London, Sep 24 (ANI): Actor and activist Sean Penn has been honoured with this year’s Hollywood Humanitarian Award for his charity work in Haiti.
The Academy Award winner co-founded the J/P HRO Haitian Relief Organization in the wake of the January earthquake.
He has spent months in the Caribbean nation helping to distribute food and medical supplies, as well as build schools and hospitals.
Penn was made a knight in Haiti in July.
He would be the star guest at next month’s Hollywood Awards Gala Ceremony to pick up the humanitarian prize.
“It is an honour to recognise the inspiring humanitarian efforts that Sean Penn and his J/P Haitian Relief Organization have been providing to the great people of Haiti,” the Daily Star quoted Carlos de Abreu of the Hollywood Film Festival as saying. (ANI)
