PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Singer Wyclef Jean officially announced his bid to be president of Haiti to a roaring crowd of supporters on Thursday, thrusting himself into a contentious race to lead an impoverished country reeling from a devastating earthquake.

Despite the large amount of money pledged for Haiti -- over 50 percent of Americans donated to the relief effort -- the efficiency of the effort has been weakened by structural problems, bureaucratic inactivity, the scope of the disaster, and other interests trying to keep their privileges while giving the appearance of change.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell’s “Fashion For Relief” show managed to gather a plethora of celebrities to strut their stuff down the catwalk in a bid to raise money for Haiti.
