1600+ gallons of Paint Donated to City of Caryville FL will renovate, uplift, repaint and beautify buildings for 200 plus men and families recovering from addictions and alcoholism to become respected citizens

The Harvest Vineyard Ministries’ volunteers began their mission and are changing lives one gallon of paint at a time. They are using approximately 1600+ gallons of paint that they received from our free program to paint and beautify the old Caryville Work Camp with 18 Buildings and turned all the facilities into a Church, a Christian Ministry Bible School and residences that would house 200 plus men and families to help them recover from addictions and participate in discipleship and fellowship. “thank you so much, Global Paint, you have been a great blessing to us. The paint would help so many people come to salvation for Jesus Christ our Lord and Brighten up their futures ahead.”

The Harvest Vineyard Ministries is a Faith-Based, nonprofit, community supported organization. Their vision is helping people overcome life controlling issues through the power of Jesus Christ. Through a 12 month (required) commitment, they offer hope to people who otherwise could not have escaped the controlling cycles in which they had become accustomed. With their new painted building, the residents will be put into strictly Godly disciplines that make them successful against life controlling problems including alcoholism and drugs addiction. All residents will be placed in an environment to help them recover from financial difficulties, addiction. The goal is for those men and woman to return to society as assets to their community and become respected neighbors, responsible employees, and loyal family members and friends. It is a BIG Project and the paint is well appreciated “We are very thankful for your Contributions to help support our Community here in Caryville… We will keep you updated and send pictures of all buildings we paint in the area….Thanks Global Paint”

Thank you for continuing to put paint and building supplies in our hands to effectively do the work in the world and change many lives. Without your support and generosity, our hands would be emptied. Please consider what you can do to help get more paint and buildings materials and supplies to those in great need not just in Caryville Florida but around the world.

Good Americans Give Back to our Community in Election Day!!

  Public service, giving back, or simply being kind is essential to one's life. I believe in giving back to my community. Since becoming a Poll Official in Gwinnett County in 2011, I have had the opportunity to manage precincts on various Election Days, from the special to general elections in Gwinnett County. On many Election Days, I have worked extremely long hours—as many as 18 hours in some precincts. But the belief in giving back to this great land and this beautiful country gave me the energy to keep going because I know from deep down my heart I will contribute to the change we want to see in our community. And we, too, need to embrace the talent and contribution of our people and the challenges that await us.

Yesterday, I worked in a local precinct in Gwinnett from 6AM to 11PM, and that experience actually impacted me more than the time I spent at the poll. It was not about money or posting this cute photo, I was there to help bring the change I want to see in our community for the future generation. Each election time, I receive an email from the Gwinnett County Board of Elections asking if I am available to work at the polls as manager, as Assistant Manager, Clerk, worker, etc..… and I always make the time to volunteer. I am always happy to do it. Besides working 18 hours on Election Day, many hours of online and hands-on training are required, but it's worth it; another way to see the current technology and the evolution of electoral work in democratic territories—

And more importantly, coming from Haiti, it is great to see people peacefully engaged in the voting process. The entire day we had various numbers of voters. Many prominent American families walked through the doors, excited to cast their votes. They brought their kids from months old to teenagers, their brothers, old parents, and everyone in their family has been registered to vote except the little ones they voted, and we made sure their votes were counted. I need to find out their choices or political preferences. Still, I know they tried to educate their kids about the value of their rights of social duties and their legal responsibility as citizens. I could bring this knowledge back home one day.
Also, many great citizens took a moment to thank us for volunteering and being there at the polls to serve the community and facilitate democracy in our great land. Those kind words were heartfelt and great to hear from our citizens. They have made my world. Yes, Gwinnett county pays a small amount for the full day of service, but I will donate the full amount to my foundation, “The Global Paint for Charity (GPC).” I can use it, but this is the best way to spend money.

It was a great experience and honor to meet as many people as possible, from helping seniors properly cast their votes to managing a team of 7-9 Poll Officials to ensure the appropriateness, effectiveness, and immediate results of the election processes performed within a specific period. A few minutes after the polls closed at 7pm,  we could count the votes and post the results. This is so amazing!! It may be “Only in America,” but I will let you be the judge. Unlike in the United States, counting and publishing election results are not simple in some countries. Usually, it may take days, weeks, or in extreme cases, months before the election results are ready and can be posted. Too often in those countries, corruption and fraud affect vote counts to bring effective election results. Poor election results can even have the effect of a coup d'état, or corrupted leaders get elected. And we all know what could happen.

So I will continue advancing our entire community and our great land. God Bless America!!

Please forgive me in advance for any typographic errors and run-on sentences. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment or email me at ronydelgarde@globalpaints.org. Have a great day, everyone!!

Global Paint for Charity To Launch First Housing Development Project in the Collier City, Pompano Beach Florida.

Earlier last week, the Founder and CEO of Global Paint Rony Delgarde met with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Program Director Dahlia Baker, Mayor Lamar Fischer of Pompano Beach, General Services Director Otis Thomas and City Commissioners Ed Phillips and Dale V.C. Holnes of Brown County Florida to form a partnership for a pilot project to improve the living conditions of elderly people in Collier City in Pompano Beach Florida. In a project similar to one in Brown County Florida, The Faith Construction, CRA and Global Paint volunteers will renovate or repaint homes for up to 300 elderly families in the initial phase of what is being termed the “Global Paint Housing Renovation Development Project”.
This marks the first Global Paint Housing Development project within the Pompano Beach areas, home to more than 100k people and 19.5k people live in the Collier City areas. The Pompano Beach County officials are involved with the project to renovate homes for elderly residents in the city.

According to the Pompano Beach Gov website, Collier City has historically been one of the most deprived areas of Broward County. The CRA has designated the NW 31st Avenue corridor of Collier City as well as the NW 27th Avenue corridor as priority target areas for renovation and redevelopment.
The neighbors in the City are low income, making it among the lowest income cities in America. NeighborhoodScout's research shows that this city has an income lower than 91.4% of U.S. cities. With 44.4% of the youth there below the federal poverty line, this neighborhood has a higher rate of childhood poverty than 86.4% of U.S. cities. About 45.7% of the population is employed, the 80% of youth is unemployed, with 20.2% of the youth has graduated from high school.

In the Collier city in Pompano Beach, FL, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as Haitian (18.2%). There are also a number of people of Jamaican ancestry (6.7%), and residents who report Puerto Rican roots (4.2%), and some of the residents are also of German ancestry (2.9%), along with some Italian ancestry residents (2.5%), among others. In addition, 16.9% of the residents of this city were born in another country.
The languages spoken by people in this city are diverse. These are charted as the languages people favorably speak when they are at home with their families. The most common language spoken in the Collier city is English, spoken by 74.2% of households. Other important languages spoken there include Spanish, Creole and French.

By the end of 2014, more than 19.5 thousand of the city’s residents were above 60 years in age. More than three-in-ten live by themselves. Many lack family support, and are dependent on government subsidies, food stamps, usually averaging around USD$133 a month, for survival. These elderly residents currently live in old homes, which are not suited to the special needs of the elderly or disabled.

Speaking at the meeting, The Collier City Commissioner Ed Phillips stated: “We look forward to the support of Global Paint for Charity and other organizations and concerned people here to help improve these efforts, and provide better home and care to Collier City’s senior citizens. We hope to expand our efforts throughout the Pompano Beach areas in the near future.”

The Housing Renovation and Urban Development Project in the Collier City, Pompano Beach Florida will complement other Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Program to meet the community needs of youth and senior citizens, including health, job training and skill development, said Program Director Dahlia Baker.
The donations of paint and related supplies from Global Paint for Charity for our programs will help provide a workforce development project where some of our general contractors will provide free house painting for some of our more vulnerable senior residents to improve the exterior of their homes and at the same time teach the (youth) trade to trainee painters. The project to start around the first week of July with each trainee painter to remain in the project for two months then transition to job placement, she added.

Otis Thomas, General Services Director in Brown County Florida, said: “Thanks to the Global Paint for Charity and Rony Delgarde for donating the paint to help our community. We hope that through this project, we can help our senior’s citizens and our youths. “We are aiming to improve the living environment of senior citizens in Collier City renovations and work development for youths, in order that people’s quality of life will be improved.”

Rony Delgarde, Founder and President of the Global Paint, said, “his organization has been very eager to help with whatever needs in Pompano Beach area, and the Collier City Housing Renovation project is a great fit for our mission.”
“I am very honored to be a part of helping the community, specially the people in Pompano Beach, and am very grateful to have the opportunity to visit the Collier City to see the needs. Many thanks to Dahlia Baker and the CRA organization for facilitating these meetings. They give me the opportunity to meet the Brown County Officials, with our entire community coming together; we will be able to stretch beyond impossible. I am delighted to support the project, help change live and beautify the homes in the community, said Rony.”

CRA has also executed numerous projects in Brown County in recent years – including Harbor Village Streetscape Improvements, Martin Luther King, Jr. BLVD Improvements, and Downtown Pompano Improvements. You can find more information about the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) at www.pompanobeachfl.gov .

Dear Friend,

I hope you are doing great. I am going after this small business grant in the Chase Mission Street grant competition and need your support for Global Paint for Charity. When most organizations ask for donations to be sent to third-world countries, many people think of sending money, food or clothing. But Global Paint for Charity, Inc. (“Global Paint” or “GPC”) is one of the organizations focused on the future of our children and their environments by shipping paint. Our mission is to recover leftover paint from these residences as well as businesses, reprocess it and distribute it to vulnerable individuals and families in developing countries around the world. While there may be more pressing issues in developing countries than the facade of a building, when someone really thinks about it, the right color in a room can truly change the ambiance of a place and the attitudes of those who inhabit it. Through our efforts, we give people the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of their home through recycled paint. We are changing lives and saving the world one gallon of paint at a time.

Another major factor behind the paint movement is that it's also better for the environment. Recycling the paint reduces waste and saves the country money. According to the industry sources, every resident in America has 4-to-10 gallons of leftover paint in their basement. Sadly, each year 30 million gallons of paint in the U.S. become trash and wind up in the landfills, yet, nearly 90% of the 2.5 billion people living on less than $2/day in the developing world can’t secure sufficient income for their basic needs and have money to buy a 5 gallon bucket of paint usually costs $89.99 – $130.99/bucket. They need to buy rice and bread to eat, medicine, soap, water, clothes, and money for education and shelter. For millions of children and their families, the paint is the gift of life, hope and happiness.

Global Paint for Charity, Inc. remains a one-of-a-kind group adding color and encouragement to people's lives worldwide. Since we started collecting paint in 2010, as many as 500-to-6000 gallons of paint have been shipped at a time to developing countries, including Kenya, Ghana, Guinea, Uganda, Haiti, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Guyana, and Mexico. The paint has been used for housing rehabilitation projects including family homes, hospitals, schools, churches, and orphanages, which can get costly since we paid for the shipping out of our own pocket. We are currently working to secure volunteers ad collaborate with other organization, grassroots groups, and teams in every state as well as actively seeking new funding to support our mission.

We are excited for each new day as it brings more opportunities to share our vision with the world and continue to paint the world beautiful. Focusing on preserving our environment by keeping paint out of landfills and water sources and the process of recycling unused paint (harmful waste) and using it as a resource to improve the living conditions of our poor has distinguished GPC as a deserving non-profit to support. We hope that you will join us in our mission.

I am turning to you to ask for your vote and generous support. Please consider helping us to get 250 VOTES by June 19th, click on this link missionmainstreetgrants.com/b/64501 and VOTE for Global Paint for Charity (GPC) (GPC) .

Thank you for another successful Global Citizen Earth Day Celebration!

The Earth Day 2015 Recycling Celebration took place on Saturday, April 18th the only day of the week that it wasn't raining, it was mostly cloudy and partial sunny but no rain, it was fantastic. Held at Coolray Field, Home of the Gwinnett Braves in Lawrenceville, the 3 hours recycling event was filled with several activities including paper shredding, electronics, tires, cartridges, old sneakers recycling, also playground for kids, and hundred donors, city officials, partners and volunteers came out to celebrate with us. Global Paint for Charity (GPC) was committed to recycling only paint products in partnership with the Gwinnett County Solid Waste. More than 2600 gallons of paint were properly disposed. The majority of the donors, who participated in the Earth Day event, were eager to learn that their unwanted paint donations will be re-used and re-purposed to transform many communities and family homes around the world, and enlightened about our tax deductible advantages for their donation. Many felt that it is quite significant and rewarding to donate their used paint to us and plan to let their neighbors know about our programs. One donor took some brochures, and said he would make copies and pass them around/ to every Home Depot and Sherwin Williams retail stores in his area.

The Earth Day Celebration provided the opportunity for the Global Paint team members to work closely with staff from the Gwinnett County Solid Waste & Recovered Materials Division and its major partners on raising awareness of recycling in ways to help preserve our beautiful planet. Our thanks to the greater Gwinnett County residences and businesses for their wonderful support of our 4th-ever Earth Day Celebration, the Solid Waste staffs and volunteers for their irreplaceable partnership and continued support. A special thank you goes out to all Gwinnett County officials who volunteered to help load all donated containers of paint on our truck, also to all Gwinnett County Police Officers who made sure the event ran smoothly, safely and promptly.

Global paint for Charity was founded in 2010; today it is one of the largest paint recycling programs in the nation and the first public non-profit providers of free paint and hosting free paint projects in the world. Since 2011, we shipped as many as 500-to-6000 gallons of paint at a time for projects in Kenya, Ghana, Uganda ,Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Honduras, Guatemala, ElSalvador, Mexico, Dominican Republic, also in Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, New Orleans and Chicago. Last year, Global paint for Charity volunteers painted 459 family homes, 40 schools and orphanages. We assisted 45 local homeowners and homeless shelters in the Atlanta areas and recycled over 130,000 gallons of paint from businesses and residences in the U.S. These numbers add up to $10,790,989 saved in local government budget to properly manage left over paint disposal each year, and created a total monetary impact of $2, 400,000 in donation.

Additional information, including the mission and vision statements, pictures, descriptions of the free paint programs, volunteer and partnership opportunities, and overall of the organization’s impacts around the world is available on the official website and social media sites: www.globalpaits.org, Facebook and Twitter, /globalpaints.
