PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Oprah Winfrey toured an encampment for
Haitians displaced by a massive 2010 earthquake under tight security
Monday, with a local photographer detained for about 90 minutes as he
tried to cover the event.
Winfrey, escorted by security guards,
walked among the tents with the actor Sean Penn, who helped create an
aid group that provides support to people who live in the encampment.
Winfrey said Penn's efforts will be featured in an upcoming program on
her Oprah Winfrey Network.
"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.
