Since banding together with his cousin
Prakazrel Michel and Michels high school
friend Lauryn Hill to form a little group
called The Fugees, Wyclef Jean has been
doing just fine, thank you. Hes got 50
Bentleys in the West Indies, dontcha
know? Of course, with great power comes
great responsibility and Wyclef has been
giving back, specifically to his native
land of Haiti. With his new album
Welcome To Haiti: Creole 101 on the
way, Wyclef has announced plans to
become the unofficial Haitian ambassador.

Wyclef was born and raised in Haiti
until the age of 9, when he immigrated
to the Brooklyn projects in New York.
Well aware of the general perception
that many people have of his homeland,
Jean is desperate to not only create
inner-peace in the unstable Caribbean
country, but a cleaned up image for
potential businesses and tourists as well.

One such step Wyclef plans on taking
will be his newly planned December 5
benefit concert to promote peace in
Haiti. According to the Associated
Press, while not going into specific
details, Wyclef claims that proceeds
from the show will go towards efforts
to help stabilize the country.

Wyclef has also actively been planning
other efforts to help stop the
persistent civil strife within Haiti,
such as Red Cross-endorsed food runs, a
peace treaty and a tourism program.
While giving food to those in need is not
only commendable, but wholly possible,
the other two seem a bit lofty. In a
Bono-esque move, Wyclef hopes to go to
Haiti and talk with the various political
leaders in an effort to convince them to
lay down their arms for the betterment
of the country. As far as tourists and
investors begin to crop up on the
beaches, news reports and "fear for
life" have continually dissuaded
individuals from boarding a Haiti
International Airline jet.

Issued on his own Sak Pase label, Welcome
To Haiti: Creole 101 is Wyclefs first
album recorded in Haitis native tongue
of Creole. Currently on tour in
support of his new release, Wyclef
still has three final dates on his
summer jaunt through the U.S. Wyclef
hopes that 2 million Haitians would show
up for his December5 performance, which
would be quite impressive as Haiti is
only a nation of 8 million total.
