You might want to read up on it before making the mistake of thinking this was an honest effort to do anything but steal children from a vulnerable population and sell them under the guise of saving them. They were told repeatedly by officials in the DR and in Haiti that their plan was a bad plan and would result in arrest. They then lied to the parents in order to get them to give up their children, didn't give the kids food or water, and tried to cross the border any way. The ringleader has a long history of fraudulent practices and is in fact facing multiple lawsuits here in the states over previous "nonprofits" that did not deliver or failed to pay employees. She's a con artist and this was her biggest scam to date.
