Ten thousand people, that’s right, ten thousand (10,000) people – about 1,000 of which are “refugees” from the earthquake – will benefit from electrical power to their medical and dental clinic (see pictures), street lights, public use buildings such as schools and libraries, plus future business will benefit from this important step up in infrastructure, which is environmentally safe and sustainable. We plan to build a 40kW hydroelectric power plant to provide electricity 24/7 to the village of Duchity, Haiti.
A great team with great relationships in the village of Duchity, Haiti and with other NGOs in the region, John Ball and The Naperville Sunrise Rotary have been working there for 10 years building schools, churches, medical & dental center (see pictures), improving the water system and more. The list goes on. Those of you who have been to places like Haiti know if you simply look around, you see the need is endless.

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.
