Color My World is excited to announce our 2020 humanitarian expedition to Cusco, Peru!
Two sessions sold out overnight last year!
We will be working in San Gabriel at a small private kindergarten, not receiving any governmental support. We want to provide a healthy school climate, where underprivileged children can have qualitative education but also where they learn about values, group work as well as individual development.
Color My World will be working on a variety of improvement projects at the school and spending a lot of time with the Peruvian children, teaching them English, playing games, sharing art education and teaching them mini-classes. The volunteer house where will stay is located at San Sebastian District, at 10 minutes in taxi from the main square of Cusco.
A humanitarian, Angela Hughes is the director and co-founder of her family foundation, Color My World (501c3) and personally arranges and escorts each group that travels with the foundation. She is engaged with each project from start to finish.
A mother of four children, ages 15-24, Hughes has been in the travel business both as a travel agency owner of Trips Inc. for over 30 years and as a former adjunct professor at both Brigham Young University in the Geography/Travel &Tourism Department and The New Hampshire Community College system teaching Travel & Tourism.
Angela’s expertise include a masters degree in geography and hobbies include third world development humanities, photography and the Renaissance. She has taught her children on location throughout the world bringing to life art, history and science through travel education. Her and her Husband, Brian started the organization as a way to give back to those in need.
Hughes plans and escorts groups around the world and specializes in Europe, Asia and 3rd world humanitarian Trips.
