Genesis Tinshu receives Shining World Leadership Award

by Leave a Comment

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.

Upper Bonduma Credit Group created

by Leave a Comment

In our efforts to end poverty, HINT has started another Credit Group at upper Bonduma with 6 women.

Two group members who qualify have already received their first round of loans. We are working with the other 4 and will be giving out their loans soon.

The possibility of creating this Credit Group and supporting the women has been possible thanks to a $500 donation from John & Elizabeth Batton in Dallas/Fort Worth, USA.

Through our innovative  and high impact Credit Groups strategies, we are libearating several rural women from the grip of poverty through micro-loans and training. If you can help or partner with us, please visit the How you can help page. Thank you.
