With the dust settling on the COVID-19 storm, we give immeasurable thanks to our global leaders, partners, donors and friends for working tirelessly to make the world a better place.
As the world slowly gets back on its feet, we are grateful for new beginnings, second chances, the gift of education, our leaders and game-changers of tomorrow and the many strong role models in our lives who inspire and uplift. We are also humbled and thankful for the simple things in life such as a hug from a friend, clean water and access to quality health care.
But our gratitude extends beyond what we have, it’s a positive reflection of who we are.
