Susie Krabacher, founder of the nonprofit Children of Haiti, which works with orphans in Haiti, has been warned and denied entry twice by Jamaican immigration authorities in the past four weeks.
She first arrived at Ian Fleming International Airport in Boscobel, St Mary, a few weeks ago but was denied landing.
A few days later, she again tried to enter the island from the Norman Manley International Airport (NMIA) in Kingston but was again denied entry.
‘Distressed and erratic’
The Sunday Gleaner Sources said her behaviour, described as “distressed and erratic”, came to the attention of Ian Fleming immigration officials, who became concerned and eventually imposed restrictions on her.
“My heart sank when I saw the pictures and I asked everyone to be careful. It was at Ian Fleming International Airport,” a well-informed source told The Sunday Gleaner“Someone called me, I made a few calls, and that’s how I got involved. The authorities held her overnight and brought her back on the first flight the next day. So I got the call, I made a few calls, expressed sympathy and urged care.”
The reason for the second rejection a few days later at Maryland International Airport in Nigeria is unclear.
According to the Haitian Children’s Organization website, the organization was founded in 1994 when Krabacher first traveled to Haiti and began helping people in Cité Soleil.
The statement said the nonprofit organization provides care and education for abandoned, orphaned and disabled children in Haiti and is located in Carbondale, Colorado, USA.
“Our organization has raised and invested over $40 million in a unique cause in Haiti dedicated to children with disabilities. Unfortunately, the government lacks the financial resources to care for these children, and most ‘orphanages’ funded by foreign aid only accept ‘perfect’ children who are better suited for adoption,” a section of the website reads.
