"Before Friday's Clooney-led benefit, there are numerous ways in which you can take part in Haitian relief efforts. MTV has culled together a list of organizations, from the American Red Cross to Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti to UNICEF, that are providing valuable services on the island.


"I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse," Jean wrote on his Web site. "We must act now."From Facebook support groups to the halls of Washington, D.C., the nation has galvanized around the embattled island nation as it experiences the latest in a string of humanitarian crises.
