The Tiburon Gang

The boys from Tiburon mostly came with the clothes on their backs so we gave them some t-shirts and underwear this morning to hold them over for a while. They were grateful. Gonna wait for the ship to come in as we hope there will be clothing and footgear on it for all the children. If not, we will be purchasing what they need.

Processing

Today is processing day for the boys from Tiburon. Their biographies are being recorded, birth certificates confirmed and names of relatives being listed. Once that is compiled, we will be sending someone to Tiburon to verify each child's story and getting signed approvals from the "parent" or other authority. Files for the boys will be copied and sent to the Department of Human Services so they know what is going on in their department. In light of the now infamous Baptist missionaries' blunder in attempting to rescue the children in PaP and bring them to the Dominican Republic, I thought it important to share with you the necessary bureaucracy we have in place which ultimately protects the children.
