As you might have read or heard or seen on TV, a major 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook Haiti on Tuesday. The effect was seriously beyond devastating. The capital, Port-au-Prince is mostly destroyed, and that includes important buildings such as the Presidential Palace. So far there isn’t any exact number yet on death toll, but 100,000 people is feared dead from the quake.
Among the famous faces affected by the tragedy are Wyclef Jean, who’s known for his Yele Haiti Foundation, and “Heroes” actor, Jimmy Jean-Louis, who plays ‘The Haitian’ in the series. Haitian-born Wyclef Jean has been actively helping the Haiti people since long before the quake, as his Yele foundation‘s mission is creating small-scale, manageable and replicable projects to contribute to Haiti’s long-term progress. While native Haitian, Jimmy Jean-Louis couldn’t find his parents since the quake struck on Tuesday.
He told CNN:
“I have not slept yet. The second house that I grew up in was down, and some relatives have died, from what I have been told. I haven’t been able to reach my parents. I have heard that they are OK, but I do not know what is going on around them.”
The actor also stated:
“People should understand that sending donations of items and goods will be difficult right now because we will be bombarded and have no way to distribute them.”
That is a very good information. To help out Haiti, you can go to the American Red Cross website and make your contribution.
