Create Hope…Create Change…Create
Opportunity… for a child in need, Right now!
COLORS International is a youth led organization that strives
to develop and assist overseas projects through the extension
of effective, hands on initiatives helping children in need. Our
international projects are based on educational activities &
basic health projects with the goal of inspiring children and
youth to make the world a better place, one step at a time.
“Do you believe that even the most
basic assistance can make a difference to a child?
We do, and we are achieving it…NOW”
~News Flash~
Brittany McConeghy from Vancouver has recently joined COLORS South
Africa, where she is currently assisting chronically ill babies
in the Bethesda Hospice, coordinating COLORS Christmas Eco-Leadership
camp for the children’s home, and recruiting supplies and
donations for the children in desperate need from the surrounding
communities. See Brits Blog at: www.brittsafricaproject.blogspot.com
Southern Africa Update: New Office: COLORS South
Africa is now set up permanently & partnered with Bethesda
Medical Services and Relief Hospice, Outreach and Children’s
Home in George! Bethesda is an amazing South African charity that
shares in the same vision of community upliftment and children’s
aid.
Join us by supporting our new projects where we
are on the ground addressing the basic needs of vulnerable and
orphaned children, those affected by the AIDS pandemic while supporting
the local communities both medically and socially.
Hip Hip Hooray: A giant thank you goes out to
Mike and Delayne Weeks for their on going moral and financial
support provided through Jade Cash to COLORS throughout the years.
Without a doubt, COLORS South Africa would not exist if it were
not for their extra boost of confidence and support immediately
after COLORS Director; Sunyata Choyce received the first Red Cross
Young Humanitarian Award last year.
Three cheers for Ana Bustamante, at Jade Cash for her countless
hours of work designing our website, Bethesda logo work and sponsorship
card creation. COLORS, has been extremely fortunate for her time
and graphic talents.

Dominican Republic Projects:
COLORS Dominicana director, Charlene Marcinkoski has taken on
the extension projects based in the Dominican. COLORS has been
busy the last few years implementing projects through children's
homes that are sheltering the children we work with. These homes
have received basic medical and educational supplies, fresh water,
clothing & household goods. We have assisted with the basic
education of the children through teaching and educational supplies,
started baby food and fruit programs plus facilitated additional
art & day trip activities for children, all of which further
improve their daily lives.

Street
Kits for Street Kids:
*Create your own street kits. Before any trip to a developing country,
try packing pencil case sized kit with small school supplies, first-aid
items, small dried foods, tooth brushes, toothpaste, shampoos, soaps
and small toys.
*Give your personal street kits out to those you see living and
begging on the street. This is a great alternative to giving out
change, and will help connect you with the local people in a more
positive way! |

*Consulting: We are happy to consult with
others hoping to create their own international projects. Yes,
you can do it!!!
Through an amazing show of international support, COLORS International
has completed & expanded very successful & practical projects
assisting children in developing countries. Without this support,
none of the children touched by our assistance would have received
the school supplies, water, food, education or basic medical attention
that was made possible. Thank You
