Winning awards was the last thing on my mind when I embarked on this journey several years ago of making a difference with a purpose in the lives of all who have been touched by our CSR initiatives. It is indeed a global village where our actions at the local level can be felt and recognised at the global level. …This is humbling, but I thank the Almighty for the competencies he has given me and the teams I have worked with who share the passion.”
