Oley girls whisked out of Haiti

Several Oley girls on a mission trip to Haiti for Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church were whisked from a compound last week by members of Global Rescue, who were hired by Brotherhood Mutual, the trip's travel insurance company, according to a report in the Reading Eagle today.

The group said the commandoes showed up at a compound Croix des Bouquets Saturday and took them to the Port-au-Prince airport and back to Pennsylvania. The group had been in Haiti to work at a church and orphanage when the earthquake hit, according to the Eagle. Among the group were Megan Trupp, 21, Sara J. Trupp, 19, and Lauren Williams, 20, all of Oley.
