The assassination of Haiti’s president is the latest challenge for CNN Heroes serving their nation

Three CNN Heroes shared their stories of the new danger and uncertainty they are now facing in the days since Moise’s killing. Using soccer and education to keep kids out of gangsSince 2007, Patrice Millet has been using soccer to educate children in some of Haiti’s poorest slums.Millet, a 2011 CNN Hero, founded Foundation Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours (Foundation of Our Lady of Perpetual Help), or FONDAPS. The organization provides free equipment, coaching and food with the aim of teaching children how to become responsible citizens.Duval, named a CNN Hero in 2007, and L’Athletique d’Haiti have been making a difference for more than 30 years. They offer children in some of Haiti’s most impoverished neighborhoods an opportunity to get off the streets, play a sport and receive a daily meal. They even take their teams to competitions around the world. Duval describes Haiti as in a “state of shock” since Moise’s assassination. He says he understands that some people were unhappy with the late president’s leadership but strongly condemned the killing.”There is nothing that requires such a barbaric action of violently taking his life,” he said. Duval said he worries this assassination will set a bad precedent that will further erode Haiti’s fragile democracy. However, these concerns are only strengthening his commitment to his cause and the young people he serves.”This kind of behavior is not enough for me to abandon or to change my vision. In terms of what I can do to contribute to a positive development of this nation … it reinforces the reasons of what I’m doing. That means trying … to do everything I can to have the most impact towards the people who need it most.”
