JANE'S RECENT VISIT TO HAITI
 Her Report
I was able to give two concerts and also two completely spontaneous performances in Haiti. The evening before our departure yet another final concert took place, broadcast on the radio and later also on TV. This was a modest attempt to show our solidarity and affection to the people of Haiti...
Even more important were the visits to traumatised people in the mountains, together with ATD Fourth World... to see how a small boy was preparing the meals for his five brothers while the mothers were doing the laundry and the fathers were rebuilding houses in the ruins; those same children came down from the hills to attend a concert with a Haitian singer and myself assisted by Stéphane with the sound and Patrick at the piano. At nine o'clock in the morning they were there... and a woman said as I was told later that she had spent the FIRST quiet hour since the earthquake... (Translated from Jane's original French report)

PERSPECTIVE, A HERMES SCARF FOR FIDH
 Reprinting of the silk scarf "Perspective"
Jane Birkin, FIDH ambassador, signed the reprinting of the Hermès scarf "Perspective" to support FIDH activites.
The scarf, created by the famous painter and poster artist Cassandre, illustrates the dimensions of the word "perspective": a dynamic take off into space and a symbolic projection into the future. It has been printed on vintage silk with a unique combination of colours from glacier blue to kaki, and has been signed by Jane Birkin, the FIDH ambassador.
