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.
