In 1999 the orphanage relocated to land donated by the Fanjul’s Central Romana Corporation, 15 minutes from Casa de Campo
-
The new facilities were financed by three Italian men, Casa de Campo owners Egidio Mazzocato and Mauricio Guarnier, and their friend Luciano Pagan
-
Sonia Hane partnered in 2005 with prominent advertising executive and Casa de Campo owner Charles Decker, who founded “Friends of Niños de Cristo” later called the Charles Decker Foundation. An account of this is here, page 1 and page 2.

In 2008 Rotarian Luciano Pagan invited Sonia Hane to Italy where she was made an honorary RI member and the club donates to her orphanage (page 29.) RI is also involved with the Gates Foundation.
-
In 2014 Casa de Campo owner singer Marc Anthony’s foundation, Maestro Cares, co-founded with Henry Cardenas, funded a boys home for Niños de Cristo on land donated by Central Romana Corp

This group is run by Deborah Sigmund, and Izzette Maccoby Folger is on the Board of Directors. Threads by @anolegion and @bumbleberries.
- The Charles Decker Foundation
Listed as a reference is David Searby, who was the U.S. Embassy in Haiti’s spokesperson under HRC during the 2010 earthquake and aftermath, here and here.
Shocking as well is this, on the CDF website:
A number of the children, usually in their mid teens, have spent a year or two with American families they met while visiting the orphange.
He also mentions Innocents at Risk/Deborah Sigmund as a helper to his foundation.
"The Most Efficient Charity Large Charity in America" as ranked by Forbes Magazine. The Chairman is Jonathan Falwell, a son of the late Jerry Falwell. GFTW is connected to the Virginia church Jerry Falwell founded. JF once accepted $2.5 million from intelligence operative and cult leader Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church to help shore up Liberty College, and apparently may have worked for the CIA and/or Mossad.
Bill Clinton received the 2016 Global Humanitarian Award from Marc Anthony and Henry Cardenas’ foundation.
Some of the Orphanage's Many Supporters
Valerie Wertheimer, wife of multi-billionaire co-owner of Chanel, Gerard Wertheimer, and Action Innocence
Guest of honor was Valérie Werthheimer, president of an international aid foundation called “Action Innocence”, which based in Switzerland, France and Monaco, donates monthly to the Orfanato Niños de Cristo
Action Innocence was founded in 1999, the same year Ninos de Cristo moved close to Casa de Campo. Its activities include
Valerie Wertheimer also runs the Action Innocence orphanage for sexually abused children in Santo Domingo (two hours from La Romana.)
Piaget was commissioned to create a diamond watch for an auction to benefit Action Innocence. It is a fingerprint but does it symbolize mind control, pedophilia, to those in the know, you decide (picture in link.)
Enrico Citati and Orietta Pietrobelli Citati
Enrico Citati is/was Honorary Vice Consul (see text) source for Italy in La Romana, meaning he could help push through paperwork, perhaps. His wife is vice president of the orphanage foundation.
Celebrating a labor of love! Orietta and Enrico Citati host a cocktail of thanks for the supporters of the Orfanato Niños de Cristo orphanage
Orphanage's US Address is Shared With Storage-Related Businesses
The US address for the orphanage is 1408 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown, Pennsylvania.
Hopefully this is nothing -- it is shared with storage-related businesses. They are associated with Lou Gilmore, a Casa de Campo owner, as well as his son Louis A. Gilmore III and others.
Lou Gilmore was briefly quoted in a Washington Post article about the Menendez case at Casa de Campo; and here is his Facebook page.
Some of the businesses:
- Miller Buildings, Inc. from their Facebook page: "Miller is the leading manufacturer of relocatable self storage buildings."
The page links to their website, Miller Building Systems.
They are also in Kentucky and Connecticut.
Miller Buildings, Inc., dba Miller Building Systems, had government contractor status until 7/25/2007. (Source www.sam.gov, page won’t archive.)
A listing for Miller Buildings links to two villas for rent at Casa de Campo, presumably Lou Gilmore’s properties. Startling but probably an error.
Miller Building International also makes metal buildings; I do not know if it is connected to the Gilmores, I haven’t had time to look into it.
Argus on Open Corporates I don’t know if any of the other Argus Properties, Inc. listed on the Open Corporates link are connected to the one in Pennsylvania
Mr. Storage principal Lou Gilmore has developed 25 real estate projects totaling more than 1 million square feet over the last 30 years, including 15 self-storage facilities
- I did not look into this one -- a wellness business operates out of the back building at 1408 Bethlehem Pike, it provides chiropractic, massage, and other services
