Dalbey Education contributes to The Real Medicine Foundation’s School Project in Sri Lanka
Half a world away from Westminster, Colorado is the Pallemalala region of Sri Lanka. This community suffered tragic losses when a tsunami hit during a busy market day, when one or both parents of most families were out shopping.
In just one day, many families were destroyed and countless children orphaned. One of the organizations that is there helping is The Real Medicine Foundation, a non-profit group that provides medical relief to communities affected by disaster, poverty, or war.
In 2006, Dalbey Education donated money to purchase the land needed for The Real Medicine to facilitate the building of a new Children’s Center in Pallemalala, Sri Lanka. The center will provide a permanent Day Care Center and Montessori School for the children of this and neighboring communities.
The following is a personal note from Dr. Martina Fuchs, the founder of Real Medicine:
“Thank you to Russ Dalbey and everyone at Dalbey Education for your amazing, generous contribution. Your donation is buying land for a new school and children’s center in Pallemalala in Southern Sri Lanka, providing education for the local children as well as income for the families who will work on the project.
Your sponsorship is making a huge difference for hundreds of children and families who lost everything in the tsunami. You are deeply appreciated and you should feel proud of your company.”
