Pounds / Connecticut Post | Buy This Photo Forty dollars a day. That's all Fairfield University graduate Paul Kendrick is asking his alma mater to come up with. That amount, he said, would provide $2 daily for each of the 20 or so sexual-abuse victims of Douglas Perlitz, a fellow Fairfield U. grad once lauded by the school for the charity he founded to help homeless boys in Haiti. That charity -- Project Pierre Toussaint in Cap Haitien -- is where Perlitz recently admitted he perpetrated the abuse, a school that was supposed to be a haven for street youths in the improverished nation. Perlitz pleaded guilty in federal court last month and admitted to having sex with one underage male. However, he did not dispute prosecution claims that he abused at least eight boys. The school has been shuttered and the victims abandoned, Kendrick said. Kendrick and several supporters on Wednesday morning stood at Fairfield University's North Benson Road entrance, handing out a leaflet to motorists entering and leaving the campus on the first day of classes for the new school year. That $2 for each Haitian boy every day, he said, would provide them with a daily ration of rice, beans and spaghetti. Louis Elneus, a Haiti native who runs his own non-profit group providing textbooks in his homeland, was there to support Kendricks. Legally, Elneus admits, Fairfield University probably has no obligation to help Perlitz' victims. "But there is a moral obligation here," Elneus said. "What about helping those kids?" If the university had no problem promoting Perlitz and his program, and by extension the college itself, they need to step up to the plate now, Elneus said. In 2002, the university awarded Perlitz an honorary doctor of laws degree and he was asked to deliver the commencement address. In 2005, Perlitz received the Alumni Humanitarian Award at the annual Fairfield University Awards dinner in New York City. The Rev. Paul Carrier, who led the college's campus ministry, actively raised funds for Project Pierre Toussaint and served on its board of directors. Carrier's whereabouts are unknown now. Helen McGonigle, like Kendrick and Perlitz, is a graduate of the university. She said she was also abused by a member of the clergy. The actions of the college, she said, don't jibe with the Jesuit philosophy of service to others that she was taught in her four years there. "I still have my paper I wrote for Tom Regan," she said. Regan, once a professor at the college, later became the Jesuit Provincial. It was Regan who ordered Carrier to resign as chairman of the Haiti Fund, and resign his teaching position in Greenwich. The paper that she wrote for Regan, according to McGonigle, was about St. Thomas Aquinas' belief that a person should work for the common good and never leave anyone behind. "That's what I learned, and that's what I believe in," she said. Kendrick recalled a visit in January to Haiti and the closed school. "We were walking by a room, you could still see the cots," he said. In a corner, was a private room, Kendrick said. Through an interpreter, former students told Kendrick that Perlitz would come to the dorm room at night, using the light from his watch to illuminate his path. "They'd pretend they were asleep," Kendrick said the boys told him. "Fairfield University's links to this project are extensive," he added. Kendrick originally asked to make his plea standing in front of the school's Campus Center. "This is the first day of class for the fall semester and the university community's responsibility is to focus on opening day activities and the students' educational experience," according to a statement released by Fairfield U spokeswoman Nancy Habetz. "The university continues to work with the Haiti Fund Board and others to find ways to reopen the facilities in Cap Haitien and help support the children who have been affected by this tragic situation." ____________________ "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.

At Fairfield University, praise for Perlitz replaced with silence.

Photo: File Photo / Connecticut Post File Photo FAIRFIELD -- As word got out that Douglas Perlitz had admitted in court Wednesday that he sexually abused eight boys at the Haitian school for street boys he founded, no comment came from the administration at the university that nurtured the 1992 graduate's sense of service and ministry. Paul Kendrick, a Fairfield University alumnus, came to know Rev. Paul Carrier, a charismatic Jesuit priest. Paul Kendrick, a 1972 graduate now advocates for people sexually abused by the clergy. Photo: CP, Ned Gerard / Connecticut Post | Buy This Photo Fairfield University spokesman Nancy Habetz said because "it is a legal matter, the university has no comment on it." But Fairfield alumni Paul Kendrick, class of 1972, was as outspoken as he has been for the last two years. "My first thoughts went to the boys in Haiti," Kendrick said, "who are suffering from the abuse." Kendrick said he applauded the efforts of the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's office in New Haven. "We should be proud, I think, all of us, that we're now making a bold statement that American citizens will be held accountable for the sexual abuse of children no matter where in the world they commit those crimes." He was not proud of his alma mater, however. "Disgraceful," Kendrick said. In the last two years, he said, neither the university, the Jesuits nor the Order of Malta have contributed any emotional or financial support to Perlitz's victims. He and other victims' advocates have raised about $6,000 over the last couple of months to provide some food, clothing and shelter for the boys who had attended Perlitz's school. "For two years, they have done nothing," Kendrick said. Project Pierre Toussaint was created in 1997 in Cap-Haitien by Perlitz to provide education and shelter to young Haitian boys. Though the project was not affiliated with the college, donations to the project's financial arm, the Haiti Fund, had been made by, and through, Fairfield University. The Rev. Paul Carrier, who for 18 years was the university's chaplain and director of campus ministry, helped raise funds through Sunday Mass collections at Egan Chapel. He also served as chairman of the Haiti Fund board of directors. Perlitz had been widely admired at the university, serving as the school's commencement speaker in 2002. From 1997 to 2007, the university helped raise $775,000 for Project Pierre Toussaint, according to a report commissioned by the school. Of that amount, about $120,000 could not be accounted for. Hope Carter, listed on state records as the Haiti Fund's secretary, was not available for comment. A call to the law offices of Tisdale & Lennon LLC, the agent for the charity, was not returned. In a blog published on the Connecticut Post's website earlier this year, the Rev. Jeffrey von Arx, Fairfield University's president, wrote that he had discussions with members of the fund's board of directors "to explore how we can facilitate a partnership with charitable organizations on the group to reopen the facilities in Cap-Haitien." While he said any decision to reopen was up to the directors, "we will continue to work with it to help reopen the facilities." In September 2009, the university's board of trustees hired Day Pitney LLP to conduct an internal inquiry about the extent of Fairfield University's knowledge of the allegations against Perlitz and the nature and extent of the school's financial relationship with Perlitz, Project Pierre Toussaint and the Haiti Fund. According to the report, the university administration first learned of the sexual misconduct allegations on May 2, 2008, when a representative from the Haiti Fund called von Arx with the information. While there was a perception that the university was affiliated with Perlitz, Pierre Toussaint and the Haiti Fund, the university had no legal or fiduciary relationship with those entities, the report states.

Des bandits qui seraient liés au réseau de kidnapping de Willy Etienne, le « Robin des bois » du Nord. D'après notre source, la Direction Départementale de la Police dans le Nord est on ne peut plus satisfaite du résultat de plusieurs opérations de ratissage menées  contre plusieurs cellules liées au kidnapping dans le Nord.

Kendrick Press release & another HLLN call for help for the children Perlitz abused

Louis and the groups and Haitio forums, You may know that HLLN has stood up for the children abused by Perlitz and others in Haiti, unlike any other and for quite sometime. We have been gathering information for years in order to bring civil lawsuit on behalf of the children.  We need your support and the entire communities support on this. Back in December, I sent out a piece entitled The Collar of Impunity urging our Ezili Network readers and the entire community to step forward and help with basic necessities for the children. You and I have had that conversation. Unfortunately, only a few people like Kendrick sent monies and food to Cyrus for a few of the children since our initial public and widely circulated call for help to meet the basic needs of the children made December, 2009. Our public information shows that Kendrick's survivor of abuse- group raised $6,000 to date. HLLN has also gone on Haitian radio and asked for donation for the children to be sent directly to Haiti. Today, HLLN has secured a litigation partner and since we don't need to concentrate any further on keeping Perlitz behind bars are seriously studying with our lawyers and investigation experts when to file the imminent civil suit on behalf of the abused children. We are very far into this, very far. The community could help by helping Cyrus with food, shelter and counseling for the abuse children while HLLN continues on the legal path towards Fairfield University, Paul Carrier, and the others to make sure that there is concrete restitution. Ezili's Danto's HLLN will not stop mid-way. We will take this to the end, and warn all those who are trying to sabotage either our work or the children's case to stop.  Anyone interested in helping the children with basic necessities, please contact Cyrus Sibert DIRECTLY. We do not wish to make anyone in Haiti DEPENDENT and will not allow that anyone who helps the children with food and counseling to think they may push HLLN's work aside or sabotage the children's legal case with foreign interference in this case. We hear that since the guilty plea there are at least two US lawyers with no Haiti experience trying to sign up the children as clients because they now see money in the case that HLLN has done much heavy lifting on and have NO RESPECT for Haitian professionals. Folks without ethics can make as if we're INVISIBLE with no problem, no matter that HLLN solicited their help to keep the children alive, not to attempt to bring in their lawyer friends to take our place in the legal arena here! If this happens, HLLN, and somehow the children case is sold down the river, HLLN wants the public to know right now why we were not able to intervene and finish what we started on behalf of the abuse children of Perlitz. This development came to our attention only a few days ago and were told "not to interfere!" by a non-lawyer foreign activists and former abused victim we urged to help the children with basic needs HLLN could not provide that we thought was working on the same side as HLLN. The interference, as we've written, is not from HLLN. (See,Douglas Perlitz admits sexually abusing homeless Haiti boys.) The neocolonial paradigm cannot continue. I don't need to explain to the Haitian community what that means - its clear: Douglas Perlitz abuses for 10 years because he has reward power to assuage the poverty and misery of our young boys with food, shelter, "education." Makes them dependent in the most bestial manner. Then another savior kolon comes along, rail against the abuse, but uses the reward power of giving food, shelter and "counseling" to the children to make the victims dependent within a few months and on a $6,000 investment and suddenly has more expertise on Haiti than Haitian lawyers and activists and the Ezili Network which has been on this matter since 2005. Micro to the Macro and you've got the neocolonial paradigm on the Left and Right. We've got to figure out how to break it when it's so clearly presented. Self-reliance must be nurtured, as well as respect and dignity for all Haitians. Please contact erzilidanto@yahoo.com if you'd like to know how to help in this matter more effectively and support HLLN's work in this case. Without our intervention, it's likely Mr. Perlitz could have been released on bail and never have gotten to plead guilty. Please read Ezili Dantò the The Collar of Impunity. As we've previously indicated, as we've shed the advocacy side and formally taken on the legal side now that Mr. Perlitz is definitely behind bars for good, we cannot be ethically be involved directly in collecting funds for the interim needs of the children. So we urge others in the Haitian community to step up and please assist Cyrus Sibert in this. Thank you. HLLN is securing the plaintiffs at the moment and moving forward towards a formal request to Fairfield University and the others. Help with keeping the children alive that doesn't undermine Haiti self-reliance, sovereignty, human rights and dignity is greatly appreciated. Please support Cyrus Sibert's important work with the children. What is precious here that must not be undermined by foreigners or anyone, especially the newly expert to Haiti, is that Cyrus Sibert and Ezili's HLLN are, in many ways in the opposite political spectrum with respect to the UN occupation and the 2004 coup d'etat. Yet, up until now, we've worked TOGETHER because of our joint concern for the children who were abused by Perltiz. This is our common ground. This Haitian alliance must not be shattered by outsiders "saving Haiti" and we truly hope that remains the case. We asked the communities and the Ezili Network's help in supporting Cyrus Sibert's financial ability to help the children survive until our legal intervention is completed. Thank you.

Le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis signe un accord avec l'Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale (AAN) pour une assistance technique dans la modernisation des infrastructures.

Le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis signe un accord

avec l'Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale (AAN)

pour une assistance technique dans la modernisation des infrastructures

Une délégation de l'Agence Américaine pour le Commerce et le Développement (USTDA), a récemment effectué une visite en Haiti au cours de laquelle l'Ambassadeur des Etats-Unis, Monsieur Kenneth H. Merten, a signé un accord de subvention de plus de $US 800.000 avec le Directeur Général de l'Autorité Aéroportuaire Nationale (AAN), Monsieur Lionel Isaac. Cet accord, subventionné par l'Agence Américaine pour le Commerce et le Développement (USTDA), financera l'assistance technique pour sept projets prioritaires de modernisation des infrastructures à l'Aéroport International Toussaint Louverture, la plus grande porte d'entrée pour la plupart des voyageurs et transporteurs internationaux qui arrivent en Haiti chaque année.

L'assistance technique incluse dans cet accord supportera l'AAN dans le développement de conceptions préliminaires d'ingénieries, des budgets de projets, et des chronologies d'exécution pour les sept projets, lesquels exigent une prompte exécution en vue de promouvoir la sécurité et l'efficacité des opérations à l'aéroport. Les sept projets, pour lesquels cet accord d'assistance technique sera préparé, sont la construction d'une piste de déroulement parallèle, le renforcement du système de sécurité à l'aéroport, la construction d'une tour de contrôle de trafic aérien, la construction d'une nouvelle installation de production d'électricité, la construction d'une station d'épuration et de traitement des eaux usées, la réhabilitation des réseaux routiers externe et interne à l'aéroport, et la construction d'un nouveau bâtiment à l'aérogare internationale.

L'Ambassadeur Merten a déclaré, «Cette subvention démontre combien les Etats-Unis investissent dans l'infrastructure en Haïti pour l'aider à mieux se reconstruire. L'Aéroport Toussaint Louverture est la porte d'entrée d'Haïti au monde, et les progrès en matière de sécurité et d'efficacité aideront à stimuler la croissance économique et à augmenter la prospérité».

L'AAN a bénéficié de la subvention de l'Agence Américaine pour le Commerce et le Développement dans deux projets antérieurs dont une assistance technique au projet de modernisation de l'Aéroport International de Port-au-Prince en 2005 et le projet de formation pour la sécurité à l'aéroport. En tant que bénéficiaire, l'AAN sélectionnera l'entreprise américaine pour l'exécution des projets à travers un processus d'appel d'offre compétitif qui sera publié sur internet à travers le site Fédéral des Opportunités d'Affaires (www.fbo.gov).

Au cours de leur visite de trois jours, les représentants de l'Agence Américaine pour le Commerce et le Développement (USTDA) ont rencontré des membres du secteur privé et public en vue d'entreprendre les étapes appropriées pour l'exécution de potentiels projets d'investissements futurs à être subventionnés par l'USTDA en Haiti. L'équipe de L'USTDA a identifié d'éventuelles opportunités dans les secteurs de l'énergie et des infrastructures y compris des technologies de l'information et de la communication, de l'aviation, de l'eau, des travaux publics, des ports de mer et des projets de surveillance et de contrôle sismique.

A propos de l'Agence Américaine pour le Commerce et le Développement: la mission de l'USTDA est de promouvoir la croissance économique dans les pays en voie de développement et à revenu moyen, en aidant simultanément des entreprises américaines à exporter leurs produits et leurs services. En plus, l'USTDA soutient les objectifs de la politique américaine liés aux activités de développement et de capacité de construction. L'Agence Américaine pour le Commerce et le Développement subventionne des sponsors étrangers pour la planification de projets qui soutiennent le développement d'infrastructures modernes et un système de commerce ouvert. Les caractéristiques de l'assistance au développement de l'USTDA ont toujours impliqué les partenariats de construction entre les entreprises américaines et les sponsors étrangers de projets en vue de proposer des solutions concrètes du secteur privé aux défis de développement. www.ustda.gov.

From: Paul Kendrick <kendrickpt@aol.com> Date: August 31, 2010 10:14:27 AM EDT To: Subject: A Visible Presence Dear President von Arx, You know, for the past two years, all you ever needed to do was say, "Paul, what's on your mind? C'mon in, let's talk. How can we at Fairfield University help bring aid and comfort to the boys in Haiti who were abused by Perlitz?" It's a good thing, wouldn't you agree, that Jesus wasn't dependent upon the advice of his Board of Trustees and corporate counsel to do what's right and just for the hurting and vulnerable people he encountered? I invite you to join us tomorrow in the blistering heat at the edge of campus. We will be present as a visible reminder of the pain and suffering of the Haitian boys who were raped and sodomized by Douglas Perlitz. Sincerely, Paul Kendrick Fairfield University '72 207 838 1319

End of the war in Iraq.

[Today] evening at 8 p.m. EDT, I will address the nation from the Oval Office about the end of the war in Iraq. We are at a truly historic moment in our nation's history. After more than seven years, our combat mission in Iraq will end tomorrow. As both a candidate and President, I promised to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end. Now, we are taking an important step forward in delivering on that promise. Since I took office, we've brought nearly 100,000 U.S. troops home from Iraq, millions of pieces of equipment have been removed, and hundreds of bases have been closed or transferred to Iraqi Security Forces. Our combat mission in Iraq is ending, but our commitment to an Iraq that is sovereign, stable and self-reliant continues. As our mission in Iraq changes, 50,000 U.S. troops will remain in Iraq to advise and assist the Iraqi Security Forces as they assume full responsibility for the security of their country on September 1. We will forge a strong partnership with an Iraq that still faces enduring challenges. For nearly a decade, we have been a nation at war. The war in Iraq has at times divided us. But one thing I think all Americans can agree on is that our brave men and women in uniform are truly America's finest. They have put their lives on the line and endured long separations from their family and loved ones. All Americans owe our troops, veterans and military families a debt of gratitude for their outstanding service to our nation. Over the past few days, thousands of Americans have taken part in our Saluting Service in Iraq effort on WhiteHouse.gov, sending their messages of thanks and support to our troops. Take a minute right now to see what your fellow Americans have to say and add a message of your own: Supporting our troops and military families is the responsibility of all Americans. My Administration is doing everything in its power to ensure that our troops, veterans and their families have the support they need as they serve, and the care and opportunities they need to realize their dreams when they return home. I hope you will join me in welcoming our troops home and showing your gratitude for their heroic service. Sincerely, President Barack Obama ____________________ "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.

Des kidnappeurs exécutent à Port-au-Prince un fonctionnaire américain

Haïti-USA-Kidnapping-Assassinat Des kidnappeurs exécutent à Port-au-Prince un fonctionnaire américain Rapatriement aux Etats-Unis du corps de Ronald Chéry, un agent d'origine haïtienne du Homeland Security ; une adolescente enlevée dans la même maison toujours aux mains de ses ravisseurs lundi 30 août 2010, Radio Kiskeya La dépouille de Ronald Chéry, un américain d'origine haïtienne travaillant pour le ministère américain de l'intérieur (Homeland Security), tué à Port-au-Prince le week-end dernier lors d'un kidnapping, devrait être rapatriée incessamment en Floride, a appris Radio Kiskeya. Agé d'une cinquantaine d'années, la victime a été abattue d'une balle à la tête vendredi soir dans la résidence de sa famille à Pèlerin 8, un quartier de Pétion-Ville (banlieue est de la capitale) alors qu'elle tentait de s'opposer à l'enlèvement d'une adolescente de 16 ans par des inconnus armés. Les terroristes seraient devenus fous de rage et auraient décidé d'exécuter M. Chéry après qu'il se fut identifié comme un fonctionnaire du gouvernement américain en exhibant son badge. Quant à la jeune fille, son sort restait suspendu jusqu'à lundi soir à des négociations très difficiles avec ses ravisseurs dont les exigences financières étaient particulièrement élevées. Ronald Chéry, qui passait régulièrement ses vacances en Haïti, était rentré au pays il y a environ une semaine. Dépitée devant l'horreur du crime, sa famille a décidé de rapatrier son corps et d'organiser ses funérailles aux Etats-Unis en accord avec les autorités américaines. La semaine dernière, la police judiciaire avait présenté à la télévision de présumés membres d'un gang de la Croix-des-Bouquets spécialisé dans les rapts crapuleux. Le kidnapping, qui a explosé après la chute d'Aristide, en 2004, n'est toujours pas maîtrisé malgré des annonces régulières de la Police Nationale et de la Mission de stabilisation de l'ONU (MINUSTAH) relatives aux efforts visant à endiguer le phénomène. spp/Radio Kiskeya ____________________ "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.
