LOS ANGELES â Ten years ago, a deadly earthquake devastated Haiti, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead, others fighting for their lives trapped under rubble. Thatâs when Sean Penn stepped up to help.
Best known as an actor, Pennâs heart actually lies in helping people in crisis, as seen when he hit the ground in Haiti.
Penn has responded to crises time and time again over the past decade, all over the world. It has become the mission of the starâs nonprofit, Community Organized Relief Effort â or CORE â to help communities in urgent despair.
