The Academy for Peace and Justice
Built on a seven-acre campus in the capital of Port-Au-Prince, the Academy is the largest secondary school of its kind in Haiti. Born out of the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, it has grown annually and is now at full enrollment offering a secondary education to more than 3,500 students. The Academy is unique in seeking out some of the city’s most struggling and deserving youth, providing them with a middle and high school education. This truly is exceptional since most children in Haiti do not attend school past the 5th grade.
APJ Festival Gala (Toronto)
The APJ Festival Gala has taken place during the Toronto International Film Festival for the last 13 years. Several awards are presented including the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Canadian Changemaker Award.
APJ Gala in Montreal
The first Gala took place in Montreal in June, 2019 during the Montreal Grand Prix Weekend. Funds raised supported Artists for Peace and Justice and The KANPE Foundation.
