Today, Oprah’s “Next Chapter” took her to tour the country of Haiti.  With Sean Penn by her side, Oprah visited an encampment almost 2 years old that has become home for the Haitians displaced by the January 12, 2010 earthquake that shook the country to it’s core.  Now, just one month shy of the two year anniversary, Oprah is shining light on efforts by Sean Penn and so many others that have created aid groups and more to help support people as they continue to try to rebuild their own lives.  It’s reported that her journey with Sean and this visit will be featured on OWN, bringing to the rest of the world an update and understanding that only Oprah and her team know how to give us.

“This is part of the next chapter, going around the world to see interesting and fascinating cases of profound examples of what can be done to make a difference in the world,” Winfrey told reporters at the encampment. (AP quote)
