NON-PROFIT BUILT ON VIKING SPIRIT TO HELP CHILDREN & ANIMALS

Our organization draws inspiration from the 1000 year old Viking Althing philosophy, which champions the cultivation of vital timeless Norse traits and the use of ancient democratic wise decision-making strategies to for maximum results in our efforts.

Across the United States, African-American communities in low-income neighborhoods face monumental struggles from centuries of systematic miss-treatment and  never-ending cycle of racism. Amidst these hardships, however, there are many unique individuals, ranging from law enforcement, community leaders, and business professionals, all eager to make a profound positive difference for those falling behind. Together, when joining forces we can forge a path to victory for the African-American American communities as well as other low-income struggling neighborhoods.

Our mission at Neighborhood Rescue of America  is to foremost ensure safer and healthier environments for children and animals in low-income African-American neighborhoods. We firmly uphold the saying, "animals are angels in disguise to teach us something," a belief deeply ingrained in our Norse beliefs. Moreover,  we are all mortals on the same life journey with the clock ticking while we all want to make the biggest possible impact in the world we live in. This  can only be achieved with collaborative efforts beyond politics as we are pushing forward to what is possible to achieve.

LOVE, the antidote to fear, is a central Viking trait we advocate. Love unites, while fear and ego divide. We  believe in the transformative power of unity to uplift every struggling African-American community in the U.S., and part of our strategy revolves around creating mutually beneficial scenarios. We are a non-religious, non-political organization solely focused on effecting a massive positive change for those without a voice. Our transformational strategies emphasis giving the recognition to those we partner with. 

Our success in the Las Vegas case study which was based on excellent partnerships and optimal collaboration stands as a testament to our potential. Tasked with the challenge of bridging the big distrust between police and community in the most dangerous neighborhood in the city where the local government  for 15 years had unsuccessfully tried to gain control, we turned to the Viking Althing philosophy. The results was historical – a 75% reduction in crime and renewed trust with the local police gaining both local and national recognition.

Our strategy has been to share our strategies and victories. We have documented the journey in a multi-award-winning documentary and created a manual with our blueprint for local city officials in Nevada and across America. Our vision is for them to replicate this success, igniting the "Neighborhood Rescue Challenge" in their communities. Our blueprint, forged in the timeless spirit of the Vikings, has later been successfully replicated by other police departments in other states, achieving up to a 90% reduction in crime.

I embarked on this journey without any network next to a full-time job in the corporate world as an behavior expert recruiting and developing modern day Vikings to global Fortune 500 companies, to now in parallel travel across 9 time zones from the other side of the entire globe for this mission inspired by Lao Tzu´s teachings of ; "Give man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime" by being a facilitator sharing the blueprint as well as leave it behind for Nevada according to the butterfly theory impact for them to next copy the model to all their communities.  Being trained since young age in the Viking Althing philosophy and building winning teams in the corporate world for over two decades I knew of the victory before my plane even touched down in Las Vegas . I also know with 100 % certainty that this can be easily replicated in every community and city in the US  by myself or someone else with the necessary skillset and desire to make a big impact.  The timeless Althing philosophy, respect for people, strategic leadership, collaboration with partners, depoliticization of the process and dedication of time  - the ingredients for this success are simple yet powerful. Further, the key rule for the butterfly effect is that victory is never achieved by just one organization or individual but always as a result of team effort where everyone are equals. The success is about applying the "We" rather than the "I", which also ensures further rapid expansion with the butterfly effect.

As demonstrated by the transformations in Las Vegas and Clarmont, led by David Colon, funding is not a barrier as both turnarounds where volunteer based without tax money.  The message is clear: nothing can stop a determined spirit from making an impactful difference. 

I eagerly await hearing from you, the change makers willing to undertake the Neighborhood Rescue Challenge. Share your success stories and inspire others. Together, we can bring tangible, long-overdue change to low-income African-American communities.

Remember the wisdom of the ancient Norse, "The bold succeed where so ever they go" and those who dare become legends .When we uplift the most vulnerable among us, we strengthen the entire community. And, as war general Sun Tzu rightly said, "Every battle is won before it's ever fought. The battle is won not on the battlefield, but in the hearts and minds of those willing to make a difference.

Let's join forces to write a new chapter of transformation and prosperity for children and animals in low-income African-American communities to alter their now bleak pre-determined path to one of hope and prosperity.
