Harold B. Salomon, American-Haitian Association for Medical Economical & Educational Support (AHAMES): Rich Murray 2008.05.13
I met Harold B. Salomon and his wife and two young sons at a high school graduation dinner at Maria's in Santa Fe Saturday for another friend, our accountant, and his wife, in honor of their son. He is taking unusual personal responsibility for direct personal foreign aid -- which should be renamed, "human family aid" -- , so I wanted the Santa Fe Complex networks to be aware of his purpose and needs. Likewise for 6 years I have been giving $ 80 monthly, and last July a desktop computer to a family of five Tibetans in the small, very spiritual town of Rewalsar, Himalchal Pradesh, India, about 30 miles southeast of Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama resides -- Yeshi Hara Choedon will soon upgrade from phone access to broadband DSL, so we'll be able to share video chats weekly from her networks to Santa Fe Complex: Don Begley, Managing Director don at sfcomplex.org Santa Fe Complex, 624 Agua Fria Santa Fe, NM 87501 www.santafecomplex.org 505-216-7562 505.670.9432 (cell) In mutual service, Rich Murray 505-501-2298 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.americhelp.org/help.html http://www.guidestar.org/pqShowGsReport.do?partner=justgive&npoId=100874588 JustGive.org leave search Powered by GuideStar Search Results | New Search American-Haitian Association for Medical Economical & Educational Support (AHAMES) Also Known As: A.H.A.M.E.S. 108 Agate St Los Alamos, NM 87544 GENERAL INFORMATION Contact: Harold B.

Salomon is a humanitarian who has seen first hand the plight of the Haitian people, and has used his own limited financial resources to help. He has witnessed the level of corruption in Haiti and how U.S. resources given for the poor have been diverted for the benefits of a few. He wanted to change that by getting involved. He has devoted his two houses, one a three levels and the other a one level house to setup a medical facility in Haiti for the poor. He had also purchased a 0.61 acre of land to build a hospital to serve a much larger population estimated at about one million people with no immediate access to any hospital. Mr. Salomon thinks that accountability will allow good heartened donors and non profit organizations to come to the rescue of the poor, the malnourished, the sick, and the starved Haitians. He hopes to use his expertise and experience in accounting, auditing and finance to meet all donors expectation of good accountability, and satisfying result.
