FRANK RUFF
Accountant

Frank Ruff is a Certified Public Accountant from Florida who actively assisted us in gaining our own 501-C3 non-profit status, which enables supporters make tax deductible donations directly to Moringa Community. Frank’s guidance has helped us immensely through this difficult and time consuming process. We would be lost without Franks able and effective help every step of the way.

Jeremy Lejeune
IT Consultant & USA Office Computer Networking Systems Developer

Jeremy Lejeune has majorly assisted the Moringa USA Office computer systems set up, repair, and establishment of our secure networking for interoffice communications.  Jeremy's effectiveness in this role has been enormously valuable to the workings of our business office, file and data transfer and record keeping.  Jermey's day job is systems manager and IT director of River Crest Golf Club located in nearby Phoenixville, PA.  We would be lost here in our Moringa USA office without his skilled help.

Christian Kalitsi
Cultural Advisor

 Christian Kalitsi is a Ghanaian professional currently working and living in America.  A very valuable advisor to Moringa on all things Ghanaian, he has also been a resident of America for over 10 years.  It is critical for the success of our project to be able to understand as intimately as possible the nuances of the culture and society in Ghana.  Christian’s contribution is invaluable as our guide, permitting us to avoid missteps and receive guidance only available to a native of a country.
