A report from TheSmokingGun.com accused Wyclef and his Yele Haiti organization of mis-appropriation of funds this week, and Wyclef took to his personal YouTube account yesterday to address the accusations.
Wyclef was one of the first activists to take action to raise funds for Haiti after the earthquake, and raised over $1 million in just a day. Wyclef himself has been working tirelessly with his family in Haiti, physically doing whatever needs to be done to help the victims. In this video, he is visibly weary, and despite his frustration with the Smoking Gun report, he thanks everyone for their support. He says he will be making trips to Haiti every few days, and will also be putting up video footage so that people can see what is really going on there.
We at I AM IN DEMAND.COM firmly believe that Wyclef and The Yele Haiti organization is doing everything it can with the generous donations given to the charity for this tragedy. The problem at hand is much bigger than blogs looking for attention. Let’s focus on what we can do to help our brothers and sisters, because that is ALL that matters right now.
