Look who was just in Haiti passing out relief food. If he would have been there when I was there I for sure would have noticed him and I'm sure we would have become fast friends and he would invite our family out to dinner when he passed through Austin next time! Our kids could have play dates …. we could go to movie screenings with him and his wife … we would meet Ben Afleck and Jen Garner and I would become friends with her too.
ha ha … that is all dumb and I am being very silly …. but it is very cool that Matt Damon was in Haiti helping the people. I LOVE when celebrities get behind something. Because for some reason in America when a movie star talks people listen. I'm not saying that's how it's supposed to be … it's just how it is.
i know! i read about this in my rss feed and it made me smile… it seems like matt’s got a sweet place in his heart for hurting people and it’s helped raise the awareness! hopefully there will be more help on the way!
It is my understanding that Matt Damon was there with singer, Wyclef Jean, who was, of course, born in Haiti. Several years ago he established the Yele Haiti foundation which has given many scholarships to Haitian children.
On his show the other night David Letterman talked about Haiti with Sen. Obama. So many Americans don’t even know that Haiti exists right here in our hemisphere
Just think of how narrowly you missed being BFF with Jennifer Gardner!! Hee hee.
My inappropriate crush on Matt Damon has grown exponentially . . . philanthropy is HOT. 🙂
yes jen and i would have for sure been BFF but that would have always been awkward for me since aaron thinks she is hot!
Does anyone know about the “Yele Haiti foundation” – Thanks
