The Story of Two Little Boys

The Story of Two Little Boys

Little Peterson, the one with the round little face, and his brother Jepth-te, are back in school and doing great! You would think that these two little boys, who have been through a horrendous situation in Haiti, would be sad and frightened. This would happen to any child in the U.S. who has been through what these two little boys have been through.

It was a little over a month ago that Pastor Ludis (Director of our Love A Child School) came to me late in the afternoon, asking me to “take these two little boys in” until their parents came back. Their mother is a devout Christian who attends our church. I don’t know if their father is a Christian or not.

This Christian family lives near Pastor Ludis. However, on the other side, also near Pastor Ludis, is a Voodoo woman who hates the Christian lady. Well, the Voodoo woman had a baby, who died. She accused the Christian lady, the boys’ mother, of killing her baby with Voodoo! She went to the Police Station to accuse the Christian mother of killing her baby! The police went to the home of Peterson and Jepth-te’s mother, but she had fled in fear. So, they arrested their father! Pastor Ludis asked me to keep the boys until their parents came back.

Well, their mother has never returned, and their father has fled to the next town somewhere. We are still trying to locate them! In the meantime, our Love A Child children have “wrapped their arms” around these little boys and welcomed them into our family! They show no signs of stress. Peterson and Jepth-te are well behaved, well mannered, and doing great in school. (I hope they “rub off” on our kids! Ha!) This shows that they have good parents. I hope that we find them! But until then, “love is something we do!”
