Audio Adrenaline's Hands & Feet Project for "Haiti Made - Job Creation & Orphan Prevention" reached their Kickstarter campaign goal of $20,000 in three short days. Now the band is going for their flex goal of $35,000 and they have 5 days left to make it.

The project has $28,229 in pledges from 301 backers so far, which leaves them needing $6771 to hit the $35k mark.

The purpose behind "Haiti Made" is simple - to build a "Circle of Trade" united around quality products, sustainability, and dignified jobs, to fight against Haiti’s orphan crisis. Hands & Feet wants to "bring economic hope to a country that has been defined by extreme poverty, joblessness and entitlement. Born from the need to create jobs for young adults transitioning out of orphan care, Haiti Made has joined with the people of Haiti to create dignified opportunities that equip and empower them to take responsibility for their own lives, and the future of their nation."

Reminiscent of the phrase, "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime," the project wants to help the people of Haiti create their own industries which will allow them to depend more on themselves and less on outside help. "What if instead of more charity and more giving to the people of Haiti, we started to buy from them, and in doing so we deliver hope and dignity? That is what Haiti Made circle of trade is all about," the page reads.

The pledge levels start at $12 and to up to $2500. The "perks" for the eight different levels get better and better the more you pledge.
