Chat show star Oprah Winfrey has joined Sean Penn in Haiti to help people displaced by the devastating 2010 earthquake.
Winfrey, escorted by security guards, walked among the tents with the actor, who created an aid group that provides support to people who live in the encampment.
The stars' efforts will be featured in an upcoming programme on her Oprah Winfrey Network.
"This is a part of my next chapter, going around the world to see interesting, fascinating and, in this case, a very profound example of what can be done to make a difference in the world," Winfrey told reporters at the encampment.
Penn said he welcomed the interest of "the world's most elegant woman" and expected it would help Haiti.
The camp, where his group works, was built on a former country club golf course and has been home to thousands of people since the earthquake left much of the Haitian capital in ruins.
"Everybody who has spent time in Haiti knows how important it is for the world to see what is going on here... We really appreciate that she's here with us," Penn said.
The Pen Point Review Media had been a dream for a period of time and after several collected efforts, the dream and goal of the team became fulfilled and achieved respectively. We are offering you outrageous stories from outrageous people.
