An award is always looked forward to by one and all and everyone likes awards.

On 3rd March 2024 , OUR NGO was awarded an award under ” COMMUNITY IMPACT LEADERSHIP ” organized by 

O HERALDO @ Enterprise Excellence awards, held at Planet Hollywood.

This award is special as Usually our NGO never gets awards and there is a reason why ?  We never applied for awards.

In the last 5 to 7 years, awards are acquired by many through these ways:

☆ 3. Latest trend , you nominate yourself for an award which is advertised and then you get family , friends, their friends to vote for you through the app and this goes on and on.

I have refrained my self from all the above last many years as I belive in service.

But at The Community Impact Leadership Award , I did not even know about this trending. 

I was nominated by some silent well wishers when these awards were published on The newspapers in February.

And I sincerely thank all those who nominated me quietly.

Then our nomination went to the jury who evaluated our work and rest you know.

This is how we prefer to get an award.

Every month last so many years I get calls and requests to apply for awards which I just laugh over and move on.

THANK YOU.
