[Bookmark] Liz and Steve Alderman turned tragedy into triumph eight years ago after losing their son to terrorists on 9/11 in the Twin Towers. Liz says, “Peter was too young to have decided whether he wanted to leave his mark on this earth. We have decided to leave a mark for Peter.” The Peter C. Alderman Foundation’s mission is to heal the emotional wounds of victims of terrorism and mass violence by training health care professionals and establishing clinics in post-conflict countries around the globe. In just three years, foundation-trained physicians and other personnel, such as psychiatric nurses, village elders, midwives and Peter Alderman clinics, have touched more than 55,000 people -- including children from the post-conflict countries of Cambodia, Rwanda, Somalia, and Sudan. According to Liz and Steve, this is just the beginning. Tune in to be inspired and touched by these self-described “ordinary” people.
