Mr Hamlyn,
Child protection advocates are advising the abuse victims not to speak with private investigators hired by you.
I strongly urge that you dedicate yourself to ensuring that law enforcement officials conduct the investigation.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011
Child protection advocates voice concerns about proposed investigation of child sexual abuse at St. Joseph's Homes in Port au Prince, Haiti by Hearts with Haiti organization (see letter below).
Here are the steps you need to take:
1) Call the police. Report your suspicions to U.S. Homeland Security ICE Investigations, Haitian National Police, United Nations Police and the Haitian Child Welfare office.
2) Remove Michael Geilenfeld, a U.S. citizen, from Haiti until the investigation is completed. Ensure that Geilenfeld has no further contact with potential witnesses and/or victims.
3) Get out of the way of law enforcement professionals. Forensic investigators are specially trained to investigate child abuse and to interview child sexual abuse victims.

Subject: Response to Accusations
Dear Friends and Supporters of Hearts with Haiti and the St. Joseph Family,
On November 8th, 2011 the Board of Trustees of Hearts with Haiti voted unanimously to commission an independent and objective investigation of the allegations against Michael Geilenfeld and the St. Joseph Family. Hearts with Haiti remains supportive of Michael and of the St. Joseph Family, and believes strongly that the St. Joseph Family homes are safe and positive places for children. While this is our belief and our efforts to fund-raise and support the work continue, it is important to us that these charges be answered in a responsible manner.
Yesterday, December 5, 2011, without knowing when the investigation began or the details of its execution, Mr. Davis? communications appeared to disregard his own demand for the very investigation he now challenges as invalid in advance of its conclusion.
The execution of this investigation will remain fully objective and independent. Therefore, Hearts with Haiti will have no further comment on the matter until the Board has received the report, in which Hearts with Haiti will have no input.
In addition, Hearts with Haiti is aware that the United States government has also been investigating the allegations. Hearts with Haiti and the St. Joseph Family will continue to cooperate with the authorities of the United States and Haiti.
Mr. Davis? unauthorized use of the same mass distribution list used by the St. Joseph Family to send updates on the outstanding achievements of this ministry is unfortunate and disreputable.
Hearts with Haiti and the St. Joseph Family wish to apologize for compromising your contact information to such individuals.
Sincerely,
Geoffrey S. Hamlyn
Executive Director
Hearts with Haiti

Mr. Sibert,
I apologize, I do not speak or write French or Creole.
I have visited St. Joseph's Home for Boys in October of 2010 and October 2011. Upon returning several weeks, I learned about the sexual abuse allegations regarding Mike Geilenfeld. I have talked and exchanged many emails with concerned people on both sides, read postings on the internet. I am convinced that at minimum, Mike Geilenfeld and the St. Joseph communities need to be thoroughly investigated.
I have many questions. Please forgive my long list of questions.
· Is the Haitian Govt. investigating Geilenfeld?
· Is the US Govt. investigating?
· Are the two governments cooperating?
· If Geilenfeld is an offender, how has he been doing it for so long and getting away with it?
· Hearts With Haiti Foundation (located in North Carolina, USA) raised $500,000 in 2007, $250,000 in 2008, $400,000 in 2009, and $2 million in 2010 (see this report ). St. Joseph's has a $6 million capital campaign underway to rebuild two orphanages (St. Joseph's Home for Boys and Wings of Hope). Does it cost this much in Haiti to build two orphanages?
· How about operating costs - could they be as much as $500,000 a year for three orphanages (Trinity House as well).
· If Geilenfeld is an abuser, how much does it take to buy off the social services (IBSER)?
· Is he paying people off to look the other way?
· Who inspects the orphanages in Haiti?
· Is any governing body, the IBSER perhaps, inspecting the St. Joseph's orphanages?
· If so, can you get a report proving that St. Joseph's has been inspected?
· St. Joseph's claims the IBSER as well as the US Embassy exonerated Mike Geilenfeld in 1991 when he was accused of sexual abuse. Do you have official documents that reflect this claim?
· Why don't graduated orphans speak out against him, if they have been abused?
· What can naive Americans do to facilitate stopping sexual abuse as is alleged against Mike Geilenfeld?
· John Duarte signed a letter written in December of 1990 defending Geilenfeld against sexual abuse charges. The newspaper articles I have read say Duarte was convicted for sexual abuse he committed in Port au Prince and Labodie. One article I found says Duarte helped at a mission in Port au Prince in the early 90s. Was this mission St. Joseph's?
· Are Duarte and Geilenfeld part of a network of "humanitarians" in Haiti perpetuating sexual abuse crimes?
· Have you met Don Lojoie of Windsor Star (Windsor, Ontario). He wrote about the John Duarte case in Labadie and Cite Soleil. I hope you two collaborate. Please call him.
I hope you have time to reply.

OPEN LETTER
December 8, 2011Geoffrey HamlynExecutive DirectorlHearts with Haiti27 Horne Street
Raleigh , NC 27607Dear Mr. Hamlyn,Fully Independent and Objective Investigation?Two days ago you made the following announcement: "On November 6, 2011, the Board of Trustees of Hearts with Haiti voted unanimously to commission an independent and objective investigation of the allegations against Michael Geilenfeld and the St. Joseph Family…the execution of this investigation will remain fully objective and independent."Yet, in the same letter you say, "Hearts with Haiti remains supportive of Michael (Geilenfeld) and of the St. Joseph Family, and believes strongly that that the St. Joseph Family Homes are safe and positive places for children."Do you hear yourself? You've issued the verdict before an official investigation by law enforcement professionals has concluded.In a separate letter, Pastor Rick Barger, Founder and Executive Director of the Haitian Timoun Foundation, makes a different point: "…We believe…that even the slightest allegation of abuse should be reported to the proper governmental agency or their designated agent for investigation. We hold less faith in non-governmental investigations as such processes are often subject to detractors…because of the current investigation, we have suspended fundraising efforts for them pending a clean exoneration of all charges."The Voices of the Victims of Child Sexual Abuse Will be HeardLike you, Rev. Barger maintains his support for Mr. Geilenfeld:"We have long been aware of the 20 year accusations against Michael Geilenfeld. We are also aware that there has not been one investigation that failed to clear him of all charges."I am not entirely sure what Rev. Barger means by "20 year accusations" (I think he means twenty year-old accusations), but to clear matters up, the allegations of child sexual abuse being brought against Mr. Geilenfeld span a period from 28 years ago to the near present.(N.B. One wonders how many child sex abuse allegations, no matter how long ago the abuse is alleged to have occurred, an individual can have on his or her resume before the Hearts with Haiti trustees disqualify such a person from having access to children at your orphanages in Haiti.)Sadly, Mr. Hamyln, neither you nor Rev. Barger make any mention of the courageous individuals who have put aside their own desire for privacy to testify that they were raped and sodomized by Mr. Geilenfeld when they were children.Protection and Safety of Abuse Victims and WitnessesBefore I continue, I want to make it very clear to you that you and your fellow HWH board members are to be held responsible and accountable for the safety and well being of the abuse victims, witnesses, supporters and others who have information about crimes being committed against children by Michael Geilenfeld.As trustees, you are mandated to oversee the care and well being of the children at the St. Joseph 's Homes. Therefore, you must immediately suspend Mr. Geilenfeld from his duties in Haiti and return him to the United States until such time as law enforcement authorities have completed their investigation. In addition, you must ensure that Geilenfeld is not able to threaten or intimidate victims and witnesses, as he has done over and over again in the past."Kangaroo Court"I have already likened your 'fully objective and independent"investigation to a 'Kangaroo Court."Here's what you must do:1) Call the police with your suspicions. Contact ICE - Homeland Security Investigations, the Haitian National Police, United Nations Police and the Haitian Child Welfare office.2) Remove Mr. Geilenfeld, a U.S. citizen, from Haiti until the investigation is completed. Ensure that Geilenfeld has no further contact with potential witnesses and/or victims. Make a public announcement to this effect.3) Get out of the way of law enforcement professionals. Forensic investigators are specially trained to investigate child abuse and to interview child sexual abuse victims.Sincerely,Paul KendrickFreeport, Maine207 838 1319 (cell)---------------
