Ben Stiller가 좋은 일 하네요...
In the wake of the 2010 earthquake, Stiller furthered his philanthropic efforts by establishing the
Stiller Foundation,
with the goal of assisting children worldwide. The organization began
the Haitian School Initiative to rebuild crippled institutions and their
communities. In partnership with
Architecture for Humanity,
the program helped resurrect two badly damaged facilities—the École la
Dignité in Cayes de Jacmel and the Collège Mixte le Bon Berger in
Montrouis—and is currently working on the École Baptiste Bon Berger in
Port-au-Prince.
Stiller’s organization has also teamed with the Digicel Foundation,
the charitable arm of the Caribbean mobile-phone company, to create
eight new school buildings (four have been completed so far). The scope
of the work is extensive, from earthquake-resistant structural design to
water-catchment systems. As with the other efforts, local workers are
employed for the construction, and the edifices incorporate bright
colors that embody a message of hope.
“Connecting with people is
the most satisfying aspect of this work,” Stiller says. “The task can
seem daunting, but when you see the effect even a little effort
produces, it becomes incredibly energizing.”
