Sean Penn, the renowned American Actor and Director has granted his hand of help to Haiti earthquake victims. His heart to help is being praised by the officials. Sean Penn is famous for his political activism too.

Penn's relief work in Haiti has gained the brand of "An Amazing Achievement." Like others he has not just set – up a relief camp and sat idle.

He flew many times to help the setting up of relief camp in Petionville. Also ensured the smooth functioning of the camp, by providing all facilities.

"Here, people are relaxed. And J/P HRO''s volunteers are doing amazing things. Nine premature babies have been born in the camp in the past few weeks, and seven survived. That''s an amazing achievement," said, Mark Sweeting, from USAID.

The unique characteristics of this relief camp, while comparing to other relief camps are, proper hospital facility, plenty of schools, proper commuting facility etc.

German doctor Florian Blaser said: "The difference between this camp and all the others? Where do I start? There are no gangs roaming the streets. There are plenty of hospitals, so people have proper access to doctors".

“Children have at least four schools to choose from. You go to other places, and the earthquake victims are just existing. Here, they are thriving. There''s a real sense of community," added Blaser.

In this era, people brand themselves as 'Busy', they don't find time either for themselves or for their loved ones. Hence, such a relief work from Sean Penn is really surprising.

Although he leads a busy life, he has found time for those who are helpless. No wonder, why the officials have branded it as “An Amazing Achievement".
