Russ Dalbey Helps Re-Build Lives In Sri Lanka

In Southern Sri Lanka, fishing is the livelihood of local villagers. However, in the December 26, 2004 Tsunami, triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake beneath the water of the Indian Ocean, many of the already very poor families in this geographic area suffered major emotional and material losses. Many people died, and survivors lost their means of income. Wives lost their husbands, families lost their homes, and children became orphans. A year later, conditions are still terrible. The Dalbey Wealth Institute wanted to do something to make a real and immediate difference. Russ Dalbey, the founder, wanted to find a way to get involved in rebuilding the area.

When The Dalbey Education Institute found Dr. Martina Fuchs, a pediatrician from Los Angeles, they knew they had found the right organization. Martina Fuchs set up The Real Medicine Foundation, and flew to Sri Lanka by herself, where she built a small children’s clinic in just one short week. As word of her efforts spread, more and more individuals offered their skills, resources, and financial support. The work of Real Medicine caught the eye of GTZ, a non-profit organization with funding to construct homes, schools, and other buildings in Sri Lanka. GTZ came to Real Medicine with an offer to build a school and center for children, if Real Medicine could raise the money to purchase the land. Russ Dalbey and the Dalbey Wealth Institute elected to help.

The Dalbey Education Institute donated money to pay for the land, and Real Medicine and GTZ have begun the rebuilding project. In addition to creating a day care center and Montessori School, this exciting project will also provide jobs for the families of the children who will be attending the school. The Dalbey Wealth Institute was able to afford this because of the many people who got involved in the Note Network. Created by Russ Dalbey, the Note Network is a big part of the cash flow note business. If you’re interested in signing up, go online to NoteNetwork.com.
