WYCLEF STEPS UP TO THE PLATE




As most of you know, Haiti was subjected to a massive earthquake the other day, killing large quantities of people. Hospitals collapsed, homes were destroyed and the lives of many individuals will never be the same.

Rapper Wyclef Jean, known for his many humanitarian efforts, is speaking up about the disaster and letting you know that help is necessary. Read what he had to say below:

"Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has every experienced. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake and several very strong aftershocks struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince. I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face tragedy alone."

"We must act now...The U.S. military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately...The internationl community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible."
