London, Feb 21 (IANS) Veteran actor Sean Penn is heading back to Haiti to help the survivors of the destructive earthquake last month.
The ‘Milk’ star, who’s also an activist, was among the first celebrities to go to Haiti to aid the relief effort and insists he can’t wait to get back.
“We have to save Haiti,” said Penn, before leaving for Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince, reports dailystar.co.uk.
During his recent three-week stint in Haiti, Penn slept in a tent and survived on just a few hours of sleep a night.
He said: “Relocation is, right now, the primary focus.”
The actor wants more people to join him. “You can come to Haiti and do work if you’re a doctor or a relief worker or if you can write a cheque…Everything helps,” he said.
