Project COLORS International would like to say a huge Thank You for the funding received from Saga Charitable Trust.

We have been very busy and having so much fun coordinating projects around the community on Saga’s behalf, making sure that every last penny goes to where it is needed the most.

The kitten was lifeless and weak when Reginald, the father of the family who owned the kitten, brought the kitten to us for help. We took the kitten in, treated it and cared for it.  After 10 days, Angie’s kitty was running happy and healthy and was returned to its family... READ MORE

It gave Dominik and I some basic knowledge of how to work with small children in the age range of 2 to 5 even though we were studying economics in Germany. However, it was only a little insight into the informal township environment, in which most children grow up in South Africa...

Sylvie Furlong (Cambridge- United Kingdom) February –May 2010
Coming to South Africa and volunteering with Project COLORS has to be the best thing I have done in my life so far. I have experienced so much and really embraced every day.
