[Accra – Ghana] 18th October 2019.
The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association in Accra, Ghana presented The “Shining World Protection Award” to Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa of the Green Republic Project and his dedicated youthful team for this most benevolent project. Green Republic Project’s mission is to plant millions of trees in Ghana to mitigate the effects of global warming and thus help save our planet.
The memorable presentation was held in the auditorium of the Holiday Inn Hotel, with local press and dignitaries present. The hall was adorned with pictures and banners of Master, and our message to go green and be vegan. Prior to commencing the award, a short video of Supreme Master Ching Hai and Her good works across the Globe was shown to the audience. Everyone was amazed at the depth and breadth of Masters philanthropy, and how She has touched the lives of so many people and organizations.
During the presentation, the award was explained in detail and read aloud, as shown in the attached photos. Some of the quotes were:
“In recognition of your outstanding advocacy for environmental conservation by planting millions of trees, to mitigate climate change.” and “With compliments and gratitude for your compassion and benevolence commitment to protect our planet.“
The Award also came with a US$10,000.00 donation to Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa, head of the Green Republic Project. It was presented during the event, as shown in the photos.
Commenting on the honor bestowed upon him, Nana Yaw Osei-Darkwa thanked the Supreme Master Ching Hai Association, especially The Supreme Master Ching Hai for recognising and financially supporting his team’s efforts and further praised his team for the hard work they have put in so far, which has resulted in this award. He said,
“I pray for the good health and long life of The Supreme Master Ching Hai. This is a true definition of a miracle, because until this award, I had never read or heard of The Supreme Master Ching Hai or Her International Association. The little I have read after the award’s announcement clearly points to the fact that when some good people have wealth they use it for good things.”
At the end of the program, Master’s book “From Crisis to Peace: The Organic Vegan Way is the Answer” was distributed to the audience and members of the press who covered the event. The participants that day were very delighted and appreciative of Supreme Master and Her Association.
While observing this blissful ceremony, we felt peace and joy knowing there are groups of people across the world with selfless, noble ideals. Supreme Master Ching Hai awards these saintly individuals and groups, encouraging them to do even more, to be torchbearers of society, leading the world into a new Golden Era of sustainable living.
