Bart Goldstein was only sixteen when he suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in a car accident in 2001. No Stone Unturned is the saga of Bart’s struggle to regain his life. Told from his father’s point of view, the book chronicles the family’s ordeal, and flashbacks fill in Bart’s life since he arrived from Korea at the age of five months. Considering every possibility in their search for remedies to Bart’s catastrophic injuries, the Goldsteins explored several promising alternatives, including craniosacral, hyperbaric oxygen, sensory learning, and vision restoration therapies. Bart’s remarkable recovery resulted from a combination of conventional medicine and alternative and emerging therapies.
TBI has now become the “signature injury” for thousands of wounded warriors returning from Iraq and Afghanistan; this timely book offers profound insights into what survivors and their families must face. Anyone struggling with this “invisible” disability will find the book insightful, inspiring and useful.

How can we make a difference in helping Haiti rebuild?
By partnering with Haitian business, the diaspora, nonprofit organizations, the Haitian government, the United Nations and individuals like you on key projects that improve people’s lives.
According to David Stillman, Executive Director of the Public Private Alliance Foundation (PPAF), the aim of reducing poverty can be met by networking with business, government, academia, the financial community, non-profits, the UN, and others, which the PPAF promotes. By stimulating entrepreneurship and investment, it is possible to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals.

Thank you to Marlynne Bidos for presenting at last week’s meeting about Konbit Pou Edikasyon.
Konbit Pou Edikasyon “Working Together for Education” (KPE) was born in response to the problem of child domestic servitude in Haiti. The group became aware of children’’s vulnerability to domestic servitude when it traveled to Haiti on a mission trip in 2008 to sponsor a boys soccer team from Cité Soleil. To prevent children from becoming domestic servants, KPE began providing education, health, and emergency assistance for nine at-risk children. Today, through the generous support of donors, KPE supports students from four neighborhoods in Haiti.
