How The Hidden Ramon Desage Helped Lebanon

Ramon DeSage, Cadeau Express CEO/Founder, is a noted chocolatier and businessman. He is well-respected in Las Vegas for providing the highest quality beauty products and chocolates to the hospitality industry for use in their hotels as "the chocolate on the pillow" and the complimentary shampoo and conditioner provided to hotel guests. However, the "hidden Ramon Desage" has done many good works all over the world.

Mr. DeSage was born in Lebanon, the son of a physician. After completing his college education in Paris, Mr. DeSage went to work for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This early experience was the first diversion Ramon Desage took and shaped the course of his life-long passion for philanthropy.

While his charitable works can be found all over the world, Mr. DeSage never forgot his Lebanese roots. The people of Lebanon have benefited from his charity with improved roads and bridges, new hospitals, shopping centers, telephone and electric power lines to remove towns and villages, and wells to bring clean water to villages that didn't have a water supply. Mr. DeSage built a home and school for orphans, and has generously supported other orphanages that were in need.

Hundreds of students from poor families have bettered themselves thanks to Mr. DeSage's product of labor and generosity in establishing college scholarships for deserving bright young people. The "hidden Ramon Desage" has truly given back to those less fortunate.
