Wyclef Bids For Presidency

Wyclef Running for President of Haiti!

Wyclef Jean will announce his bid for the President of Haiti. The rapper will announce his bid for the country’s presidency on August 5th.

The rapper went into action on January 12th, when Haiti was leveled by a 7.0 earthquake that left 300,000 people dead over a million others displaced. He helped raise over $10 million dollars in less than three months.

Wyclef maintained his status as a citizen of Haiti, was in the country yesterday. His uncle, Raymond Joseph, has been the Haitian ambassador to the United States since 2005 and helped Wyclef’s drive to raise money and relief aid for victims of the massive earthquake. Elections are set for November 28th.

Good luck, Clef!

Wyclef's Response to Haiti Earthquake

Wyclef Response to Earthquake

This is what Wyclef had to say about his home country and the earthquake that occured yesterday...

“Haiti yesterday 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.

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 visit www.yele.org and click on DONATE.
