As the recovery efforts in Haiti continue, Wyclef Jean, co-founder of Yéle Haiti, was at the airport this weekend to welcome three young Haitian amputees on their trip to get urgently needed artificial limbs. Yéle Haiti, working with the Global Medical Relief Fund (GMRF), providing eight round-trip tickets from their partner Delta Airlines—which includes tickets for GMRF staff and the patients’ relatives—between Port-au-Prince and the GMRF’s headquarters in Staten Island, N.Y. The group will then travel to Philadelphia, where the three patients will be treated at Shriners Hospitals for Children, which will be providing the care for free.
