He’s in the states to collect money for his yeshiva. Like every other ad on Yeshiva World and other Jewish news sites, that are designed trick you into clicking on a headline that was worded to sound like an amazing story while it’s just another sob story to play with your emotions for a donation. The advertisements about his heritage are designed to play with peoples emotions and have them think that by donating to his yeshiva you somehow will merit great zechusim more than any other Tzedakah cause, including the starving children in your own neighborhood.
This is a classical case of palginan.

I try avoiding the center because of people that are so focused on the hoshanos cards that they can barely make out that there is someone in front of them.
