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:

Chief Executive

Mr. Harold Salomon
Chief Executive Profile

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.

Mr. Salomon in an MBA graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, 
New York.

He has held management, Accounting Auditing and senior Financial Analyst 
positions at Citicorp, The Topps cie Inc. in New York, at AT&T and, at The

Finance/ Accounting & Auditing at Hytec, Inc in Los Alamos, New Mexico

MISSION AND PROGRAMS
Mission

The American Haitian Association for Medical, Economical, & Educational 
support founded in 2006, grew out of the need to help the poor in Haiti, who 
more recently, while trying to escape their misery, have become food for the 
shark infested waters of the Bahamas.
To reduce the number of people being killed by consumption of "fake 
Medicine", AHAMES delivers, free drugs from the United States or Canada as 
well as medical care to the poor with the help of volunteer American health 
professionals.
The organization delivers free meals to school children, and pays the 
scholarship of those originated from no or low income families.
AHAMES also feeds and provides health care to poor and malnourished women, 
and the elderly.
To reduce gastro intestinal disease that is rampant in many poor countries, 
the organization builds water wells to provide safe drinking water in areas 
where the locals walk for miles to have access to contaminated water for 
daily use.
The organization also supports several livelihood enhancement projects to 
promote economic self sufficiency.

Programs

AHAMES' programs include a community medical center, and several clinics, a 
scholarship fund for poor children, and low or no income families, several

people during the organization's first year of operation.
