Hi,
Recently the Nation did a story on Wilfred Ole Saroni which I thought was so inspirational that I linked to it on my blog: Success Story from the African Diaspora: Mr Wilfred ole Saroni » The Displaced African Recently Mr. Saroni ran into a spot of trouble and people have of late been stopping by my blog to basically sling mud at the man. If anyone knows how I can get in contact with him, I would love to interview him and put his side of the story up on the blog. I think this is important especially since his name and my blog are now pretty well linked (I am on the first page of results for his name on Google). Anyone who knows how I might be able to get in contact with him please send me an email at masmilele@thedisplacedafrican.com or contact me using one of the options in the link below: Contact the Displaced African » The Displaced African Cheers

african path kenyans and their stupidity has arrived in america. Wilfred ole saroni: doubts raised on us-based kenyan businessman’s success april 25, 2008 01:20 am on march 22, 2008, i ran a story on african path about the successful business ventures of a us-based kenyan called wilfred ole saroni. There have been comments casting doubts on his purported success and his academic qualifications. However, these were not supported by facts, so i decided not to publish them. I now have fresh information with facts on how he has been running his business. Dennis shaughnessey of lowellsun.com presented this story. Nashua -- nursing students attending the holden medical institute are waiting for answers after the new hampshire board of nursing abruptly closed the doors to the facility on monday. Darlene laduke, a single mother from dracut, just paid her third-semester tuition bill. She was in class taking an exam when word came that the school was closing. She has looked into several other schools and discovered that many of her credits from holden are not transferable. "i have no idea what i'm going to do now. Everything goes down the tubes now," laduke said. "i want to be a nurse. I want to help people. I have close to $20,000 invested in this." wilfred saroni, a dracut resident who owns the institute as well as several other health-care businesses, came under scrutiny in september 2007 when employees at the lowell-based holden homecare services complained they were not getting paid, getting paid late or receiving checks that bounced. Similar complaints began coming into the state board of nursing last october, according to margaret walker, the board's executive director. The board requested an audit of the school's financial statements. Saroni did not comply. "november. Nothing. December. Still nothing," said walker. "we told them they could not take any new students. January and february, still nothing." saroni attended a hearing before the nursing board on april 17 and said he was in the process of working out an agreement to sell holden medical institute to premier education group, a career-training organization. Walker said saroni's name was listed as a member of the board of directors for the new company and the governing board rejected the transfer. "seeing his name on the list of directors was problematic,"walker said, adding that she did not see the documents until 4:30 p.m. The day before the show-cause hearing. James boumil, a lowell attorney who is representing saroni, disputes walker's claim. "nowhere in any of the documents does it say that wilfred saroni would be connected in any way to the new company coming in," boumil said, adding that walker knew about the deal several weeks before the hearing. "any suggestion to the contrary is incorrect." boumil said he came away with a "warm and fuzzy feeling" after initial talks indicated that the settlement was acceptable. "we were very encouraged. We all hoped that this was all going to work out. The school would remain open and the students would be protected," boumil said. "we did an awful lot of work and we were stunned when the deal was rejected. We believed we were on an acceptable path for everyone." boumil said all payments are up to date. "have payments been late in the past? yes," said boumil. But the legal wranglings mean little to students like mark karuki, a 26-year-old holden medical institute student from lowell, who was scheduled to graduate in august. "i just want to go to school and finish," said karuki, who has paid $2,600 of his $11,500 tuition bill. "what happens now? they have to do something. Holden is a good school with good teachers. The board of nursing needs to listen to us. Let us finish the year." walker met with students at the school on monday and explained the situation. She said the board is working to come up with a transition plan that would allow the students to continue to pay off their tuition, which would be placed into an escrow account until such time when arrangements can be made to complete their coursework. "i saw 53 very intelligent, very shocked and very hurt faces," walker said. "the board is committed to making this work. It's unfortunate that the students were the ones caught in the middle." carolyn shea, a mother with three children who lives in leicester, has been an emergency medical technician for eight years. "i figured i'd go to school for a year, get my lpn (licensed practical nurse) certificate and make a better life for my family," shea said. "the teachers were great. The curriculum was great and i was picking up some good and valuable skills. Then they started canceling clinicals and other classes and i knew something was wrong. They kept telling us not to worry. Now i'm worried." in september, the sun reported that employees of holden homecare services, which is owned by saroni and located in the former st. Joseph hospital building, were having problems either getting paid or cashing their checks. The company also had billing problems. At the same time, the company shut down its offices in west springfield and worcester. Saroni has owned several businesses under the holden homecare services umbrella. Nobody at saroni's home on 8 presidential drive in dracut answered the door yesterday. Source: lowellsun.com
