Many thoughts cross my mind and sometimes I jot them down.

Cue the Jazz, brew the jasmine & chai, and let's enlighten one another.

Wyclef Jean releases statement on crisis in Haiti


HIP HOP LEGEND & HAITI NATIVE GOES TO SAVE HIS HOME



“Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the counttry 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.

President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”

Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please do one of two things: Either you can use your cell phone to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can click here to DONATE.



Thank you,

Wyclef

Earthquake Destroys Haiti


Screams, tears and lost souls fill the air on the streets of Haiti today due to the aftermath of a 7.0 magnitute earthquake that hit the country this tuesday. Victims are suffering for major injuries including head wounds, crushed limbs, and severve tramas. There is little medical assitance due to enough medical centers being destroyed  Many people are still trapped in collasped buildings as peolpe dig with their bare hands to find survivors, mostly finding dead bodies. Haitian President Rene Reval could'nt even give a definite number of the dead victims "I don't know..up to now, I heard 50,000...30,000".

Whoever is a citizen of Haiti is trapped there is no water or electricity,hosiptals are damaged and communication lines are down. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere. Which means much help is needed for the people to survive from the basic necesities: food, water and shelter.

This earthquake leaves spectators with their heart strings pulled. Instead of watching and saying you'll pray for the victims of the earthquake GET INVOLVED!
Here are some ways YOU can help Haiti:



  • American Airlines is sending doctors and nurses to Haiti for free call Please call 212 697 9767


  • Donate to the Red Cross
