🧠💪🏾 COUDE À COUDE: Elbow to Elbow with Haitian TPS Holders 🇭🇹
Thousands in our Haitian community are living with the fear of deportation. The emotional weight is heavy—but they don’t have to carry it alone.

We’re launching a powerful initiative to provide free, culturally grounded mental health support to Haitian TPS holders and their families. Led by Word and Action, Inc., this is a call for mental health professionals, advocates, and allies to stand with us.

✊🏾 Healing starts with presence, solidarity, and compassion.

This is one of the most significant cases of child sexual abuse that occurred in Haiti, but trialed in the US.

Along with the American Lawyer. Nicole Philip, I had the opportunity to interview over 10 of the victims. Their stories are some of the most horrific I have ever heard in my career. I am relived that justice had finally been rendered for those young Haitian victims.

One of the saddest things is that the United States seems to be the country that provides justice for the sexually abused children in Haiti, while the Haitian government has done nothing. Geilenfeld was arrested in Haiti and spent a year in prison, but was released. We can only guess how that had happened. Some of those young men told us they were afraid for their lives after he was released.

Below is an interview Paul Kendrick, Nicole Philip and I had on Le Point with Wendell Theodore — addressing child sexual abuse in Haiti. Tomorrow morning around 7:15 am, I will be on Radio Metropole during the morning news to share my opinion about this crucial issue in our homeland.

Through Word and Action, I will remain committed to this fight against child sexual abuse—a battle I have been engaged in for over 15 years. We will continue to fight and hope that we can break the chain of child sexual abuse in our communities.

Our sister organization, WORD AND ACTION BALI is gaining ground in Indonesia. Our CSA prevention program, called, “KIDS PROTECT PROJECT are being implemented successfully. We were able to donate a copy of our recently published book to 51 students and 12 teachers were trained on child sexual abuse prevention. Thanks for the financial support of Graham and Pelangi School. We thank Thierry who helped coordinating everything, as a result more people are being empowered. www.wordandaction.org
