A friend with no account on OCMB asked me to post this here.

What is Scientology doing in the Orphanage Business?

On January 12, 2010 a Force 7 earthquake hit southern Haiti. Before the quake there were an estimated 380,000 orphans in Haiti; now there are many more.

Two weeks later on January 26, John Travolta flew to Port-au-Prince in his Qantas Boeing 707, with his wife Kelly Preston, and a few boxes of emergency meals and other supplies. This plane has been completely refitted internally to a very luxurious level and now has space for only 34 passengers instead of the original 150.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01104.html

The Travoltas flew back immediately. With them went Claude Reginald Jean and his four children. Reggie is said to have dual US/Haitian nationality. From several sources we learn that he owned two orphanages housing as many as 200 children. His own children had only 90-day visas but were given scholarships, allegedly worth $10,000 a year each, in a local Scientology school. Virtually all the other children flown out of Haiti at this time had US nationality and genuine adoption papers.

By then the deal between him and Scientology was complete. According to Jani Dawson posting on February 19, 2010:

"The orphanage is a done deal..the Scientologist have set up a web page and have 175 children in their care, according to their recent press releases and they are already offering sponsorship of the children. I am all for helping orphaned children…but Scientology just sees an opportunity to exploit and profiteer from the tragic disaster.

"A Mr Claude Reginald Jean a Haitian and a Scientologist previously ran 2 orphanages in Haiti prior to the earthquake. Most of the children are from the 2 orphanages. Mr Jean ran the Haiti Dianetics center (AKA Global Pioneers) there. Mr Claude Jean relocated his family and children to Florida on a return flight with John Travolta after the earthquake and his children were given full scholarships to the Scientology-run Clearwater Academy in Florida. Several Scientology front groups are raising funds to support the orphanage which is now called Future Haiti.' The Scientologist is Gary Coulston (sic) [corrected: Cary Goulston] who works from a Clearwater address. Although you don’t see any hint Future of Haiti is a Scientology site it is. http://www.thefutureofhaiti.org/

A Scientology press release dated February 1 confirms that the land for the orphanage was given to the CoS by Mr Claude Reginald Jean http://rogueimc.org/en/2010/02/15834.shtml

"Florida groups have united their talents to start the rebuilding process for Haitian children, by creating an orphanage and school, called Future of Haiti, so the children can start to look toward a better future, leaving behind a shattered past. The initial core groups are El Especial Newspaper, Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers, Youth for Human Rights Florida, Clearwater Academy International, Washburn Academy, Delphi Academy of Florida and International Youth Theatre. Also involved are four sisters, Barbara, Doria, Elena and Michela Schneider "who today are giving a home and education to 116 orphans".

"Church of Scientology Volunteer Ministers have been providing emergency services for the past 20 years and are currently on the ground in Haiti organizing this effort. The orphanage and school will be located just minutes outside the Haitian airport. Reginald Jean has donated a football-sized piece of land enclosed with walls, and many of the walls are still standing. And for the walls which have crumbled, the Volunteer Ministers are paying local Haitians to rebuild the walls, creating not only a safe space for the children, but also creating jobs and self pride for Haitians. Working with the Volunteer Ministers are three Haitian teachers currently taking care of the orphans and who are very excited about the opportunity to give these children an education.

From the Bay News 9 video on Vimeo, Melanie Snow reported (1.33) 'Jean will go back though. His business crumbled, so he donated the land to an orphanage'. Gifts of school supplies and non-perishable food are solicited for the orphanage being built 'on the land that Reggie donated'.

The shore story varies. According to one fund-raising newsletter,
http://www.thefutureofhaiti.org/english/Welcome.html
While working midst the earthquake disaster, to bring help and hope in Haiti, volunteers found a local person who was running three orphanages. All of them had collapsed, leaving the surviving children without shelter, food or water...and more importantly, a family. We decided to help these vulnerable children and found available land to do so. . .

You would never guess they knew Mr Jean since the 1990s.

Another attempt at an acceptable truth:
http://www.thefutureofhaiti.org/english/Welcome.html
"Basically there is a man named Reginald who is the president of a non profit Haitian organization called GRODYSH. They were managing 4 orphanages in Haiti. When the earthquake happened, all the orphanages crumbled. Some of the children died and the rest were in the streets. Reggie and his workers [searched] the area and found most of the missing children to bring them to his house. He is currently using his house and his land to house the children and keep them in a safe location and off the streets. They have found 116 of their children. He is planning to donate his house and turn it into an official orphanage.. ."

Let's get this clear. Reggie's business was the orphanage. It was the orphanage which crumbled. The land was a football-field sized walled compound located next to the airport. In February it was used as a holding compound where all the surviving children perhaps as many as 175, were being cared for by Scientology volunteers. The formula and diapers and MREs JT flew in were for the CoS orphanage..at least that's where most ended up at. The Clearwater Academy raised a lot of money/supplies for Haiti.
The school in Clearwater is a Scientology school and Reggie is a long-standing Scientologist. They have since moved the orphans to a new building elsewhere. We believe this new building is at 2 Impasse Jean, Route SOS, Santo 19, Croix de Bouquets, Port-au-Prince Haiti HT6310.

The chances of it being a Restavek Orphanage are high. The overwhelming majority are run in this manner. It's an acceptable part of life in Haiti. Mostly the children are contracted out for labor. Often families will hand their children over to a Restavek Orphanage,with some promise of schooling-sometimes a small amount of money exchanges hands.

The children may work as street vendors or do maintenance, janitorial and manual labor or may even be trained as pickpockets or in other criminal activities (Oliver Twist comes to mind), or they do housekeeping and help raise children or cook but the sex trade is most profitable. What's most common is they go to a wealthy family(by Haitian standards) who uses the child for household labor. They usually receive food and a place to sleep and any tiny amount of money earned goes to the Orphanage.

Most would be right to consider this slavery and child trafficking but in Haiti the majority of the population find it an acceptable way to earn a living. They keep little or no records. There is very little in the way of government regulations or any kind of government child protection services. Considering the Haitian government system is extremely corrupt. Violence and abuse occurs often but not in all cases. Abuse may occur within the orphanage, or with the host family.

Governments from around the world have voiced their concerns to the Govt of Haiti about this. Little has been done to address the issue. Outside influence has done little to change this.

This press release by Narconon, a Scientology drug rehab front group, predates the earthquake.
http://www.24-7pressrelease.com/press-r ... 111323.php
August 06, 2009 -- A recent project that Narconon is assisting with includes helping to provide food and support to impoverished areas all over the world. Narconon's most recent project, The Global Pioneers' Haitian "Adopt an Orphanage" group, lets people contribute directly to designated orphanages in Haiti. The idea being that the people can pick and choose from items the orphanage needs most and send it out with no middlemen. The current campaign is designed to get private food donations being sent to 20 orphanages in Haiti. These shipments will help feed more than 2,000 children of all ages . . . "

Now fund-raising is being done in the name of a long-standing (18 years) tax-exempt organisation called Bless the Children. You don’t see any hint it is a Scientology Site but it’s linked in Scientology press releases.

It is incredibly disturbing.

Having raised a few, the thing you notice about kids is that they grow up fast. These Haitian orphans are a potentially big labor pool for Sea Org, a group that likes to recruit children who are poor and powerless. That is how SO likes its new members: Poor, powerless, and programmable. The poor, regimented, barracks life of an orphanage is perfect preparation for Sea Org. If all these kids know is authoritarian, barracks life in which LRH is their only education, then DM's labor problems are solved for the next fifty years.

* Super Power Happens Only After COB has 1,000 New Staff. Maybe Super Power is staffed by Restavek orphans who become SO "religious volunteers" at age ten?

* Orphans who learn construction skills helping to rebuild Haiti have a transportable skill the Cult of Scientology wants. Someone needs to run the Cult's mills and rehab their old buildings. Haitian SO in their teens would be perfect for DM. He can threaten to deport them back to Haiti if they cause any problems. This is a script written in Hell.

* If the Travolta's flew in supplies for Scientology's orphanage and yet PR'd it as helping Haiti, then that is as dishonest and hypocritical as it gets. Travolta has always been disingenuous when it comes to Scientology, but his airplane flight really takes the cake if it was just a Scilon Fed-X. Were John and Kelly just another example of Scientology VM's walking over the backs of the dead to get free PR? It sure looks that way now. I wonder what DM has on Travolta? DM cracks his whip and Johnny Goodboy Travolta is airborne.

* Here is an example: Dana Reid joined Sea Org at age 14 and now works around electrical equipment. She works as an electrician for .38 cents a hour plus room and board:

Sea Org promo seems to be designed for non-thinking people. First Dana writes:

"I arrived to the Electrical Department Gold with plenty of intention but no previous training or experience in Electrical."

Then she uses this complete lack of experience in "wog" industry to make the following observation:

"Sea Org standards are far beyond any standard in the wog industry and that includes the quality of our electrical installations."

That aside, any exploitation of Haitian children in the Sea Org will most likely be short lived as the Scientology management structure collapses.

Don't you all just love the fact that, they not only use racial slurs amongst themselves, but they PRINT them for all the world to see? And they wonder why people see Scientology in a negative light.

Wasn't a young female Sea Org member electrocuted a few years ago while working on high voltage equipment?

Sarah Ehrlich was also raising money with her Help the Orphans charity for the same children
http://youtu.be/OIxh84iG_os
Cassandra Hepburn (actress)and Kerri Kasem (radio host) also were involved in raising funds
In all cases Scientology's involvement was hidden


there is alot more to it (including tragedy)

This story illustrates how scientologists think about children:

_ They believe children are adults in young bodies:

_ That as long as they are not PTS (connected at Anti-Social Personalities), they can be placed in danger because they are guaranteed to be free of accidents

_ That they can do the same work as adults

_ That they should "contribute" (work) in exchange for their keep.

This man, Mike Campbell, allowed a 10 year old child to follow him up a ladder onto a roof, "because the child wanted to help" (!). I'm sure Campbell had no difficulty with the child "exchanging" for her keep. But any person who knows 10 year old children, knows that they are awkward, they fumble, they are not physically developed enough to be able to perform such dangerous work. This event clearly shows how scientologists can be negligent towards children because of their crazy ideas about children.

Perhaps Daniel Montalvo can use this documented evidence in his lawsuit against the church, to show what the scientology environment is like for children. And this wasn't even a Sea Org member.

Without a doubt this illustrates the cults use of child labor. My question for Dana is, since the Sea Org standards are far higher than those in the WOG world, why didnt she score higher than anybody else regardless of their training?

I posted more details on WWP
http://forums.whyweprotest.net/threads/ ... st-1844303

Scientologist Claude Reginald Jean runs a group called "Grodysh" or "Group Dynamic for the Survival of Haiti"
see WWP for others associated with Grodysh

Claude Jean owned several restavek orphanages prior to the earthquake and some of his properties were destroyed
Claude hander over operation of the Orphanages to the CoS..for fund raising purposes and photo Op's

the Vulture Ministers set up camp near the Airport on Claude Jeans property

John Travolta's mission to Haiti was mainly to bring supplies to these orphans...as well as the many fund raisers afterwards.
Claude Jean brought his family back to Clearwater with John Travolta...Claudes Children were given full scholarships to Clearwater Academy. one fell to her death from Mike Campbell's roof while cleaning gutters

Claude also is involved in Cary Goulstons Global Pioneers
Claude also teaches at Washburn Academy and Clearwater Learning Academy and splits his time between Haiti and Florida
mostly fundraising for Grodysh

the members of the COS created the group the Future of Haiti run by the Schneider sisters and used other groups like Sarah Erlichs "Help the Orphans" and others...covertly raising money

The orphans are now back in Claude Jeans care..

Claude Jean is working with another Scientologist Bill Loftus (Bill is big on Kenaf seeds) Kenaf is from the Hemp family
Bill also uses Kenaf for system of building materials
http://www.environmentalhouse.com/
Bill also raising funds for a New Compound/Sweatshop under the name Together we can Foundation

Bill and Claude are working on a plan to house these orphans ..and have them harvest Kenaf and build kenaf burning stoves..and make building materials out of kenaf...

I am now certain on how far along they are on implementing these plans.. but Grodysh does have the property for this new facility
but it looks as if they have some framework of financing in place.

the Grodysh web site alludes to most of this plan being implemented
google Grodysh to find the web site

http://kenaftech.com/Together_We_Can_-_ ... roofed.pdf

along with drawings of the Walled compound..
