Harold Charles: Rags to Riches man

Now this is a story that should inspire you to go out this week and work your socks off.  It is a story that proves that with hard work, we all have a chance of achieving our dreams in this world.  This is the story of Harold Charles, a poor Haitian boy who came to Turks & Caicos Islands with nothing and worked as an airplane cleaner.

Harold Charles not only bought and now owns the airline, but became a major player in today’s global economy and a philanthropist.  His inspiring life story is the subject of an upcoming feature documentary, hosted by Fmr. Ambassador to United Nations Andrew Young and directed by Emmy award-winning Will Harper.

This short film was created for 2008 CEE Global Awards, produced by The GlobalTouch Group in Nassau, Bahamas, where Harold Charles was the recipient of the prestigious Glass Ceiling Award.  Listen to Harold’s story by clicking on the link below.
