In 2009, we supportted 26 children and 7 teachers most from Government Primary School Wottolo-Bonduma.

The support included most cash gifts to support the children’s needs including also schools textbooks to some children, several boxes of chalk to support the school and exercise books tot help teachers and writing their notes and preparing for their classes.

We are very thankful to those who supported Back Packs 2009 especially Joe & Hev Talbot and our other UK partners and friends.

Genesis Tinshu, Founder/Executive Director of Helps International (HINT) has received the Shining World Leadership Award from Supreme Master Ching Hai International Humanitarian Association in the USA.

The award was presented to him by Mr. Tom Vennum, an association member at their Arlington, Texas office on August 29, 2009.

The award honors the distinguished people, countries and organizations in our present day society that have made a positive difference on our planet through their noble actions. For the purpose of recognizing these caring actions, and in response to the reports about many positive developments in the world, Supreme Master Ching Hai founded the Shining World Leadership Award in March 2006. The pure crystal award represents the shining noble ideals of the honored individuals, nations and organizations whose pioneering work and selfless dedication have significantly contributed to the harmony and beauty of our planet.

The award came with a cash award of US$ 10,000. The funds will go to support our School PCs Project that is connecting thousands of school children to the internet through computer labs connected to the internet.

The award presentation was then aired on Supreme Master Television on January 20, 2010.
