Wyclef Jean has made this statement in response to the 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti yesterday.
"Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever 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 catastrophe alone. We must act now."
He goes on to describe how any cell phone user with text capabilities can quickly provide support for the relief efforts. You can text the word "Yele" to 501501. As a result $5 will be charged to your cell phone account and donated to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund. For more details or to donate additional amounts, visit Yele.org.
