Marie-Jo Poux, founder of the Foyer Espoir Pour les Enfants (FEPE)
orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with Pat Jolly, who's contributed endless to New Orleans' music and culture over 35+ years, and Maryse.

Putting heads together: Deanna Bernard and Cathie Ruggerio, both of them huge helps to Sticking Up For Children over 10 years, after this show.

Angela King and Julie Jacobs, two more who have benefited (like Jennifer Maxwell of JAMBAR and Katrina Frey of Frey Wines) Sticking Up For Children from the first year that Cyril and Gaynielle Neville passed this idea and trust along. Angela's Gallery on Royal Street represents Big Chief Shaka Zulu, Aaron Reichert, Michelle Gagliano, Woodrow Nash, and 21 more among artists of the world.
Remember: If we all keep sticking up for children, the unborn may get to 2077 with A.I. like a bad dream, well-served as best forgotten, behind them.
