WYCLEF PLANS TO BUILD A SCHOOL

WYCLEF JEAN is hoping to build a school in his native Haiti.The former Fugees star has fixed plans for the facility and will call on celebrity pals like Matt Damon and Angelina Jolie to help him raise funds for the school.
He tells HollyScoop.com, "I want to start working on building a school. It's going to be called the Yele Center. Hopefully I can start the fundraiser in six months, and I have the model.
"I want something that's sustainable for kids. One person got me out of Haiti, my parents got me to America. I took the dream back to Haiti. If I could just save one kid with that school, and get the next Wyclef Jean or the next Shakira (his partner on hit single Hips Don't Lie), I'll be satisfied."
