Wyclef's Personal Statement on the accusations against Yele Haiti

We haven't posted anything on the accusations about Wyclef's foundation because we didn't want to dignify the rumors, but here is his response.

For the record, the writers of the IIIrd World have given to Yele, and we are proud to have done so. We would encourage everyone to do the same, just as we would encourage you to donate to the Red Cross, World Food Program, and many other great organizations helping with the cause.
