Wyclef Jean and George Clooney worked together to organize participants and funds for "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" telethon presented by MTV. The telethon was broadcasted from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti. 60 countries and 60 international networks aired the Telethon. "Hope for Haiti Now" has to be one of the biggest charitable efforts ever organized. All proceeds from the telecast will be split among five organizations working on the ground in Haiti: Oxfam America, Partners in Health, American Red Cross, UNICEF and Yele Haiti.
