Actress Olivia Wilde helps support the work of Father Rick Frechette as a member of Artists for Peace and Justice.
Artists for Peace and Justice in partnership with Father Rick have been able to make an enormous difference in the lives of thousands of Haitian children. Their commitment to providing education for the poorest children is what drives them forward as the country begins to rebuild.
