Ramin Farhangi, the son of the late Manouchehr Farhangi, at a ribbon cutting ceremony he helped finance in Mozambique.  This he has done on behalf of the Manouchehr Farhangi foundation, a philanthropic organization named after his father.  Mr. Farhangi was a successful businessman in Iran before the revolution and was able to establish and fund a very successful private boarding school in Europe.  Mr. Farhangi owned several pharmaceutical companies in Iran and was the founder of a resort on the Caspian sea, bringing to Iran, the concept of resort ownership.  ICS of Madrid, the school he founded in the South of Spain in 1980, was an answer to the needs of the Iranian high school students who needed a home immediately after the Islamic Revolution.  His philanthropic givings had always defined how Manoucheher conducted his life and now the spirit of giving is being practiced by his son and his reach is being felt in Africa.

This is great. Especially

This is great. Especially because helping Africa is now very fashionable. But it seems to me that Iran can use this help right now. And there are plenty of Iranian students who could use that help outside of Iran. I wonder if a rehab clinic, orphanage, scholarship fund, battered women's shelter, and of course schools are needed in Iran. Even outside of Iran, I'm sure there are Iranians living below the poverty line.

Of course, it's great helping those in need, but why all the way to mozambique. Hope it helps those people at least.
