Sean Penn has spent the last few weeks in Haiti and now it has just been reported the actor is personally responsible for saving two lives Thursday during a rescue mission in Haiti — a woman and an orphan child badly injured in the rubble of a collapsed building

TMZ reports: Penn — who runs the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization — drove an hour- and-a-half with his daughter Dylan to rescue a woman and child who were trapped in rubble outside Port-au-Prince, possibly from an aftershock. An eyewitness tells TMZ Penn helped extricate the woman, who suffered leg injuries, and the child, who suffered head injuries. Penn drove them in his truck to the University of Miami hospital camp in Port-au-Prince.

TMZ was told Penn waited while the woman and child were treated for their injuries and then took them back to his place.

The woman and the child have nowhere to go, and Penn won’t leave them until they have a safe place to go.

The Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization, which was created by actor/director Sean Penn and philanthropist and entrepreneur Diana Jenkins in the days immediately following the Haiti earthquake, has launched a “Beat the Rain” campaign aimed at more quickly relocating tens of thousands of Haitians before the heavy rain season begins.

The Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organization is drawing on an enormous network of emergency response contacts in government and non-government organizations, as well as support from friends internationally, to deliver immediate results to the people of Haiti. They are working closely with the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne, officials in the Dominican Republic, as well as many local mayors, religious and community leaders, and hospital officials to determine the most immediate needs and service those needs as quickly and effectively as possible.

Read all that they have accomplished in a 3 week period here.
