Hi Mark,

Your vision for DC3D's is excellent. My wife and I left Australia for India 7 years ago with our 4 teenage daughters with a vision to establish a Home for abandoned and abused girls in north India. An integral part of that vision is to see rural poor communities get access to essential services in a sustainable way.

We are still here based out of New Delhi. So far we have started a Home in Delhi and are looking at starting another in the foothills of the Himalayas

The way we are funding the Home is through business initiatives we have started since being here in India. After 7 years we now have land and are planning to build the Home we came to start 7 years back.

we have a vision for seeing these poor village communities in north India get both access to water, power and sanitation, as well as seeing them start small business initiatives so that they are not reliant on handouts.

I can help you with on the ground knowledge of these communities, as well as the business side. I am an entrepreneur at heart and see that the only way these communities can rise above their poverty is if we can create an economic engine that shows them how to fish rather than giving them a fish - development rather than relief

I want to encourage you brother that you are on a great thing here and I am here to stand with you as you endeavour to change the world, one village at a time

Best Regards
Tony White

Go for it!

Nice to see somebody doing something constructive.

I was born in Uganda and later lived in India (still as a child).

I am all for Mark's concept of self-reliance with a jump-start in technology at the micro local level as opposed to from a central level.

I'd like to help but don't see how I can as I am stuck at home up to 22 hours per day looking after my widowed and paralysed mother.

However, I do have a very good financial head on my shoulders if that can be of any help......

Best regards,

Robert Court

Mark

Nothing less than we'd expect from you and your organization. We want to help you in any way we can to pay it forward. Direct help still needs monetary support so anyone who reads this and wants to help Mark in these efforts may take a look at what we're doing to help.

You are in a position to make a difference today.

Balanced Fundraising is a Non-Profit organization whose mission is to help other organizations to raise additional funding. Our system is designed to increase the amount of funding available to those organizations without asking their current donors, supporters & customers to dig deeper or volunteer more of their time. We want to show you how our system can help generate thousands of dollars in new, predictable & long-term funding. Just imagine how much an extra $25,000 -- $50,000 even $100,000 or more would do for your programs.

I am inspired and moved by this project! :)
Congratulations, Mark and everyone else associated with bringing it to fruition! Such a great vision.

I'm not sure how best to help at this point, but will be watching/listening for opportunities to do so. I will certainly bring it to other's awareness to begin with!

To Construct ZERO what a GREAT Idea.
We have all been told that to build / create, you need to add up 1+2+4+8+16+32+64+ etc...
Here we will have a model with 0+0+0+0= a Great achievement...
Only Mark and his team could give us such example.
Congratulation.
Hope to be able to contribute :)

Bees are always busy making honey, so much so that they can share their honey with us and we can eat it and sell it.

My point is that every community and every green-sustainable project needs honey on a regular basis. instead of buying honey, they could learn how to get bees making it for them in their backyard.

That is called honey sustainability. and to have sustainable money coming into the community means making a cottage industry out of the honey you manifest.

The greatest aspect of what Mark has started here is that thru ConstructZero, cottage industries could be put into the hands of green-sustainable communities and projects.

Now we are talking "sustainable Internet marketing" too because there will be no Internet or world if we only market "How to get rich like me" type "hype" products which actually have no intrinsic tangible product other than "intellectual" information and maybe some fancy new software.

BRAVO, Mark, for finally getting some Internet marketers to pay attention to the real problem on the Planet right now, and doing it in an effective and practical manner. Hopefully they can see the Truth of how this powerful Internet marketing stuff can actually save our world from extinction.

It's about time we all quit scamming about these Internet businesses that make money on the "copycat" theory of marketing. "Just send 19.95 for the info on how you too can do this same thing and make millions" for instance.

How about real products that really change our impact on the environment? Anyone want to make millions doing that? SURE there are lots of folks interested in green-sustainability, and teaching them how to market it online to millions could be the next "Super-product" if it is bundled with something tangible like a solar panel or water-out-of-air gizmo.

ANYONE interested in this application is invited to email me and let's chat how this can be done. I am creating a green-sustainable website for these very purposes and want to apply all Mark's techniques to marketing green-sustainable products and information. AND do it in a pro-active networking manner.

We could make a best-selling eBook out of our process of applying all this to green-sustainability marketing doing a JV launch of GoGreenNews.com this summer--a green-sustainability online hub membership site--with webcast/teleseminars with experts. freebie JV incentives, and a massive buzz and list-sharing paid-membership campaign.

Money is honey, sweet to make. But even a Pooh-bear can only eat so much before getting sick. The trick is to not try and eat it all ourself, sharing it with others is what honey and money have in common.

Every community needs honey and money. There is a huge need and interest on "going green-sustainable" and millions of dollars is lining up outside the Internet door trying to get into this amazing marketing tool of the world wide web. Imagine all the money to be made helping people achieve this?

Are the light bulbs appearing over your head yet? Hey, Mark, give us all you got focused on this--we are ready to rock the planet with this huge new industry of green-sustainability.

And as for the money and honey, well if we focus on the honey and build the hives then the bees will come. And like in "Field of Dreams" we can have our money and eat our honey too.

...just 'Imagine'...."and the world could live as One"

What a joy to hook up with individuals who are oriented toward the vision Mark is articulating! I love the Phillippine Islands (lived there once upon a time). I belong to an association of software professionals, some of whom are early-stage development of the "smartgrid" infra and intrastructure in Oregon and Washington. My specialization in the new technology universe is that of a contract administrator per QBOS. See www.qbos.com and view the business process modeler video on the landing page for a glimpse at the state of the art...aka Service Oriented Architecture... GY

I am from the Philippines Mark. I am a youth leader before for 6 years and I saw how lack of social responsibility and the skewed distribution of resources have truly affected us over the long run. I witnessed communities without water and other basic things and I see their sufferings with how difficult life can be.

I am working to start a business online and a private person right now after having been disappointed with government service and I would want to take part if it benefits my country in a way I have more confidence.

Thanks Mark for such a great idea.
