Former President Bill Clinton offers an emotional plea to the world on behalf of Haiti. In addition to safe, sanitary shelter and schools, Clinton insists that "we need cash more than anything else, because we got enough cooks in the kitchen and not enough coordination and distribution."

In a special session of the 40th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, William J. Clinton, Founder, William J. Clinton Foundation; President of the United States (1993-2001); and UN Special Envoy to Haiti make a robust call for immediate aid and sustained investment to assist Haiti as it struggles to build a new and prosperous nation out of the rubble of the devastating earthquake of 12 January.

In partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative and the United Nations, the World Economic Forum will work to increase private sector involvement in Haiti for the long term. "We are reminded of the common humanity which we all share," said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum.
