PITTSBURGH — Two sisters who helped bring 54 orphans from earthquake-ravaged Haiti to Pittsburgh returned to that country in an effort to rescue 11 more orphans.
Jamie and Ali McMutrie, of Ben Avon, had run the BRESMA orphanage in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.
The 11 orphans still in Haiti were supposed to be adopted by French families, but that hasn't happened.
The sisters were accompanied by a lobbyist for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, whose staff helped rescue the other orphans.
