Another great article written by the Vietnamese community on Global Paint for Charity by Vietnamese Reporter Chi Pham

Thay đổi thế giới bằng… sơn

Cập Nhật 20-11-2012 15:54:27
PN - Rony Delgarde từ Haiti di cư sang Mỹ, trong túi chỉ vỏn vẹn năm đô la và cuốn Kinh Thánh. Xuống phi trường quốc tế Miami, hình ảnh đầu tiên đập vào mắt anh là các tòa nhà được phủ sơn đầy màu sắc.
Lúc đó, Delgarde đã nghĩ thầm: “Họ sơn nhà với nhiều màu vàng, trắng, đỏ, xanh, nhìn rất tươm tất. Sao đất nước này nhiều sơn đến thế! Khi nào kiếm được tiền ở đây, mình sẽ mua sơn đem về cho quê hương mình”. Tổ chức Sơn toàn cầu vì mục đích từ thiện (Global Paint for Charity) ra đời từ ý tưởng này, nhằm tái chế sơn thừa của các doanh nghiệp, các hộ dân cư để tặng lại cho những gia đình nghèo khó ở các nước đang phát triển.
Trong trí nhớ của Delgarde, ở Haiti, việc chế tạo sơn diễn ra như sau: “Chúng tôi chặt cây làm củi đốt lò. Chúng tôi nhặt đá từ sông, cho vào lò lửa, đóng lò lại và nung trong vòng một tuần, là có một chất bột tuyệt vời để sơn phết”. Thế nhưng, loại sơn bằng bột thế này rất dễ bị nước mưa làm trôi đi, chưa kể nếu cứ tiếp tục chặt và đốt cây, còn đâu môi trường tự nhiên.

Cơ quan Bảo vệ Môi trường Mỹ ước tính, trong số 637 triệu gallon sơn (một gallon khoảng 3,785 lít) bán ra hằng năm đã có khoảng 10% sơn thừa. Hai năm nay, Delgarde bắt đầu việc thu gom sơn. Đầu tiên, Delgarde tìm đến các công trình xây dựng ở Atlanta (Mỹ) và đề nghị: “Tôi muốn thu gom sơn thừa để tặng cho những nơi người dân không có đủ sơn”. Sau khi thu gom sơn, Delgarde lái xe đến kho chứa hàng, phân loại sơn theo màu, nhãn hiệu, đặc tính và tiến hành tái chế tổng hợp.

Đến nay, Delgarde đã góp nhặt được 6.000 gallon sơn cho các dự án ở Kenya, Haiti và Uganda. Delgarde mới trở về từ Equatorial Guinea, nơi anh vừa tặng 200 gallon sơn cho một nhà bảo trợ trẻ mồ côi bị nhiễm HIV/AIDS. Anh tâm sự: “Ở đó vẫn còn nhiều trường học, bệnh viện, nhà cửa không được sơn phết gì, vi khuẩn bám đầy trên những bước tường hoen ố làm tôi chạnh lòng. Tôi phải đẩy mạnh hơn nữa công việc của mình”.

James Doherty, một chuyên gia làm việc ở Bảo tàng Jimmy Carter tại Atlanta đã nhiệt tình đóng góp sơn thừa sau khi sơn sửa bảo tàng. James nói: “Nhất cử lưỡng tiện”, dự án này giúp sơn không bị chảy ra bãi rác mà được sử dụng một cách có ý nghĩa”. Ed Spencer cũng “góp sức bằng sơn” và cảm kích Delgarde: “Anh ấy đã nghĩ ra cách thức đúng, an toàn và tiết kiệm chi phí cho cả người cho lẫn người nhận, trong khi để thải loại lượng sơn lớn như vậy mà không gây hại môi trường sẽ tiêu tốn nhiều tiền”.
Sát cánh cùng Delgarde ở Tổ chức Sơn toàn cầu vì mục đích từ thiện còn có các tình nguyện viên, chủ doanh nghiệp nhỏ, viên chức nhà nước.
