Wyclef's Twitter urging everyone to help Haiti
Haitian-born musician Wyclef Jean has been leading the charge to help victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. In 2005, Jean started the Yele Haiti charity organization, whose purpose is to restore pride and hope to the Haitian people. After the earthquake on Tuesday, Yele Haiti was among the first to initiate an appeal for aid via Twitter.
Jean is encouraging people to text “Yele” to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund.
Jean’s former group, The Fugees coined the term “Yele” in a song, which means “a cry for freedom”.
