Kris Allen Recalls 'Destruction' He Witnessed In Haiti

The idea for the trip to Haiti came from "Idol" creator Simon Fuller. As soon as Fuller made the suggestion, Allen came onboard. They ended up handing out food, breaking up fallen concrete with a Sledgehammer and Rubble clearing with his hands, all the while working side by side with the Haitian people. Allen's last stop took him to a tent where mothers come to breastfeed their babies and care for their children.

During Thursday's show, viewers will be asked to make online or text-message donations to the Idol Gives Back Foundation, with funds going to support the United Nations Foundation's ongoing efforts in Haiti. "I wanted to go over there and help," Allen said. "I felt like I did that in a little way. I think that me being on the show is going to be a bigger help than we are going there with the little bit of manpower that I have."Read More Story,http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1632605/20100224/allen_kris_american_idol_.jhtml
