Do you believe that the most basic assistance can make a difference?
Create Hope…Create Change…Create Opportunity
Give one child a chance at a better life,
And YES, you can make a difference!
It has been a project packed year for Project COLORS International.
Because of the ongoing support from our dedicated volunteers and donors, we have been able to start many hands-on practical projects getting supplies and programs directly to children in need.
Here are some of this year’s project highlights:……To start, we assisted in tackling the lice and parasite problems of over 40 orphaned children and initiated the new-start baby food project for malnourished babies in the Dominican Republic. There were multiple emergency supplies gathered for the D.R children’s home as they ran out of milk, diapers, and food. Thanks to the prompt response from our donors, we were also able to help with the children’s water crisis (filling up the well and buying needed purified drinking water). Many street kits have also been handed out to street kids through global volunteers who are working hard to make a difference in the world everyday. Our educational program continued on this year, assisting young children with basic education…..and let’s not forget the street dog project, medicating orphaned street dogs with parasites.
Good news!!!! There was enough funding for the educational and fruit snack program to keep going at Jackie’s children’s home in the D.R until the end of the school year. Our dedicated teacher, Charlene from Alberta, is making this possible by staying on and helping the children with their schooling each day. Charlene has decided to stay on in the Dominican Republic helping the children.
HAITI: Through an important contact with UN staff, COLORS was able to get supplies to young girls in Haiti aged 12-17, who were unjustly imprisoned. Care packages of underwear, hygiene products, art supplies, and medicines were given to the girls and there is more on the way.
AFRICA: Supplies to help start a pre-school program have been sent to Tanzania with a volunteer from Nova Scotia. Volunteer Allyson Chisholm, is currently working in Swaziland helping with a water pump project for a rural village and she has bought supplies and Christmas presents for the street kids that she works with daily. With the AIDS pandemic at hand, we hope to focus more assistance to the children of Africa during this time of crisis.
~More and more AIDS orphans are in need of the world’s support every day.~
Distribution program: Over the last few years, travelers and volunteers have distributed supplies to poverty stricken schools, homes for street kids, AIDS care facilities, community centers, and aid missions all over the world. Through this program, countries such as South Africa, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Cuba, St. Vincent, Eritrea, Uganda, Ukraine, Guatemala, Mexico, India, Tanzania, Haiti, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Swaziland and Honduras have received supplies from Project COLORS International.
Supplies to Sierra Leone will soon be on there way thanks to Caroline who is going to volunteer with League of Peaceful Schools. She has organized free space on a cargo ship for donations, giving her the opportunity to deliver a large amount of supplies to schools all around the country. COLORS was happy to add on to her supply of donations by providing school books, clothing, reusable diapers and boxes of footwear and flip flops for her project.
NOW: We are currently collecting donations of toothbrushes, tooth paste, light-weight school supplies, basic medical creams and first aid kits for our Distribution and Street Kit programs.
From water emergencies to lice infestations, it has been an exciting project packed
year for Project COLORS International.…and each step of the way, you have been there to
encourage us to keep going by supporting our project goals.
“THANK YOU”…..from all of the volunteers at Project COLORS and from
all the children, (and dogs) who have been touched by your kindness.
