Olivia Wilde's Charity Work With Artists for Peace and Justice

Olivia Wilde has participated in the real thing in the most dire circumstances in her beloved Haiti, through her work for Artists For Peace And Justice (AFPJ), a non-profit founded by filmmaker Paul Haggis.
Artists For Peace And Justice was launched in 2009 after Haggis met Father Rick Frechette, which supports communities in Haiti through programs in education, healthcare, and dignity, according to its web site. Their goal is to remove the barriers that poverty poses to a future of opportunity for children in Haiti.

Wilde first visited Haiti at age 3 with her parents. “Haiti is fantastic,” she says. “I actually used to draw pictures of Haiti in school. It really stuck with me.” Her philanthropic efforts with AFPJ began in 2008.

She lastly says that “I have learned that it is the most frustrating work to be in. It can seem like sweeping sand at the beach, but it is what keeps me sane.”
