UCLA at Angkor Thom

UCLA at Angkor ThomWhile in Cambodia in 2005, we met a group of children being taken care of by the monks near Temple Bayon in Angkor Thom just north of Siem Reap, and they eventually became the inspiration to start Global Colors.It was only fitting that our first project was to go back and thank them.

Bonfil Orphanage

Bonfil OrphanageJust outside Cancun, Mexico, there is a small orphanage called "Casa Hogar Esperanza".  This "House of Hope and Faith" is run by Asencio and Esther Mancilla who started this home nearly 20 years ago when someone left an infant on their doorstep.

Back to School

Back to SchoolInspired by Jeff Scott, our Cambodian Back to school program was able to expand to become a resounding success. 120 children are now in school, families are becoming self-sustaining, and we were lucky enough to facilitate it.

Loscarasucias Children's Home

Loscarasucias Children's HomeGlobal Colors board member Joy Haynes went to Argentina and while there decided to do a little Guerrilla Aid.   In a short amount of time she met every immediate need of a children's home outside of Buenos Aires.

Women Fuelwood Carriers

Women Fuelwood CarriersJust outside of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, there are women who hike roughly 18 miles a day collecting wood to be sold in the market. The weight of the packs they carry can be up to 70 lbs. - close to the weight of some of the women - and they do it all for about $2.

Development in Gardening

Development in GardeningWe partnered with an amazing organization, Development in Gardening (DIG), to create vegetable gardens next to hospitals in Africa.We worked at Hospital Fann in Dakar, Senegal, and created something so unique it brought First Lady Laura Bush to visit.

Cows for the Maasai

Cows for the Maasai After the September 11 attacks, the very poor people of the Maasai banded together and raised enough money to buy fourteen cows - their most prized possession -to give as a gift to America to help us heal.  We decided to go over and thank them by repaying the gesture...

CAA Envirotrade

CAA EnvirotradeCreative Artists Agency (CAA) selected Global Colors to launch their International Volunteer Vacation Program, having us take CAA employees to Mozambique and South Africa for a reforestation and outreach project.

Jeff Scott

Jeff Scott We were contacted by the friends and family of Jeff Scott to see if we could do any sort of project in his memory, and so we set out to get to know the man Jeff had become, and create a project work in his honor.
