American nurse Alix Dorsainvil gladly would give medical care to the captors who held her and her daughter hostage for nearly two weeks this summer in Haiti, she said in her first public comments since the pair’s release this month.
A U.S. nurse who was kidnapped in Haiti last month with her young daughter spoke via video this week for the first time since her release. Alix Dorsainvil appeared alone in the video and sat in a manicured garden with crickets chirping in the background, thanking people who prayed for her. The nearly five-minute video in which Dorsainvil spoke entirely in Haitian Creole was posted Monday on the website of El Roi, the Christian group founded by Dorsainvil’s husband that offers medical care, education and other basic services in Haiti’s poorest areas.
An American nurse and her daughter have been released after being kidnapped from a medical mission in Haiti.

Ms Dorsainvil is married to the founder of El Roi Haiti, Sandro Dorsainvil.
Nurse Alix Dorsainvil and her young child were freed after being kidnapped in Haiti roughly two weeks ago. The kidnapping drew attention to the gang violence and chaos in the country.
