El Roi Haiti, the Christian humanitarian relief organisation for which the nurse works, reports that an American nurse and her child have been kidnapped in Haiti.
A posting on El Roi Haiti’s website claims that Sandro Dorsainvil’s wife Alix and their young child were kidnapped on Thursday morning.
According to the post, the two were photographed as they participated in their community mission on the campus of El Roi Haiti close to Port-au-Prince.
The Haitian people are Alix’s friends and family, and she considers Haiti to be her home. Alix is a genuinely caring and kind person. The statement read, “Alix has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to alleviate the suffering of those who are in need because she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus.
According to a video on the organization’s website, Dorsainvil, a former nurse from New Hampshire, relocated to Haiti when her husband asked her to help out at a school there.
According to a statement made to CNN by a State Department official, US authorities are aware of the kidnappings and are cooperating with Haitian authorities and U.S. government interagency partners.
The spokeswoman stated that the safety and security of American people abroad is of the utmost importance to the U.S. Department of State and our embassies and consulates worldwide.
