Dear Friends,
My
name is Rony Delgarde, and I am the founder & President of Global
Paint for Charity, INC (GPC). I know you have heard about this new
initiative from many sources, but as we go into only a day before
Christmas, on behalf of the Global Paint for Charity, I would like to
take a moment to wish you all the best presents of this holiday season:
Comfort, Love, Care, Giving, Peace, Happiness, and Hope!
First
of all, allow me to say THANK YOU for all the support and donations
this year. Without your help, the organization would not have been able
to accomplish all the great success and activities it has so far. As
we come to the end of the year, I want to thank those who will continue
contributing to our success, and ask if you will help us once again. The
holiday season is the perfect time to show those in needs how much you
care. If you are looking to make a donation to a specific organization,
please consider supporting our global paint project by donating to the
Global Paint for Charity of Atlanta Georgia. In return, your donation
will be recognized and we will post holiday notes mentioning your kind
gesture on our Facebook Page. The Global Paint for Charity is a
charitable recycling service established in 2010, our mission is to
recycle discarded leftover paint from businesses and residences,
reprocess it and donate it to vulnerable individuals and families in
developing countries around the world. Making a donation is easy, and it feels great. Simply click on the following link: http://www.globalpaints.org/Donate.aspx to submit your donation online.
I
would also like to acknowledge the media: a special thanks to AJC and
CNN for sending a team out to do a documentary about our organization. A
special thank you to Gracie Staples for her great article "Global Paint For Charity Recycles Leftover Paint In Third-World Countries" in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And a very special Kudos to Suzanne Malveaux anchors CNN Newsroom International and Natalie Snedden CNN Senior Producer, and her coworker Chris Hrubesh Senior Editor/Producer at CNN for airing our story on CNN. Last, I would feel very bad if I don't say thanks to our wonderful SashaThe Diva News Anchor on KISS 104 for featuring our story twice on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. Thank you all for your kindness!
