US Worker Held In Haiti Jail - Says He's Being Extorted

Paul Waggoner, humanitarian relief worker in Haiti and co-founder of the international NGO, Materials Management Relief Corps (MMRC) has been apparently unjustly detained in a Haitian prison. Add your voice to call on Senator Kerry to exhaust all means available to him and the U.S. government to ensure Mr. Waggoner's immediate release. 
Over the past couple of days, I have been contacted independently by 3 credible individuals who have brought the plight of Paul Waggoner (aka Little Paul) to my attention.  Each one of these veteran Haiti volunteers have had first hand knowledge of Little Paul and have vouched for his passion for the Haitian people and the contributions he has made to Hopital Adventiste since the Big Quake.

  1. All former volunteers at HAH should be actively writing congressmen, the President and the State Department to urge them to help Paul Waggoner. That could be one of us!!
