Philanthropy is an art of giving at an exalted level, an act to enrich the world with good deeds. The world is in need of Philanthropists as not all are privileged to have the basic needs. Philanthropists are the ones who give a helping hand to the needy- be it for food, clothes, education or any need that helps build an individual, and help them grow.
Dr. Huz (Dr. Huzaifa Khorakiwala), CEO, Trustee, Wockhardt Foundation said, “Philanthropy adds value to one’s life. I and my warriors salute the philanthropists for their good deeds. Through Wockhardt Foundation Philanthropist Popular award we are not only encouraging the spirit of giving but also getting people together to do good deeds and help society”
Wockhardt Foundation’s Popular awards are the awards that the awardees are identified and voted for, not by a jury constituted by a few select persons, but by people at the community at large, through the medium of the internet.
