Pwoje Espwa - Hope in Haiti - Are Children Safe From Abuse?

On Tuesday, May 3, 2011, Brother Robert-Anthony Campbell, FSD, posted a story on his "Haiti's Littlest Angels" blog of how he put his hands on the naked body of an 11 year-old boy while Campbell showered the boy from "head to toe, scrubbed his hair and washed his shorts." When confronted about his behavior, Brother Robert immediately shut down his entire blog. Brother Robert has since been recalled from Pwoje Espwa Sud in Les Cayes, Haiti by his superior pending an investigation.

Dear Mr. Kendrick:

       No brother has ever been accused of child abuse. Yes, we do require the traditional background checks on our candidates and they are also required to complete the VIRTUS training course as well as keep current with the updates.

       I would prefer to speak with you in person but at this point I can't speak w/anyone as I just had a procedure done on my throat and one vocal chord. Consequently, I am down to but a rasp; not good for an Irishman.

       I am preparing a letter for you during the course of this weekend.

       In closing, I really do wish you God's Peace.

       Br. Paul-Allan FSD

I am the founder of Pwoje Espwa Sud in southern Haiti. In 1998 we rented a small house and filled it with street boys. Now we have over 600 children living on a huge property outside the city of Les Cayes. There are six schools, a carpenters' workshop, an agricultural center, a small medical facility, an all-purpose space for chapel services, theater productions... In thirteen years a miracle has been taking place in southern Haiti and you have helped make it happen! Spread the word so we can continue to save children's lives.
