Alfredo Dinten, contestant from NBC's 'Biggest Loser', donated a single pair of Lee jeans to a village in southern Haiti this week. Reuters reported that Dinten was asked to donate any old clothing to a charity of his choice. "I came up with the idea of helping the earthquake victims of Haiti while watching and episode of Who's the Boss", says Dinten.
A local woman of the village named 'Hamanini' was overwhelmed with the generosity of such a famous American and was also bewildered at the size of his jeans. Local Haitian Fasputakasa: "We thought this jeans was from giant like we read in book when parents tell scary stories."
The denim fabric alone from Alfredo's donation was able to yield the villagers 17 hammocks, 45 pairs of socks and 21 three man tents. Alfredo Dinten is viewed as a hero as well as a world humanitarian. Dinten plans to donate a couple of tee shirts to the village later next spring. The contents are expected to provide wind sales for over 60 sail boats in Haiti.
