We interrupt your regular Hump Day for this statement

As with most people with family in the islands your mind is on your homeland and I'm you different. I'm wrapping my head around the devastation in Haiti and praying no tsunamis kick up to affect the other places in the region. Please use the power of technology we've been blessed with to spread positivity and support where needed.

Evita has gotten some info on where you can donate.

Donate to Wyclef's YELE.org.
I've been in touch with his New Media Manager, Nate Erickson.
Contact him at haitiquakerelief@gmail.com, or @NateErickson on Twitter.com, if you want to help!

Wyclef's Statement on the Situation

“Haiti today 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 Yele.org and click on DONATE.
