Here’s another celebrity using her name and fame for good.
Mia Farrow was in Haiti this past Sunday as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador meeting with victims of the storms that have hit the small country in the past few weeks.
The storms have left over 300 people dead.
Farrow told the AFP, “I saw a city mostly submerged in deep mud (and) people still stranded on roof tops. Other people are still living in school and in a church.”
Sad.
She added, “There is a sense of confusion, loss and anger. The people in the shelters had not eaten for days, (there is) not enough water coming — of course there is in no sanitation of any kind.”
Farrow promised to spread the news of the horrible destruction and death that the country is facing once she returned to the U.S.
Mia said, “My hope is to be a good steward of this information, to take this message to the United States and the international community with the hope that the conscience of the world will respond.”
Let’s hope her efforts help.
