Update about Geilenfeld : Hearts with Haiti.

Dear Rev. Hamrick, During the investigation, Michael Geilenfeld must remove himself from all access to children. Geilenfeld should remain in the United States and away from the St. Joseph's homes until the investigation is completed. Paul Kendrick _________________________   Dear Rev. Hamrick, Thank you for your letter. Before I go on, however, I think it is important to note that you still have not answered my question: "How many child sex abuse allegations have been brought against Michael Geilenfeld during his lifetime?"  I strongly recommend that you speak with and retain the services of Victor Vieth, Executive Director of The National Child Protection Training Center at Winona State University in Minnesota. I have not yet spoken to Mr. Vieth about this particular situation, but will do so at my first opportunity.  Here is Mr. Vieth's contact information: Email: victor.vieth@ncptc.org or Telephone: 507-457-2894. Sincerely, Paul Kendrick 207 838 1319 ______________________________________ From: Hearts W. Haiti <4heartswithhaiti@gmail.com> To: kendrickpt@aol.com Sent: Tue, May 10, 2011 7:33 pm Subject: Hearts with Haiti Dear Mr. Kendrick,                   I am writing in reference to your recent email to me and your communications with other board members of Hearts with Haiti.  As I believe you are aware, Hearts with Haiti is a non-profit organization that seeks to support the ministries of the St. Joseph's Home, Wings of Hope, and Trinity House in Haiti.  While Hearts with Haiti neither owns nor operates these ministries and it does not employ the staff of these ministries, we do care deeply about the children served by these ministries.                   It seems apparent from the tenor and tone of your prior communications that there is probably little, if anything, that I or others with Hearts with Haiti can say that will satisfy your concerns or adequately address the allegations that you have made.  Nevertheless, I think we both share the desire for a healthy, wholesome, and safe environment for the children served by these ministries.  To that end, the Hearts with Haiti board is actively seeking to identify an independent, credible third party organization to conduct an investigation into the allegations that have been made.  Should you have suggestions about such an organization that you would like to pass along for consideration by the board, please do so.  Once an investigator is identified, I would anticipate that he or she will want to hear from you so as to have the benefit of any evidence that you have to share.  I hope you will be willing to cooperate in that regard.  Once we have identified the organization to conduct the investigation, I'll give them your contact information.   Best regards,    Patrick Hamrick   ____________________ "La vraie reconstruction d'Haïti passe par des réformes en profondeur des structures de l'État pour restaurer la confiance, encourager les investisseurs et mettre le peuple au travail.
