Jamie and Ali McMutrie, as described so aptly by a web posting of Pittsburgh's News Channel 34, "have a significant connection to many orphaned children of Haiti. They volunteered as operators of an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, since 2002 and served as the primary caretakers for close to 130 children doing everything from feeding and caring for sick childen, to seeing to their educational and social development, to aiding in the adoption process." Much of America has seen these ladies via numerous media outlets (CNN, "Ellen," and more) working to keep Haiti in the news and on our minds following their humble approach to a truly heroic, life-saving evacuation of 54 children in their care from the BRESMA orphanage (

also in the margin) to learn about their work to develop Nouvo Vilaj, a self-sustaining and "green" community, for orphaned children in need of families.
