Fourth Annual Love and Help Children Awards Banquet awards dozens for Outstanding Achievements
On December 21st, The Way to Happiness Association of Tampa Bay held their 4th Annual Love and Help Children Awards Banquet, recognizing the outstanding achievements of local youth in 2019.
Evangelist Sonji Rhanes, from Jacksonville, Florida, was awarded the “2019 Love and Help Children Award” for her dedication to helping children in her community using the precepts in The Way to Happiness for 11 years. She saw that the 21 precepts fit right in with her dream to make her community and neighborhood safe.
She was able to teach common sense biblical principles in a fun way. Sonji Rhanes told the audience. “My husband and I started a group and every week we would work with children and we would teach Bible studies utilizing The Way to Happiness.” Immediately she saw “changes in the children and in their attitude toward life,” using the TWTH’s moral code.
“The parents would come around thanking me as their kids are now helping out around the house. … So my dream of making a better community is truly becoming a reality.”
After awarding dozens of children for their outstanding achievements, two more children were announced as the King and Queen of The Way to Happiness of 2019, for their exemplary application of the 21 precepts.
To close the event, Tanja Cranton, Executive Director of TWTH Association Tampa Bay, encouraged awardees to continue to practice and increase their skills and become truly professional at what they do. She said “Continue to set a good example. In this way, you not only help yourself but you help others survive better and lead happier lives.”
The event culminated with a live performance by the Flag Band for all guests to celebrate.
