Dear friends and supporters of the Lavi Project,
17 American missionaries have been reported kidnapped by gang members in Haiti on Saturday, including 14 adults and three minors. The missionaries were traveling by vehicle Saturday to Titanyen, north of the capital Port-au-Prince, after visiting an orphanage in the Croix des Bouquets area. They were abducted along the route between the two places. Our source conveyed that the kidnapping investigation is ongoing and more information would be available Sunday into Monday morning. details are still unfolding.
Lavi Project is in the beginning stages of planning our first medical team trip since January 2020. Sadly, this is the route that Lavi Project routinly travels as we deploy our mobile clinics. Our source on the ground tells us that the Haitian Police have increased there presence on this main route and the gang activity and presence has decreased dramaticly. We are in constant contact with our friends at the orphanage, they are still all well but are very concerned still for the safety of the children and staff. In the mean time, Lavi Project is delivering 12-15, 55 gallon barrels through a Haitian transportation company based in Boston on Friday, October 22. We are still in need of rice, dried beans, and non parishables such as canned meat, fruit and vegetables. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during these next few days and weeks.
Covid 19 virus, civil unrest, the Haitian President, Jovenel Moise assassinated and now kidnapping of Americans. Haiti needs relief and stabilization, now!
We will keep you updated, but in the meantime, please consider helping today.
Thank you - Bob Bancroft, Founder & CEO
