This was released yesterday by an organization called Adventure in Missions. Human Trafficking is one issue that breaks my heart so much, and when I hear about it in Haiti...well my heart breaks a little bit more. Please read this post, sign the petition, and spread the news.
We just found out that an orphanage in Haiti that we were working with has been corrupted. They were not using the money we sent them, and there are reports of children disappearing.
We've suspected this for awhile, but now we're certain: The children are being neglected, many in dire need of medical assistance, and some are being trafficked.
There are reports of physical and sexual abuse, and if we don't act quickly, it doesn't look good.
The evidence in hand shows:
- Children have been and are currently being trafficked from the Son of God Orphanage. The evidence on human trafficking leads back to the Son of God orphanage. The orphanage director was imprisoned in July as part of a police-led operation that resulted in his conviction of trafficking a child.
- Haitian investigators have told our team the evidence suggests organ harvesting and trafficking as well.
- Haitian investigators have told our team the evidence suggests organ harvesting and trafficking as well.
- Numerous photos show extreme physical abuse and neglect. U.S. and Haitian doctors have documented cases of severe abuse and neglect including burns and broken bones.
- As recently as October 10, American volunteers took children with late-stage starvation out of the orphanage and to local doctors. Without this intervention, the doctors confirmed the children could have died of starvation.
- After boldly bringing these facts to the attention of government officials, American citizens received death threats from those associated with the current orphanage leadership--documented by the Haitian police.
This orphanage must be shut down. Other orphanages are ready and willing to take these children. Please urge CNN to cover this story and work to close this orphanage and re-locate the children immediately.
Be the voice for these precious children in Haiti.
