Wayne wasn't able to make the trip to Haiti Friday, but took time out to tell DX Daily why he joined the initiative saying, "A lot of people tend to forget about those who are less fortunate during the holiday season," the rapper said. "Not many understand how receiving just one item could bring so much joy to a child’s life, especially if they don’t have the same everyday luxuries that the more fortunate tend to overlook. I’m just grateful to be able to give back to Haiti in any way possible."

Berto, also of Haitian descent, dressed up as Santa Claus for the children and then passed out toys.  Peep more details about the special trip to Haiti, Wayne's concert and much more courtesy of DX Daily:
