After more than six months of working to produce their trademark art in ruined backyard workshops, the struggling papier mâché artists of Jacmel have finally won a boon: a $50,000 (U.S.) infusion from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund.

Although not a massive sum, the grant will fund the rebuilding of 10 ateliers destroyed in January's earthquake and literally put new roofs over the heads of a team of artists.
