On May 14, Golden Year 6 (2009), Mr. Bill Nolan, the Irish Ambassador to Zambia, received the Shining World Leadership Award from Supreme Master Ching Hai. The Award was given in recognition of the Irish government’s pledge of US$35 million to Zambia. The financial assistance—a true example of loving support from the Irish government to the Zambian people—is to go toward the country’s development programs, particularly in the education, health, tourism and agriculture sectors as well as governance and HIV/AIDS related programs.

A beautiful crystal plaque and Award letter with Master’s signature was presented by our Association member to Mr. Bill Nolan at a ceremony in Lusaka, Zambia, with a gift of Master’s recent publications The Noble Wilds and The Birds in My Life, plus DVDs. Mr. Nolan very gladly received the Award, and he was very honored that Ireland was acknowledged for their work in helping another nation. He thanked Supreme Master Ching Hai saying, “There is value in making awards available, presenting an award of this kind. It does have value. We do like to have somebody, especially from the other side of the world, recognize that even a small country like Ireland can help to make a difference. So, we thank you very much for that.”

Our sincere thanks, Ireland, and Heaven bless your generosity and efforts in helping those in need in Zambia, especially the children and those in poor health. May all live in a world of peace, plenty and sustainability.
