Reuters, February 2, 2010- The stars have joined Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in calling for people to help those left homeless after the disaster, which hit the poor island nation Haiti on Tuesday.
Shakira has posted a message on her personal website asking everyone to donate(捐赠)money to Jean's Yele charity(慈善)organization, while other stars including Mark Hoppus, Yoko Ono, singer Joey Mcintyre, and Kim Kardashian have all taken to their Twitter.com pages to raise awareness of the disaster.
Jean's campaign was so popular that its website suddenly stopped working because of the money being donated every minute.A spokesperson proved the organization is working on improving the website to allow for more money donated.
Meanwhile, Hollywood super couple Pitt and Jolie have also made an effort by donating £625, 000 to help Doctors Without Borders in the earthquake-hit area.
In the statement, Jolie say, “It is extremely frightening to see a disaster of this size hit a people who have been suffering from poverty, violence and unrest for so many years.”
