their
most ambitious project to date, “Project
Excelsior”.
Project Excelsior seeks to establish a
Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster
Relief
(HADR) coalition in conjunction with the
United States and other interested
nations. Utilizing a retrofitted, former
U.S. naval vessel (a Tarawa-class LHA),
a former cruise ship and other vessels,
COH seeks to deploy state-of the-art
hospital facilities, multinational
medical personnel, extensive air-lift
capability, heavy equipment and
pre-positioned emergency supplies in
support of
catastrophic occurrence. The COH
Foundation has extensively refined this
initiative over a period of 12+ years,
including reviews by members of the
White
House, the United States Congress,
senior leadership at the US Department
of
State and the US Department of Defense,
various (US) Agencies, key
non-governmental organizations (NGO’s)
and other international stakeholders.
There’s an immediate need for such
capacity, and it is estimated that this
valuable initiative will benefit in
excess of 20 million lives.
Currently, Michael is working with MK
Inc and its consortium members, on
project-based funding projects within
the Dominican Republic and throughout
Latin America. On April 19, 2022 the
consortium, Consorcio Astillero de
Manzanillo Unidos, was awarded a project
to build out a large-scale shipyard in
the Montecristi Provience, Dominican
Republic. The project will create
thousands
of jobs through a hands-on job training
program as well as a long-term program
within the primary and secondary
schools. In 2021, Armando Christian
Perez,
p/k/a Pitbull, joined MK as an owner of
the company to promote job training and
education. His success in owning SLAM
schools in the United States will be
replicated in the Manzanillo
project.
The shipyard is strategically located in
northwest part of the country, in the
closest port region to the United
States. The buildout will be in phases
and
when completed will have a projected
cost of nearly $500 million USD. It will
be
a multiuse facility for yachts and cargo
ships with their own safe and secure
space. The location is a national
security interest for the United States
government. The project has the support
of the US government from the White
House, Congress and DFC as well as the
State Department.
