Comments for Haiti Children http://www.haitichildren.com Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:33:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 Comment on Falee by Cindy Churchill http://www.haitichildren.com/2010/02/falee/comment-page-1/#comment-47 Cindy Churchill Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:33:40 +0000 http://www.haitichildren.com/?p=582#comment-47 Susie, Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing in Haiti. I was a housing coordinator for refugees arriving from Haiti and other spots in the mid-90s for Lutheran Refugee Services in Denver. I had 4 special children (who have since been adopted) in my home many weekends due to parental neglect. They were Haitian. In fact Claudia looks exactly like the first little baby that's pictured on the above photo on your site. Social services became involoved and they split the children into four homes for adoption. I have lost track of them now but think and pray for them daily. The earthquake re-awakened all my fond memories of them and my children together. I would love to meet you someday. I wondered if Claudia and Bervalyne would, as young adults, want to return to Haiti to search for their birth mother but now, I suppose that could not happen with all the chaos. Keep doing what you're doing. you're an inspiration! Cindy, Lakewood, Colo. 303 257-8516 Susie,

I truly admire and respect you! I will be sure to keep Falee in my prayers. I was wondering if there were a way people can send her pretty little dresses? Keep up the great work!

I'm a bit concerned about the mission of your organization. Are you on a religious mission or a humanitarian mission? As an aid worker with over 25 years of experience, I appreciate how nice it feels to help others, but I am a bit concerned about so many pictures of Susie and the poor children. At first blush, this web site looks a bit patronizing ... as if a blonde, white woman is the feature story. This concerns me. Also, what is your specific goal? With whom are you working? Are you coordinating your work with the government of Haiti or any other donor agencies? I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, ~Susan Wood Dear Mercy & Sharing:
