One more horror for Haiti kids

ED PILKINGTON AND RICHARD GOTT | PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - Jan 22 2010 13:42

There are only three books to be found at the Foyer de Sion orphanage in Port-au-Prince, serving the 18 children cared for here. There's a textbook titled Vive Les Maths!, and another called Histoire d'Haiti.

The third is a children's picture book in English called Prayer for a Child. It's a poem with illustrations, and begins: "Bless this milk and bless this bread; Bless this soft and waiting bed."

The book is lying on a rusty bunk-bed, with a thin, dirty mattress on top. There is no milk or bread. Since the earthquake the organisers of the orphanage have run through their last $100 and are down to emergency rations dished out to the children -- one meal a day.

A family in China made babies their business

The lucrative trade in newborns was fueled by an adoption frenzy that saw government-run orphanages paying for children who they then made available to Westerners.
