Global Colors was founded by one man who thought it would be better to go out and try to make a difference, rather than complain about things that weren't being done. Since then, we have established our reputation by cutting through red tape and bureaucracy - while connecting volunteers and corporations to international aid projects. | ||
Our Mission:
Global Colors aids in the development of grassroots campaigns using local ingenuity and resources to accomplish very specific goals. Our projects are geared towards creating immediate change - while teaching individuals, families, and travelers how to do the same in their own back yard or across the globe.
A few things to know before we get started...
1. We are just a small organization trying to make a difference.
2. We only work where we can involve members of the local community so they can sustain the program when we leave.
3. We only fly coach, stay in cheap hotels, and always overtip our servers.
4. Sometimes we sound like pageant contestants (or like we're on a first date) when talking about the world - all full of world peace, sunsets, puppies, and how much we love Thai food.
From a decision made in the jungles of Cambodia - to taking calls from the White House, speaking on behalf of refugees at the United Nations, and working with groups around the world - Global Colors continues to grow and make personal differences around the world.
Whether it is an orphanage, school, clinic, or group that we find we can help with, we look for stories such as Phil and Kanchana Thornton in Thailand, or Emmanuel Tasur in Kenya. These individuals make an impact by serving those around them –and we may be able to provide that little extra push.
Our projects are geared towards helping individuals become self-sufficient, and range from poverty, AIDS/disease, human rights, education, and the environment.
Global Colors is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization
Follow along as we circumnavigate the globe creating grassroots aid.
Guerrilla Aid is a style of volunteerism - simply go somewhere and do something,
while teaching others to do the same.I was inspired and moved, and felt for the first time that one person truly can make a difference.
The world seems so much bigger and yet so much more attainable after visiting Africa with Global Colors.
