"Kris Allen has urged people not to forget about Haiti following the devastation caused by last month&amp;#039;s earthquake.  The American Idol winner recently visited the Caribbean island with the United Nations Foundation to raise further awareness of the daily struggles still being faced by its people.  &amp;quot;The thing about Haiti is that there was so much money given at first, but this thing is not going away. They need so much help right now, they need a lot of money and the UN is out there doing everything they can,&amp;quot; he explained.  The singer continued to Digital Spy that the morale on the island was &amp;quot;a little split&amp;quot;, saying: &amp;quot;A lot of people have been really hurt, lost most of their family and a lot of their friends and homes - no one is really staying in a home right now.  &amp;quot;I think there is a lot of people who feel like it isn&amp;#039;t going to turn around, but there is a whole bunch of people that believe in what is going on and what the UN is doing and all the help they&amp;#039;ve been given. I think the morale, for the most part, is pretty good.&amp;quot; UN Foundation CEO Kathy Calvin added: &amp;quot;There was a moment when people thought there might be serious violence in the streets, but if anything, this country has kept it&amp;#039;s cool far better than anyone expected... The biggest fear is mothers with brand new babies and the length of time it&amp;#039;s going to take for hospitals to get back up running.  &amp;quot;But Kris is right - we just saw such commitment by the people and gratitude that they weren&amp;#039;t alone, and that others were trying to help them. So everybody who can watch on Thursday and follow up will be greatly appreciated.&amp;quot; Allen will perform &amp;#039;Let It Be&amp;#039; and share video footage from his trip on this Thursday&amp;#039;s American Idol results show, which airs on Fox. &amp;gt; Click here to read the full interview with Kris Allen "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
