Pras will be performing at this year\u2019s Hedge Fund Rocktoberfest.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_2_0_1_13185029776611131\">Including Haiti ALTSO currently has 19 programs in 15 countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America. \u201cWe are truly honored that Pras is willing to use his time and talent to get involved with ALTSO,\u201d says ALTSO\u2019s co-founder, hedge fund manager C. Mead Welles. \u201cThe magnitude of what we can achieve in terms of truly transforming these children\u2019s lives through simple surgical procedures and the providing of prosthetics is just incredible. Pras sees that and we are delighted he wants to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Editing by Alex Akesson<br \/>\nEditor for <a title=\"hedge funds\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a> is a premier <a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hedgeco.net\">hedge fund database<\/a> and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
