are arriving in Haiti. No matter the government or individual in the world want to help Haitian people by all means. Some world-famous brands also take measures to help Haitian government and people.

January 28, 2010, Hollywood star, the spokesperson of Mango, Scarlett Johansson specially designed a new handbag cooperating with Mango to help the earthquake victims in Haiti to raise funds. This bag was printed the old map of Haiti, which stands for, I think, the firm belief. Haiti is a poor, tragically deforested nation, but it is rich in history, human potential, and human spirit. We still believe that Haiti can move beyond its troubled history and this lethal earthquake to emerge a stronger, more secure nation. This bag still attaches the characters "Support the people of Haiti," as well as Scarlett Johansson's personal signature. It is learned that Haiti handbags will be exclusively on sale worldwide in 1390 Mango stores. The canvas tote will retail for .90 and proceeds will go to charity organization OXFAM in their relief efforts in Haiti.  The bag features a vintage cartography of the island - one of our favorite motifs both aesthetically and thematically, symbolizing the perseverence of a nation through time.

Scarlett Johansson said: "I am very glad to cooperate with Mango. Promoting conscious consumer behavior and raising funds for Haiti, I am thrilled. Buy this handbag, you can provide great assistance, such as clean water. "

Yes, we all have a stake in Haiti's future. In our interdependent world, we are all connected and the fate of our neighbors is intrinsically linked with our own. A stronger, more secure Haiti means a stronger, more secure region. The Haitian people deserve the chance to build a nation that reflects their hard work, their ability, and their desires. There is a Haitian proverb, ÒMen anpil chay pa lou,Ó which translates as "Many hands lighten the load." Working together, we can lighten the load that the Haitian people have carried on their own for far too long, and finally give them a real chance for a better tomorrow.
