“We believe that your selfless effort particularly towards the widows and orphans coupled with the deliberate intervention programmes for other vulnerable persons represent an unwavering commitment and passion for modest contribution to the development of the society.
We earnestly desire this accomplishment would, therefore, bring not only tremendous hope and encouragement to you but a truest sense of greater responsibility. We are confident that with this great milestone, you will continue to allow your selfless spirit to take root while making the mandate of humanity a greater priority.
