Mumbai | We are delighted to announce that the Harmony Foundation is hosting the prestigious Mother Teresa Memorial Awards for Social Justice 2023 on the 26th of November, 2023, at TAJ SANTACRUZ in Mumbai, from 6:00 PM onwards. The Hon. Governor of Maharashtra, H.E. Ramesh Bais, has consented to be the Chief Guest for our prestigious ceremony this year. The prestigious award ceremony this year will honour individuals and organisations from around the globe who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to "Humanity in Action." The recipients this year are advocates of humanity, and through their earnest dedication, they have strived to spread compassion, lend a helping hand, and uplift communities, exemplifying a spirit that closely mirrors the profound legacy of the revered saint, Mother Teresa.
This year, we are honouring global advocates for humanity like Ms. Heidi Kühn (World Food Prize 2023 recipient and founder of Roots of Peace), imprisoned Iranian Human Rights Activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Ms. Narges Mohammadi, SEAL Ashram (a humanitarian organisation rescuing and rehabilitating destitute people), International Committee of the Red Cross (humanitarian organisation ensuring protection and assistance for victims of war and other situations of violence) and Judge Frank Caprio (admirably known as the world’s nicest judge), among other astounding recipients who have made an extraordinary impact in the world through their exceptional dedication to serving humankind.
Since our event coincides with the date of 26/11, a day marked by the tragic terrorist attacks of 2008 in Mumbai, the Harmony Foundation will pay homage to all the brave martyrs of the Mumbai Police, the NSG commandos, and others who lost their lives on that fateful day. We will commence our programme ceremony by paying tribute to these courageous individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight against terrorism, for they were the embodiment of humanity in its truest form.
The Harmony Foundation hosts the prestigious Mother Teresa Memorial Awards for Social Justice annually to acknowledge and felicitate selfless individuals and organisations across the world for their selfless service to humanity and for having imbibed the compassionate qualities of Mother Teresa. The award is an annual event that celebrates and commemorates the legacy of Mother Teresa and is the only one endorsed by the Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity, Kolkata. It was instituted in 2005 in memory of Mother Teresa, who was canonised a saint by Pope Francis in the Vatican.
I look forward to your attendance.
Kind Regards,
Dr. Abraham Mathai
