In a simple ceremony at the studios of The Caribbean New Media Group Limited (CNMG) this morning, Avonelle Hector-Joseph was recognised as the "First Up Person of the Year".
First Up is the morning show at CNMG and has gained a loyal audience which was called upon to nominate persons to be chosen as their first ever "Person of the Year". Nominees were selected by viewers' votes in the following categories:
- Children and Youth
- Community Development
- Human Rights/ Equal Rights
- Education and/or Sports
- Arts & Culture
- Environmental conservation/ animal rights
The list of nominees included other very well accomplished citizens of Trinidad and Tobago such as deceased Pat Bishop and "Youth of the Year" Anthony Kipps.
In receiving the award, Joseph thanked those who nominated and voted her her, as well as those who contributed to the work that was being done my Is There Not A Cause (ITNAC). She was quick to mention that the hard work at ITNAC was not only her own, but was mainly attributed to its members who, at every step along the way, are there working hard creating new ideas and working to realise them.
Joseph is the first winner of the award, but this is not the first such accolade for her. Among her long list of recognitions, is the National Youth Award (Community Service).
Congratulations from Gospel Globe The team at Gospel Globe congratulates Avonelle on winning this award to be added to the list of accolades she has received in her time of service to the underprivileged. We will continue to support you and ITNAC on your journey of delivering services to the needy!
We all see new years as a time to start afresh, with new growth, improved successes and all the good things we had hoped for in the past. It is important to remember that God's love remains steadfast, and that we can trust in Him for guidance to achieve these goals.
