DEMINING WITH PARTNERS
On February 8, 2001, Mark
Hyman, Chairman and President of Global Care Unlimited,
Inc., participated in a signing ceremony with Pat Patierno,
Director of the U.S. Department of State Office of Humanitarian
Demining Programs (HDP), and Jernej Cimpersek, Director
of the Slovenian International Trust Fund for Demining and
Mine Victims Assistance that earmarked $30,000 for the demining
of Podzvizd in Bosnia-Herzegovina. This event marked the
successful completion of a full-year education and service
learning project conducted by the students of the Tenafly
Middle School Landmine Awareness Club to raise awareness
about landmines and to raise sufficient funds to demine
an emergency area of their “sister” city of Podzvizd.
In addition, Mr. Patierno and Mr. Cimpersek delivered presentations
to the entire student body and staff of Tenafly Middle School
and members of the Landmine Club presented an oral reading.
