WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - April 20, 2020 - PRLog -- Sunny Singh, founder of Yours Humanly, a global nonprofit that provides children in need access to quality educational programs and resources, has been honored with a 2020 Jefferson Award for Public Service, and has been featured on KPIX Ch. 5 TV and KCBS 740AM radio (San Francisco).

"I am humbled and honored to receive a 2020 Jefferson Award for our work on behalf of children in need," says Singh.

Yours Humanly is currently raising funds for its COVID-19 Aid Initiative (https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/yourshumanly-c...), implemented to support local and global efforts to provide morning and midday meals for children in need of food and to provide distance learning tools, such as Chromebooks and internet hotspots, to teachers and students.

The Jefferson Awards for Public Service, the most prestigious and longest-standing public service awards program in the United States, are given at both local and national levels. Local winners are "ordinary people who do extraordinary things without expectation of recognition." It is the goal of the Jefferson Awards to inspire others to become involved in community and public service.

At a later date, all 2020 San Francisco Bay Area regional winners will be recognized at the annual Jefferson Awards Ceremony in San Francisco, which highlights the passion, energy, and impact of Jefferson Award winners, who not only provide volunteer services, but who also champion the importance of volunteerism in local and global communities.
