Over the course of my 14 years here at ColorID, I've been fortunate to lead and be a part of a lot of charity programs and fundraisers sponsored by ColorID.  These projects don't make the headlines and they are not meant too.  Our general philosophy is to not divert a lot of attention to these types of programs and focus simply on our interactions with our customers.  For the first time, we are straying away from that philosophy and placing a spotlight on a foundation we are passionate about.  This summer we will be apart of a mission trip with Access 2 Success.  The destination will be Nigeria, specifically Benin City and I will be apart of a 2 team mission trip with my portion taking off July 1st and ending July 10th.  

Over the course of the trip our schedule will be packed with outings and events meant to help the local community.  Upon flying into Lagos, Nigeria we will make our way to Benin City and that is where we will take part in the following:

• Visit an IDP camp (IDP: someone who is forced to flee his or her home but who remains within his or her country's borders)
• Take part in a Basketball Coaches Clinic by Bob McKillop of the Davidson College Wildcats
• Implement multiple community outreach programs
• Launch an Entrepreneurship Incubator Program
• Vacation Bible School
• And somewhere during this hectic schedule implement a identification system for the After School Academy that has over 220 students.  

​I'm especially excited about the implementation of the ID system as well as being on the judging panel for the Entrepreneurship Incubator Program.  If you have a moment, take the time to learn more about the foundation, started by Andrew Lovedale and I hope you'll see what all of us here at ColorID see first hand which is an amazing foundation helping give kids a chance at something better.  

In closing, if you want to follow more updates you can do so by visiting A2S's blog directly or stop by here again and our team will be posting updates as I can get them out.
