The K. family has ensured that Robert Mikelsons, as an intermediate station between Germany and the Netherlands, stayed in a children's home in Africa for a long time. The son of the female owner of that African children's home lives in Amsterdam and is one of the many criminal assistants of the K. family.

RIGA - Arrested pedophilia suspect Roberts Mikelsons, who has been behind bars for two weeks in a Dutch jail, has attempted suicide in his cell several times and is now under constant watch, reports De Telegraaf. He had tried to hang himself...Mikelsons has said that in 2009 he worked briefly in the kindergarten De Toverlantaarn, and was fired because the administration and colleagues believed that he was stubborn and hard to work with. Even though he worked only nine days in the kindergarten, Mikelsons confessed to abusing one more child there. The child’s parents have already been informed about the confession.
Information has also surfaced that Mikelsons at one time led games and drawing activities at the Netherlands Latvian Society School Saulite in The Hague. He had been an instructor there on four occasions, according to Melita Hartger-Rumberga, the society’s chair. She is convinced that Mikelsons made no sexual advances toward the children, as four or more parents were always present, and he was never alone with them.
.. He was charged with possession of child pornography materials in Germany in 2003, RTL News television reported. The police in the German city of Heidelberg found child pornography materials on the Internet, which lead them to Mikelsons’ computer. He was arrested in June 2003, and received a one-year sentence, which was suspended for three years.
Mikelsons also worked as a volunteer in an orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya, in the fall of 2008. The orphanage housed 17 children at the time, of which most were girls between the ages of 5 and 15. About 60 children attended the school next door.
The director of the orphanage, Lucia Kajiva, and the school expressed shock that Mikelsons is a pedophile, but as far as she knows, no one at the orphanage was subjected to his sexual advances. “He seemed like an innocent child to me, and someone you can trust,” the director said...Kajiva said that Mikelsons left a good impression on her. Mikelsons had told her that he suffered violence from his mother when he was young, however, she did not specify whether it was physical or sexual.
According to De Telegraaf, Mickelsons was able to work with very young children without any checks on his criminal record abroad.
Tracking down the director of the Kenyan orphanage was a bit tricky as it turns out the spelling of her surname was incorrect. Lucy Kayiwa is the correct name:

Mama Lucy (everyone calls her that, but her proper name is Lucy Kayiwa) is Ugandan, which conferred on her a certain Swiss-style neutrality amid the general mayhem. Mama Lucy has lived 40 of her 64 years in Kibera.. Three of her children live and work in the United States; another is thriving in Holland, with his second wife.
Kibera is in the south-west part of Nairobi

Coincidentally, I came across another very recent story about

St. Vincent’s is co-championed by Christina Stellini, Carla Lundstrom and Diane Yongue (different last names but all related!). They have been fundraising and working with the organization since 2009 when St. Vincent’s began experiencing a severe funding crisis and almost had to close its doors.
Robert Mikelson was at the orphanage in 2008. Interesting timing..

Lucy Kawiya escorted Zipporah, Vicky, and myself to their rescue home inside Kibera slum. Along the way we passed the offices of
Carolina for Kibera (
http://goto.gg/kibera-slum-develoment/), another GlobalGiving partner that works in Kibera. Within two more blocks you can find
Hot Sun foundation (
http://goto.gg/kenya-slum-filmmaking/) and a few other NGOs.
I looked up at the iron roofs atop the makeshift housing on this dirt street. Some of these shacks had TV antennas, and one even had a satellite dish. “You see that?” I said, pointing them out to Lucy. “Of course.” “It kinda complicates the typical impression outsiders have of slums.” “That’s why we tell people, ‘Just come here and walk around. See for yourself where we work.’”..
The St. Vincent’s Nursery school was a colorful little house on the edge of
Soweto village (Kibera) that serves 87 kids ages 3 to 7. Mini tables and chairs in blue, green, red, and bright yellow filled the three classrooms.
..I was inspired by St. Vincent’s staff, these volunteers, and the several community members that we met along the way. Earlier this week, when I asked Lucy to explain to other NGO staffers at a meeting how they got on GlobalGiving in last November’s Open Challenge, she says “it was a miracle. We were in desperate need of funding and we used GlobalGiving as an opportunity to reach out to all our past supporters.” On behalf of Lucy, Miriam, and others, I’ll thank you for the “miracle” that you made possible by giving a little something to St. Vincent’s in Kibera.
