PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI -- Brother St. Vistal Pierre started a girls orphanage in December 1990 known as Centre d'Accueil FCCM in the Port-au-Prince area known as the City of God, one of the poorest areas of Haiti. Today, the city of God orphanage shelters 45 girls ranging from ages 3-16 and many of these girls do not even know their own last names.
"I am from a family of ten children and my family could not afford all of us." says ten-year-old orphan Geferline who has spent three years away from her family in Jeremy, Haiti.
