financial assistance, may be approved to support relevant publications and/or academic research; No harm is envisaged as resulting from the activities of MAHG; MAHG may support academic research relevant to the area of benefit; Insofar as there have been charges (“fees”) for attendance at events and for procurement of publications of MAHG these have been kept modest and arguably within the range of all. The poor have not therefore been disadvantaged.
