Greetings from Djibouti!
As many of our colleagues know, Matthew Hall , Partner here at Goldstein Hall, is a Captain (Sel) in the US Navy Reserve. Currently, Matt is doing a tour of duty at the US Naval Base Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, Africa. While serving at Camp Lemonnier, Matt continues to be in touch with our business, but he has also been familiarizing himself with the surrounding community near the US Camp. As such, Matt has become aware of the incredible poverty and significant numbers of homeless children in the area in need. This Fall Goldstein Hall will be outlining a special fundraising effort to support an established school that Matt has connected with in Djibouti that aids the over 500 homeless children daily. In the meantime, Matt sends his best to everyone. We are deeply proud of his service to our country and his efforts in Djibouti.
