One trip isn’t enough for Sean Penn!

The humanitarian/actor, who has already founded the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization as a means of raising support and money, is heading back at the end of the week to personally do what he can to provide help to a still-devastated country!

“This is the Apocalypse. This is like (the effects of nuclear disaster) Hiroshima. The devastation there is on a level like nothing anyone that I’ve spoken to has ever seen. We’re within two weeks from the rainy season. People have in essence no cover. There are tent cities that are made from rugged tarps on top and sheets on the side. It’s an incredible fire hazard. The camps are wildly overcrowded, a breeding ground for infectious diseases. So what has to happen in the next two weeks… is to try to relocate as many as possible. People are going to die in mass if we don’t get those camps closed.”

“The people are probably the most resilient – certainly the most I’ve ever experienced. We saw amputations without flinching, without anesthesia. These are our neighbours, and this is a country that needs us and ultimately we need them because the character of the Haitian people is seeded in a disconnect from the comfort addiction that so many of us in the country have – that’s a powerful force of character and that we need to share. I’m going back. I’ll be back in Haiti on Friday.”

We’re glad he’s focusing his efforts on such a fantastic cause! Kudos are certainly in order!!
