A crowning achievement of modern America is a single event that was televised on July 20th, 1969. Many readers may remember that day, but many more were not yet born. It was a day when America proved again that anything is possible. It was a day heralded by a now iconic astronaut as:
“One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.”
If you have not guessed yet, that man was Neil Armstrong, and the occasion was the moment that man first set food on the moon, wearing the spacesuits of our own American astronauts. But that day – that achievement – reaches deeper than a single moment by a spacecraft. It would not have been possible without the dedication of thousands of Americans working together.
Landing on the moon was an emblematic moment that represented years of engineering, scientific achievement, and cooperation on the part of countless Americans. From President Kennedy’s call to action at Rice University in 1962, it took Americans less than a decade to walk on the moon. From family members of the crew to the number crunchers and physicists at NASA, landing on the moon was a unifying collaboration that raised the spirits of Americans everywhere and reminded us that we can reach the stars, as long as we have a vision.
There was an astounding amount of meticulous labor that was poured into the Apollo moon mission. Mr. Armstrong’s carefully chosen words convey a wise and unifying sentiment. America, though acting as a leader in the world, acts on behalf of all mankind. This historic moment proved that the beauty of American cooperation is not just in the quality of our accomplishments as a nation, but also in the spirit of unity and welcome that those achievements convey to the whole world.
Many citizens consider the American space program a shining example of the resolve and genius of the American people. While American history is decorated with momentous events, both laudable and terrible, there was an event that unified all people and all nations in wonderment and awe. That event was mankind’s first step on the moon, accomplished by the cooperation of our American space program.
Landing on the moon electrified the world with a sense of unity and pride in human achievement. People across the globe were able to gaze in wonderment at the moon footage, listen to Neil Armstrong’s proclamation that this was a “giant leap for mankind.” This moment in 1969 went beyond nationality and ethnicity. Forgotten were the political distinctions of nations and cold war politics. Landing on the moon was an accomplishment for the entire world.
CWD Constructionknows the lagging economy has forced many homeowners to stay in a house far longer than originally anticipated. The drop in home values, CWD Construction points out, has left many homeowners upside-down in mortgages, giving them no choice but to remain until the economy improves.
CWD Construction has addressed a widespread need in the market by helping homeowners renew their existing homes. Additionally, homebuyers with money to spend are finding great deals on fixer-uppers—homes that can be bought at a bargain in exchange for some renovation work. Because many individuals are not qualified to do this work on their own, CWD Construction offers custom home makeover work, helping restore homes that have fallen into disrepair.
According to CWD Construction, once a home has gone into foreclosure, it can sit empty for months. During that time, it falls into disrepair, a state that only adds to any damage that disgruntled residents might have done before vacating the premises, CWD Construction explains. CWD Construction begins by breathing life into vital living spaces with custom interior trim, new paint and flooring.
Once the living areas are renewed, CWD Construction turns its efforts to the bathroom, installing new showers with custom tile, new custom vanities with granite, and quality plumbing fixtures that make all the difference in a bathroom’s appearance. When it comes to bathroom projects, the team at CWD Construction works efficiently and quickly, always keeping in mind that the bathroom is a vital part of the household and needs to be in working condition as soon as possible.
The premier room in a house is the kitchen, and CWD Construction’s kitchen remodels are in high demand. With custom-built cabinetry that rivals those found in the most expensive luxury homes, CWD Construction turns the kitchen into a showplace. Services include granite countertops, exciting tile backsplashes, and upgraded plumbing fixtures. CWD Construction can even add a beautiful custom mantle surround at the cooktop and a custom work island.
Finish off the project of turning a fixer-upper into the home of your dreams by adding a fireplace or screened-in porch, both services CWD Construction provides. When you work with CWD Construction, you’ll get the services of its in-house interior designer, Sonia Dohm, to help you pick out the fixtures, flooring, and paint colors that will best express your personal style.
Sonia and Chuck Dohm are available to work with customers to determine if CWD Construction can help turn a fixer-upper into a dream home, even before a purchase has been made. For more information, visit CWD Construction online at http://www.cwdconstruction.com
The following segment aired on “The Balancing Act” on Lifetime Television. Joining the show was Giulio Verillo to discuss his new book.
The Balancing Act: Our next guest has lived quite the life, he’s travelled all over the world working with some of the biggest names in the hair styling industry; Vidal Sassoon in London, L’Oreal in Paris, John Paul Mitchell, and Jaques Dejohn’s in New York. No doubt a hairstylist by heart but now he adds a new title, that of author. With us this morning is Giulio Verillo, author of “A Slap on the Back of the Head.” Good morning.
Verillo: Good morning, thank you for inviting me.
The Balancing Act: I’m glad you’re here, I’ve got to tell you, when I first picked up the book I said “a slap on the back of the head, what’s that?”
Verillo: That means that is how my father used to wake me up every day, not for school but just for life in general. It was a good slap on the back of the head.
The Balancing Act: Kind of like my dad, you know that slap that says “wake up.”
Verillo: Exactly. I think we all need a few of those slaps on the back of the heads these days…
The Balancing Act: Let’s talk about your family, you are from Italy, your mom and dad were born and raised there, right?
Verillo: Yes, and so was I.
The Balancing Act: Talk to me about that.
Verillo: Well, I was born in Italy; we came over when I was about five years old. They had quite the great life but my dad and my mom decided that because of the economy they were going to come here; they were going to give us the American dream. They gave up everything, the selfishness, you know, everything for them, and turned it all for everything for us.
The Balancing Act: And I know for you it was hard because you were only five when you came to the states and no doubt a new language, new culture, new friends, and I read in your book pretty tough times for you.
Verillo: Yeah, I was bullied quite a bit when I was younger and I didn’t know that I had what they call learning disabilities. I call them gifts today. I was diagnosed later on by years with ADD, OCD, and dyslexia and phonics challenges, so I wasn’t the best student. However, it was rough because, you know, being downed by teachers and being bullied, your self-esteem is pretty low; I had quite a rough time.
The Balancing Act: I can only imagine, but yet you really made it. You kept moving forward, which you talk about in your book a lot, and you make it to college but yet one day you tell your father—and I’m sure he gave you a slap on the back of the head—that you are not going to finish college.
Verillo: Believe me; I was ducking what I was trying to tell him at the same time, because I didn’t know what was going to come.
The Balancing Act: I can imagine what my dad would have done to me.
Verillo: But, yeah, you know, letting them know that this wasn’t for me, I was trying to think of any excuse to make them proud of me, I’m like “I’ll go in the marines, mate they’ll shake me up.” That was tough but dad just stood there with that stare that was worse than a slap, that disappointment, you know, your brother is a doctor and what are you going to be now?
The Balancing Act: Oh…
Verillo: You know, change your name is pretty much what he was saying through those eyes (laughs).
The Balancing Act: And then you tell your dad you’re going to become a hair stylist. I’m going to assume that did not go over well.
Verillo: No, he was probably thinking is there more you want to tell me? But first of all, it was full of pretty girls; who doesn’t want to go to school where there are all pretty girls? That’s one incentive to get there, but as I did that I knew I had a gift, a gift that I didn’t understand I had before and it came naturally and it was fun and it was addicting, it was—I had a passion for it.
The Balancing Act: And you really became successful, Giulio! I mean, you really became a very famous hair stylist and successful in your own business.
Verillo: I had so much passion for it that I did it for the love not for the money. I knew the money would be the applaud for the great job that I’ve done, but my father most importantly, you know, he went from that disgusted look even though he supported me, to that okay, you got it going on. You’re not your brother, you’re not the doctor, but okay you’re doing well.
Verillo: That was the one thing I thought in the beginning he wouldn’t let me do, but as we got more comfortable, I would tease him as I would cut his hair. I’m telling him I’m going to make him look like Frank Sinatra, I was going to make him look like this, you know, so we did have some fun time even though he was a very strict man.
The Balancing Act: I know a turning point for you also is when you get married and you have two beautiful boys, tell me about your kids and what that did for you.
Verillo: Oh, having two boys, you know, even though he wasn’t there to slap me, you could feel the slap, like “Wake up, you’ve got two, how are you going to teach them, what are you going to give them like I gave you? The etiquette, the respect, the integrity, and you’ve got to model that process like I modeled it for you.” So everything comes back and I took that seriously, too, and that’s how I raised my kids.
The Balancing Act: It’s a great autobiography, what inspired you to write it?
Verillo: It wasn’t a story about me; it was a story about letting people know that through acts of love and life lessons, you can have that journey to success. No matter what your past was like, no matter how many failures, which I call discoveries, they are not failures they are discoveries and you learn from your discoveries and you can do anything you want when you fall in love with you first. When you fall in love with yourself you can make it anywhere.
The Balancing Act: To end, I know your dad played a huge role in your life and I know he passed on and in your book you write about seeing him for the last time. It’s pretty poignant what you did, can you read to my viewers that part of the book?
Verillo: I would love to read it. I have a chapter here at the end that I’ll share with you: “At the funeral home I was invited to give him a last haircut. I went in to the embalming room and I found him on the stainless steel table waiting for me. I cut my father’s hair for the last time, and as I did, I continued to think about all that I had learned from my father. It was silent, it was quiet, but he was laying there as if he was smiling and I could hear him speaking to me in the sense of ‘I’m proud of you, you’re successful, I’ve done well, you’ve learned everything, go on and teach it to everyone else and thanks for the great haircut.’”
The Balancing Act: Thank you for your time, thank you! Great story, thank you, Giulio.

Religious organizations have long spearheaded various community service programs. In fact, community-based religious organizations are a major provider of valuable services for the needy, and have been for centuries. These days, religious services are organized differently than they were centuries ago, but the basic philosophy remains the same. That basic philosophy requires dedicated citizens who are willing to give their time, knowledge and resources to the goal of bettering the community. Some common modern day volunteer supported social services include marriage counseling. The perspective of religiously based counseling tends to bring a very patient and forgiving attitude to resolving marital problems.
Another prevalent religious community service is youth groups. In this age of educational cutbacks, youth groups are on the rise as an alternative form of social and educational support for children who would otherwise fall through the cracks. Many youth groups are formed locally, sometimes as a reaction to cutbacks in after school programs. The programs create a haven for youth to get together for support and fun activities. Volunteers run many of these youth activities. Activities include tutoring, sports, arts, and crafts.
Many of these organizations need volunteer workers. Not everyone has extra time to volunteer, but people still want to help as they are able. Some organizations need assistance to the needy in ways that don’t require volunteer hours per se; for instance donations of food, clothing, guidance, and shelter. Many programs actually rely heavily on donations to provide their services. So, if you find that you do not have the time to give to your local charitable organization, you might just be able to donate cash so that these organizations can provide give critical help to those in need.
According to James P. Stuckey, the Atlantic Yards project is more than a real estate development; it is a promise to the community. Presentation Solutions gets the details.
Presentation Solutions: Thank you for joining us.
James P. Stuckey: I appreciate the opportunity to speak about this great project.
Presentation Solutions: We understand that the Atlantic Yards project comes with the very first Community Benefits Agreement in New York City…
James P. Stuckey: That’s correct. It is an agreement between the builder and eight separate Brooklyn communities.
Presentation Solutions: Can you give us some specifics of the agreement?
James P. Stuckey: The CBA focus on community amenities, small business, housing, jobs, and environmental assurance.
Presentation Solutions: Tell us about the employment benefits for residents.
James P. Stuckey: Nearly half (45% total) of all jobs created will be sectioned off for minority and women workers. As well, a new training program has been established to assist individuals in developing real-world skills that can be used long after this project is completed.
Presentation Solutions: We understand that the project has a commitment to affordable housing?
James P. Stuckey: Of the 4,500 rental properties that will be available, half of those will be offered to lower income families. 225 of these will be set aside for senior citizens.
Presentation Solutions: And there is a clause in the agreement that helps small businesses in the area…
James P. Stuckey: Absolutely. During each phase of the construction process, and after completion, anywhere between 3%and 20% of all contract dollars will be spent with minority and women-owned businesses.
Presentation Solutions: There’s been a lot of talk about the community amenities that will be available once this project is complete; can you fill us in on that?
James P. Stuckey: For one, there will be a healthcare center.
Presentation Solutions: What about the childcare facility?
James P. Stuckey: What is special about the childcare facility is that it combines care for youth as well as senior citizens. While the two groups will not be together, the building is connected and each group will have access to the atrium.
Presentation Solutions: The Barclay Center, the future home of the Nets basketball team, is the highlight of the development. Will it be available for public events?
James P. Stuckey: The plan is to open up the arena to community groups for 10 or more events per year.
Presentation Solutions: That’s got to be expensive…
James P. Stuckey: On the contrary, the rates will be more than reasonable.
Presentation Solutions: Aside from basketball, what other events will the center host?
James P. Stuckey: It is a large venue that will seat between 18 and 19,000 guests. This opens up the opportunity to host tennis, boxing, and concerts along with other community events such as the circus. It’s important to note that part of the CBA allows for a set number of game tickets for sale to the community – extra care has been taken to include the city’s youth.
Presentation Solutions: The CBA sounds like it will enhance the area quite nicely. Was offering this contract a condition prior to development?
James P. Stuckey: No, it was not. It’s all voluntary. That being said, it is a legally binding contract, which just proves that the Atlantic Yards project really was initiated for the betterment of the community.
Presentation Solutions: That’s fantastic. We know that you personally have been committed to green development for many years. Can you tell about the environmental friendliness of the project?
James P. Stuckey: All equipment with over 50 hp will be equipped with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel. As well, the goal is to ensure that a substantial amount of building materials are recycled. All 16 buildings, plus the arena, will be LEED certified. (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
Presentation Solutions: We have also heard that the project is working closely with city officials to address any problems as they arise.
James P. Stuckey: As with any large-scale construction project, issues can occur. Areas that will be under constant monitoring are air quality, traffic, noise, and pollution.
Presentation Solutions: Mr. Stuckey, we appreciate your time today. We thank you for speaking with us.
James P. Stuckey: Thank you very much for having me.
Presentation Solutions: Do you have any final words to add?
James P. Stuckey: Just that, from its initial inception, this project was always intended to enhance the community and I certainly hope that it will do so for many generations to come.
James P. Stuckey is a man with decades of experience in his passion: real estate development. He has worked at the NYC Public Development Corporation, Gronich & Co., and Forest City Ratner Companies, to name a few. Currently, James P. Stuckey is the CEO of his own green development firm, Verdant Properties. LLC®.
Theodore Stroukoff has encountered many challenging situations in his work as a travel nurse. But his 27 years as a figure skating coach have prepared Theodore Stroukoff for a variety of situations, as well as boosting his people skills.
When asked what skills he gained from his years of coaching, Theodore Stroukoff points to several. The first is creativity. In helping students prepare for competition, Theodore Stroukoff says that he was forced to tap into his more artistic side. This creativity now helps Theodore Stroukoff in his work as a travel nurse, when he has to think outside the box as it relates to taking care of his patients.
Theodore Stroukoff also notes that he learned persistence during his time as a figure skating coach. Watching numerous young skaters show up day after day, continuing to practice even when competition was fierce, Theodore Stroukoff says that he discovered an important lesson about the benefits of hard work. The students also inspired Theodore Stroukoff with their focus and commitment, he says. It is a philosophy Theodore Stroukoff carries with him into his nursing work today.
One of the most valuable benefits Theodore Stroukoff gained from coaching, he says, was learning innovative ways to explain technique to students. Theodore Stroukoff finds himself regularly using the skills he learned as a teacher in his nursing duties. Whether it’s helping a patient learn to use crutches or teaching a first-time mother to care for her newborn baby, Theodore Stroukoff has fine-tuned a talent for patiently explaining techniques to others.
Patience was another trait Theodore Stroukoff says that he honed as a figure skating coach. According to Theodore Stroukoff, the patience he learned as a teacher has translated well to his work as a travel nurse.
While Theodore Stroukoff thinks back fondly on his coaching days, his work as a travel nurse has led him to challenges he never imagined. Theodore Stroukoff says he has been able to work in a variety of facilities and situations and doing so has allowed him to stretch his abilities as a nurse, taking him to the next level professionally.
The following segment aired on Incredible Discoveries. Joining the show was Avena to discussdog health.
DR Marketing Group: If you’re a dog lover, you’re no stranger to their constant scratching and biting at their dry, itchy skin. It’s common canine behavior. But when is an itch more than just an itch? Your pet’s silly antics and wild behavior could be a bark for help.
Avena:Wintery weather, fleas and allergies are just some of the culprits behind itchy, flakey skin.Excessive itchiness known as pruritus can be dangerous for a dog, and scratching can stimulate inflammatory reactions in the skin and make the problem worse.
DR Marketing Group: No matter what the cause is, one thing is for sure – the itchiness is not just unpleasant, it can be downright unbearable. We’re going to put a stop to the dryness and discomfort once and for all because you’re about to discover a remarkable anti-itch, skin soothing system called AvenaPro6.It’s the best selling skin therapy for dogs in Japan, and AvenaPro6 quenches skin with clinically proven ingredients.
Avena:It’s designed to work in 3 ways that not only soothe skin on the surface, but actually repairs it.With AvenaPro6 you calm the itch, seal moisture with a protective barrier and restore healthy shine to a dull, dingy coat. It’s fast with visible results after just one bath.No other product does what AvenaPro does, and it rivals the other professional tonics that I use in my pet spa. Dogs love it.
DR Marketing Group: Does your dog constantly lick, bite and rub its fur for relief from itchy skin?
The other oatmeal shampoos and medicated shampoos and things really never seemed to work. What would you do to stop the itch? We’ve tried different creams, medicated soaps and even different dog food – everything.
Avena:Don’t just stop the itch. Now you can prevent it and save thousands of dollars on pet products and vet bills. We introduce theAvenaPro 6, the only all natural skin soothing system for dogs that is best in show.
DR Marketing Group: What does AvenaPro 6 do?
Avena:Avena Pro 6 lavishes your dog tooth to tail with a blend of 3 oat technologies that calm the itch and irritation while deeply conditioning dogs’ allergy prone skin, leaving behind a beautiful, healthy shiny coat. The secret is triple oat complex, an exclusive blend of 3 oat therapy’s including the best skin reliever of all Avenanthramides which clinical studies show can dramatically relieve itchy, irritated skin, scaling and skin dander by 94%.
We know that Avenanthramidesare very powerful anti-inflammatories that are non-steroidal in nature.
DR Marketing Group: All natural Avena Pro 6 in so clean and easy to use and all you need to keep your lovable pet itch-free and looking like the top dog every day.It seems that whether it’s a pedigree or mutt, dogs still share one thing in common; they scratch like crazy. What causes this?
Avena:Dogs can be itchy for every reason that you and I are, and then some, depending on where they itch, bite, scratch, chew will often times give us reasons why. Their skin is the largest organ on their body, but it has very limited number of ways it can react.
DR Marketing Group: How can their skin get irritated?
Avena:Dryness, redness, and itchiness are all problems. And did you know that a dog’s skin is actually thinner and more fragile than ours? So we really need to take very good care of that skin.
DR Marketing Group: There are lots of products out there that you can buy at convenience stores, pet stores, doggy spas, yet our dogs are still scratching uncontrollably. Why do these products fail us?
Avena:The problem is many of them address the itch in only one way – they only clean, only moisturize, or only medicate. You need to do all three to get to the root of the cause.
DR Marketing Group: What do most products do instead?
Avena:Many of them provide temporary relief by washing away the allergens and irritants, but they do not provide sustained skin relief by addressing the skin irritation and potential inflammation. Some contain harsh chemicals that aggravate skin conditions, and even steroids.Steroids are often used to minimize allergic reactions and reduce skin inflammation but can have side effects such as increased appetite, change in mood and they can even depress the immune system.
DR Marketing Group: To think that some of the soaps that itch treatments we trust may actually expose our pets to these potential dangers is very frightening.How does Avena Pro 6 work?
Avena:Avena Pro 6 unleashes 3 different oat active emollients to address the underlying causes of itching called triple oat complex. One to calm the itch, another to protect and moisturize the skin and follicles and then another to clean the hair coat.
DR Marketing Group: Active oats – what does that mean?
Avena:It means they have powerful therapeutic properties. It’s very unique. They have the ability to actually get into the skin and restore health.
DR Marketing Group: What about shedding and pet dander? If you have kids, you don’t want them breathing in this dead skin.
Avena:Dander makes up a huge percentage of the junk floating in the air of our homes. Clinically studies have shown that the Avena Pro 6 system decreases scaling and dander by more than 90%. Avena Pro 6 does all of this and then some.

Presentation Solutions recently spoke with Dr. Pierre Bennett, the Pastor of God’s Luv International Ministries Church, who says that even the lowest citizen of a town can rise up and find himself worthy in God’s eyes.
Presentation Solutions: Thank you for joining us, Dr. Pierre Bennett.
Dr. Pierre Bennett: Thank you for having me.
Presentation Solutions: Dr. Bennett, you speak of the story of Joshua quite often. Why is that?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: It’s because I feel that the story of Joshua has many good messages.
Presentation Solutions: Can you give us an example?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: Joshua was told to take the city of Jericho, which was considered a sinful city. Ironically, the only person he is told to spare within the confines of the town is the city’s prostitute.
Presentation Solutions: Why is that?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: Rahab the harlot – the prostitute – had enough faith in the Lord to hide His spies in her home. She was in danger herself. She had enough faith to make room for one of God’s people. She asked that she be spared.
Presentation Solutions: And she was?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: Yes in one move, one touch, one act delivered her from her lifestyle prior to that event and was a blessing to her and to her entire family. Amen?
Presentation Solutions: Isn’t it amazing?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: God can use whomever He wants to. The least likely person will be the one that can be used for the mightiest task
Presentation Solutions: The passage in Joshua 6 verses 17:18 is: “Because she hid the messengers that we sent; and you, by all means abstain from the accursed things lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things.” Is that right?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: Yes, that’s right.
Presentation Solutions: So, all because she was able to get past her fear and act in faith, God was able to spare her from the destruction of the city…
Dr. Pierre Bennett: The moral of the this story is that when you get right with God you will reap His prosperity.
Presentation Solutions: Yes, and in the story Joshua spares the prostitute and her entire family and then he curses any man who rises up and builds the city
Dr. Pierre Bennett: So not only did he take the city, and burn the city for everything that was not like God, but only kept the gold and silver, which went into God’s treasury.
Presentation Solutions: And the prostitute was spared to live and go on and live a better life than she had in the city of Jericho?
Dr. Pierre Bennett: Amen.
Presentation Solutions: Dr. Bennett this is all very interesting but I’m afraid that we’re out of time. Thank you for sharing your insight with us. We are sure our readers will find this inspirational.
Dr. Pierre Bennett: I certainly hope so. If it touches just one person then I have done God’s work.
Dr. Pierre Bennett may be reached at God’s Luv International Ministries Church at (703)395-1430.
Investment firm Kummetz Corp LLC offers financial opportunities to residents in Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil.
The Kummetz Corp LLC has many projects in South America with Brazil as its primary focus for its diverse community and wealth of untapped resources. Additionally, the Kummetz Corp LLC has a prolific presence in Colombia and Bolivia, where their initiatives have helped to jumpstart the economies of these countries. In both countries, the Kummetz Corp LLC has invested in gold and platinum mining. With gold prices at an all-time high, the Kummetz Corp LLC realized that further exploration of this untapped natural resource was needed.
Specifically in Bolivia, years of economic hardship have left many previously prosperous mining companies without the equipment or workforce they need. This has further fueled poverty and homelessness, says the Kummetz Corp LLC. By inserting cash into mining projects, the Kummetz Corp LLC is able to stimulate this area’s economy and produce significant profits for its clients. In Colombia, the Kummetz Corp LLC is exploring over 9,000 acres of previously unexplored mining territory.
The Kummetz Corp LLC has spent a great deal of time and money in Brazil, where they have numerous housing and production projects at any given time. With ongoing construction projects building manufacturing plants, as well as affordable housing, the Kummetz Corp LLC has created countless jobs in the country. The Kummetz Corp LLC makes every effort to use only environmentally friendly building products. In fact, the Kummetz Corp LLC has recently begun the manufacture and export of cement that will be used across the globe in a variety of projects.
As well, the Kummetz Corp LLC has helped catapult Brazil to its position as a leading exporter of beef. By developing meat packaging and processing plants, the Kummetz Corp LLC can keep costs down by having a hand in the production process, every step of the way. Brazil exports over 1,000,000 tons of beef per annum; the Kummetz Corporation believes that the country is capable of considerably more output, and hopes to significantly increase the country’s production capabilities over the next few years.
The Kummetz Corp LLC also puts a strong value on the arts, and has made exhaustive efforts to bring Brazilian culture to the entire world. The firm does this through the Kummetz World Foundation – a charitable organization dedicated to helping entrepreneurs with limited resources capture the attention of the public to showcase their products. The Kummetz Corp LLC also funds scholarship and mental health and well-being programs for Brazilian citizens.
About Kummetz Corp LLC – Founded by Eloi Kummetz and registered in Brazil, as well as the United States, the Kummetz Corp LLC is a financial investment firm dedicated to responsible business practices
