For one night only, Mitch will share his experiences operating an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti after the devastating earthquake of 2010. The event will take place on the 20th of June from 6-9 PM at the Wealthy Theatre.
In an intimate setting, Mitch will tell stories, take questions, and share never-before-seen footage. The evening will also feature a special photographic presentation on Haiti by Brian Kelly. Dessert will follow the Program.

This afternoon, Banika Jones walked through the doors of a refurbished home on Custer Street in Detroit to the cheers of onlookers. Banika was thrown into the public spotlight in January when she suffered a mother's worst nightmare--the disappearance of her two year-old daughter, Bianca. Last month, the girl's father was charged with her murder. Shorty after, Banika learned that she was going to lose her home because of her inability to pay the bills.
