Matt and Wyclef Head to Haiti to Help After Ike
Matt Damon and Wyclef Jean were in Cabaret, Haiti on Saturday to distribute food and oil to people affected by Hurricane Ike. Wyclef has long been active in his home country, but he brought Matt along to attract attention to the region, which has been devastated after being hit by multiple storms this Summer. The charitable duo just left Toronto after the OneXOne gala, which benefited children's funds, so it seems as though Wyclef and Matt have a good thing going helping out together.
