Wyclef Jean attends the RFK Center Ripple of Hope Awards dinner at Pier Sixty at Chelsea Piers on November 18, 2009 in New York City.
Wyclef Jean and Bono received the organization's 2009 Ripple of Hope Award at the Center's annual dinner, recognizing the bold leadership demonstrated by the two honorees on humanitarian issues.
"As champions of justice, Bono and Wyclef have brought the national spotlight to human rights violations, empowered local activists, and transformed the lives of millions of people living in poverty from Port-Au-Prince to Darfur," said Kerry Kennedy, founder of the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights. "Their efforts evoke the spirit of my father and we are honored to recognize them."
