USA Today took interviews at Gerard Batler about his upcoming trip to Haiti

"Most of my life I was in some sense, the scoundrel - did not always live in a good, healthy and responsible life. But I feel that I turned 360 degrees, tied my personal life and a career together, and I like what I am doing. Together with this came and a great desire to give something to others. In January, I took part in the Team Marathon "Chance for Haiti", organized by George Clooney, and I was stunned by the stream of love and support that came from all over America and the whole world. It was a good experience. But what touched me most - this is how grateful and grateful were the sacrifices to me, despite the fact that they called and they gave money. Even now, three months after the earthquake, still a lot of need to do for the people of Haiti. I am going there this month from the non-profit organization "Artists for Peace and Justice". Today's task of the organization is the construction of schools for the poorest districts of Haiti. I sponsor one of the schools there for 5 years. I am smiling at Fortune when I want to make money, but I want to give you to understand that you are not obliged to sponsor a whole school. Each donation will benefit. Before I began to help Haiti, I participated in the activities of the Kids Kicking Cancer Charitable Foundation (KKS). This fund was founded by Rabbi Elimleh Goldberg, who has a black belt on martial arts, who has died of leukemia. KKS teaches children with cancer or diseases somehow associated with cancer contribute to healing, focus their thoughts on their own body through martial arts they learn relaxation, meditation, removal of pain, deep breathing and karate. All this gives them purposefulness, interaction and unity. The children I met while working in the KKS, I was very encouraging. From communication with them, I got more than they are from me. They have strength, strength and real joy. The way many of them fight for their lives and with constant pain - incredible. To be honest, I must say that I was a little late in order to give something back to the world. It came when I became an actor. With increasing popularity, I approached an understanding that you need to assist. I wondered "Why am I?", But then I realized that my support is important to raise the idea attractiveness and there is hope that others will also help. We all have the opportunity to provide full assistance - financial or as volunteers. Please think about helping our neighbors to Haiti, combine the forces with amazing young people in the CCC or do something where you live. Share your time and tools with others - a wonderful gift for them and for you. "
