Philanthropic Viewpoints

Wyclef Jean, Yéle Haiti


International recording artist Wyclef Jean on his role as Ambassador of Haiti and the power of music in philanthropy. [excerpt] "Hip hop is a sustainable tool for development. The general idea of hip hop is that it's social and it taps into an environment. If you want to reach kids, the quickest way to reach them is through either music or through sports. They automatically react to it. Hip hop is the culture, and rap music is what's in the forefront."
