Corporation History
While
AACO is mainly a New York State organization, the issues it covers
demanded from the major communities needs has always expanded its
services, reaching out to children and elderly all over the globe.
Regarding elderly, the lack of communication due to the lack of
language and cultural barriers and inability to adjust in the
American’s social and cultural life, beside their old age and bad
health, has caused their deprivation and isolation. Many of them are
traumatized by the past oppression and war; many others are victims of
torture.
