The Signing of the Agreement:

The official agreement for the paint donation between Global Paint for Charity and the government delegation from the Democratic Republic of Congo was a momentous event. President and CEO of Global Paint for Charity, Rony Delgarde, met with a DRC government delegation to sign the agreement at the Allure Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada. Members of that delegation included 3rd Sovereign Coordinator Mr. Pontiff Mpungi Dizolele, Honorable Mr. Edwardo Lukeba Nengitukulu, Director in Charge of International Relations and Son Excellence Mr. Ruffin Bangu Mbuandi Pwaty. Also in attendance were notable individuals Lawrence Mullen, Professor and Editor-in-Chief of Visual Communication Quarterly at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Joe Green, Director of Business Development at the Las Vegas Chamber and several members of Global Paint for Charity’s Board of Directors including Kenny Cottrell.

“I have spoken with Mr. Ruffin Pwaty on numerous occasions over the past five years, and have expressed my deep and unwavering support for the sanitation solution and beautification of schools and women’s centers in West Africa. Which is why I’m proud to present this donation from my organization,” said Global Paint for Charity CEO and President Rony Delgarde.

 The first container loaded with 5000 gallons of the large donation will be dispatched this Fall and will be distributed to various locations throughout the country, bringing new life and vibrancy to these essential community spaces. Mr. Joe Green, Director of Business Development at the Las Vegas Chamber said, “the Vegas Chamber was truly honored to participate in the formalization of a profound partnership between Global Paint for Charity and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This remarkable collaboration serves as a powerful testament to the far-reaching positive impact that Global Paint for Charity continues to make on a global scale.” 

Professor Lawrence Mullen of UNLV’s School of Public Policy & Leadership also commented on the historic meeting, “I was impressed with the delegation from the Democratic Republic of Congo and with the way Rony Delgarde conducted the meeting and facilitated this partnership. I’m very proud to call him my student.”

Mr. Delgarde would also like to give special thanks to the Allure Tower HOA staff, the entire Front Office and Concierge team. “I thank  them for pulling together all the moving parts to make the event an incredible success. I am very thankful for their generous support,” Delgarde said.
