Born in Terre Neuve (Gonaïves Haiti) on July 26, 1962, he is the last born of his family. At a very early age, Mr. Adelson lost his mother and later, his dad.

Thus, in 1992 he joined the National Police of Haiti as a teacher of self-defense. Mr. Adelson has worked with many international organizations in the humanitarian field including World Vision where, in 2000, he was appointed a communal supervisor. Later he created his own organization called Compassion for the Poor and the Orphans of Haiti (COPH), to help the poorest people in his community. Eventually, Mr. Adelson founded Institution Mixte Jean-Philippe Adelson, a school he created in memory of his painful childhood. His dream is to provide to the children of the community access to the education that he had been deprived of during his childhood.
