CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - September 30, 2009
Jean, who achieved fame with The Fugees before going solo,
collaborated with the New Hampshire-based footwear and apparel
company on a 16-boot collection going on sale in November.
Timberland also will sell T-shirts designed by Haitian children,
and a new line of organic shirts and hats will be sold at Jean's
concerts, with a cut of the profits going to Jean's Yele Haiti
foundation.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Jean says he hopes
the partnership will inspire children and put a new face on his
homeland. The partnership is part of Timberland's Earthkeepers
program, which promotes environmental and social activism.
