On Saturday, Grammy-winning musician and social justice advocate Wyclef Jean visited the Konbit for Haiti community center in Miami, Florida. Even as earthquake relief efforts are underway in Haiti, celebrities such as Wyclef Jean, who was born in Haiti, continue to remind us that support is still needed.
Konbit for Haiti is a long-term initiative resulting from the partnership of leaders from South Florida's Haitian community, prominent businesspeople, elected officials, labor unions and relief organizations. The community center Wyclef paid a visit to this past weekend is part of that initiative, serving as a gathering place and information hub for relief and rebuilding activities happening in Miami, FL and Haiti.
